In reply to the discussion: Putin Tells Obama Russia Will Act In Case of Ukraine Violence [View all]Benton D Struckcheon
(2,347 posts)Putin and his "United Russia" party are easily as fascistic as anything the Ukraine has put up, and by the looks of it the Ukrainian side hasn't exactly distinguished itself.
In here, we have folks beating each other up over which of these scum to support. Oh lord.
Simple fact of the matter is you have a bunch of backwater rubes fighting each other in much the same manner as the Hatfields and the McCoys. The only thing that makes it significant to outsiders is that one of the sides involved has, as a matter of historical fact which no longer has any relevance to the actual power structure of the actual world of the 21st century, veto power at the UN. It's more a testament to the fossilized structure of that body than it is to any reality anyone else lives in.
If Putin wins, whatever that means, he gets to reconstruct the old USSR with Russia and the Ukraine in it, but without the Baltics or Kazakhstan or Azerbaijan.
Oh my. What a prize.
