Ukraine Asserts Russian Invasion and Reinstitutes Draft

5. What's "amazing" is your power of misinterpretation.

I'm not the least bit excited about this situation which is ugly all around. Your strawman has nothing to do with what I think.

Can we talk intelligently about Russia and Ukraine? http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025267434

What's even more amazing is your power to ignore how this started: with a hijacked rebellion in Kiev, a junta of bankers and fascists that chose to attack the ethnic Russian population, prompting the Crimea secession in the first place, and that then upped the ante by escalating into armed hostilities against the Donetsk separatists (and killing the civilian population of the eastern Ukraine generally!).

EU & US were hardly inactive - they shouldn't have been meddling in Ukraine before the Maidan movement, and they shouldn't be encouraging, arming, and advising the present government or accepting its propaganda about how all Russians in Ukraine are "terrorists." It's their empty suggestion that they're actually going to risk World War III on behalf of the Kiev junta that has encouraged the latter to keep pulling its increasingly stupid, murderous stunts. One hopes this insanity will not go on for much longer. It's obvious that Kiev is making no progress militarily and the draft may accelerate this government's disintegration.
