A Chronology of the Ukrainian Coup

98. I've spent the last ten minutes looking for who was supporting Imperialism, Russian Imperialism and

I just couldn't find them here.

This is rather ironic though 'You either support sovereign nations to have the government they decide to have, or you don't'.

I do, most definitely, EVEN when the elected leader turns out to be a war criminal, (see eight years of Bush right here) I so respect the Democratic process where people choose who they want for President, that it never even occurred to me that we should consider toppling that horrific and dangerous regime. Why? Because elections keep a country CIVILIZED and when mob rule takes over, serious problems always follow. Countries can split in two, civil wars can start, but toppling governments from the street never turn out well for anyone.

Btw, Yanukovich WAS elected by a majority of the people right? And there was an election coming up. Why on earth would they risk violence when had they waited a few months they could have had what they wanted.

Or could they? Perhaps they didn't think they were in the majority and that they might lose if the issue was to be resolved through the electoral process? Otherwise it makes no sense to topple a government by coup.

I support sovereign nations, even when leaders turn out not to be so great. Elections are the way for sovereign nations to remove bad leaders.

Btw, how do you feel about Crimea choosing to declare their Independence from Ukraine? Will you respect THEIR right to do so?
