Ukraine – U Lose

I’m still trying to figure out this whole Ukraine thing and why Western leaders are so quick to support the current Ukraine government over that of those in Crimea.

The current Ukraine government has not been officially elected.

A democratically elected government was overthrown by a non-democratically elected group of people, many known for their fascist tendencies.  There is speculation this was done with the help of US/EU insiders.

We’re also starting to see early signs of the financial rape of the Ukraine.  Was it the previous government that expropriated funds or is the current government cooking the books to throw more blame on their takeover targets?  To what extent can you blame a current situation on the previous ‘management’ (like Harper has been for the last decade)?

Turning to Crimea, we’ve seen that a democratic referendum in Crimea is NOT being recognized by the Western world.

What is going on here?

Why are our leaders being so obstinate and obtuse when it comes to the simple measures that they pretend to uphold?

Why do they speak about democracy and turn their backs on inconvenient realities – takeovers good, elections bad?

Why are we tolerating this BS and why is the media simply narrating the ‘official’ outline from our governments?

The reality is that this is a power play over gas and oil.  Much like the takeover of Afghanistan and surrounding areas were completed to secure gas lines, the Ukraine stands between the EU and Russia (who is threatening to pull the plug on gas and oil to the EU).

Sit with fascists to protect your energy resources – good.

Protect the rights of Ukrainians who will now have to suffer the consequences of a fascist coup in the Ukraine – bad.
