Could you imagine if one of our ignorant, blood-thirsty neo-cons were in-charge, over there, during this crisis?
Yikes, I get chills just thinking about it.
I guess my main criticism would be that their head of state was too quite in the immediate aftermath of the violent coup d'état in Kiev, especially as some were trying to spin it as a Democratic coup, so as to prevent that narrow narrative from becoming the dominate one, which is allowing this situation to unnecessarily continue to worsen vs constructive criticism and talks being engaged in by all sides.
However, I could be totally wrong on that criticism, since our M$M is notorious in misrepresenting the other side of the story
I think the grown-ups on our side need to step up, and work with Russia and the Ukraine to help resolve this serious constitutional crisis over there before the right-wing wackos get their way, and war actually does 'break-out'.
Sending positive energy to all diplomats involved in resolving this situation, and wish them all success for a peaceful conclusion to their very important work.
