is how naïve you are about this region.
the threat of nationalism in Ukraine is very real whether you like it or not.
I personally hate 'president' putin... and think his actions have been extremely over the top...
but to pretend that right wingers aren't taking over the Ukraine wont change that.
I know the Ukrainian people were good intentioned getting behind these protests... their government was/is indeed corrupt...
but the folks leading the protests and ripping those statues down were right wing fundamentalists. im sorry, they just were.
so now the 'new government' of Ukraine is in and they are just as corrupt as the last bunch.. with ties to the CIA (weve tended to back nationalists since WW2 ended, not sure why..) and organized crime (mobs)..
I hardly think ousting one corrupt government for another form of corrupt government was really the goal most Ukrainians had in mind.
don't let your hatred for one man blur history for ya... enough of us hate him enough that you can hold back a little, I promise 
the left hasn't had a fight in this since day one...
just a corrupt corporatist government against multiple corrupt criminal right wing nationalist groups... with the angry (at the sitting government) Ukrainian people caught in the middle.
lets just hope the international community punishes Russia for its actions economically.. I say squeeze until the bread lines start to form again, but that's just me.
