What the Mainstream Media isn't telling you about the situation in Kiev.

71. Yeah, because partition works so well, see Yugoslavia.

What about the majority-minority blocks within the minority-majority areas? Partition is a great long-term solution a) if you are a very naive liberal humanitarian who's barely conscious of the ineherent imperialism in your proposal; or b) if you are CIA looking to plunge Ukraine, and Russia, and Europe, into a decade of ethnic cleansing and proxy war based on obtuse categories taken from the irrational and outdated handbook of traditional beliefs. What about all the people who don't identify strongly either way, or, e.g., who think of themselves as Russian-speaking Ukrainians, or global citizens, or whatever? I suppose they can just be given the same choices as those who in 1991 thought of themselves as Yugoslavians, and believed they had escaped the old ethno-religious matrices: join, run, or die.
