In reply to the discussion: Why is Putin getting a pass from many? [View all]Are_grits_groceries
(17,139 posts)a stable government is the far right. They have forever been anti-semitic as well as anti-LGBT among others. I am not ignoring that. That is the internal threat and they are one group that the Ukranians have to keep from overtaking the whole government.
However, Putin is a threat too. Is he going to be any more beneficial to them? In addition, the Ukrainian people have to be taken into account or are we only interested in certain groups who are more at risk. They won't be treated well either.
As far as Crimea, that is the first problem. However, the law passed in Russia gave him authority to also use military action in Eastern Ukraine. Putin takes that seriously.
Why do you state the far right is a threat to the Jewish people and others and not think Putin is too? Is that just a given in your statement?
