(7,353 posts)In the mind of Tea-Partiers...Benghazi and the IRS are valid...no matter how much they may be mis-informed and of course think we are all delusional. To them, its a valid national crisis...just don't have the organization to attempt something like they are doing in Ukraine....thankfully.
And the Ukraine may or may not have a national crisis...depending on one's point of view. They are broke and have huge bills to pay. Russia offered to pay it for them, provided they don't become anti-Russia...so from the populace that wants closer ties to Moscow...this shouldn't be a problem....and to them, those who want the EU deal are falling for a "bogus non-story"
The populace that doesn't want to be in Moscow's sphere of influence and is willing to go through Greek Austerity for the time being think its a national crisis for not siding with EU. They think they are losing their independence and becoming a satellite state of Russia...a view that has been promoted by US special interests (and we know the US Government has a hand of this due to that leaked phone call). So to them, the populace that wants closer ties with Moscow are delusional.
And the ironic thing in all this....Ukraine could take Russia's offer and still negotiate some good trade deals with the EU later. Granted they won't be as good the EU has on the table now...but in the long term they could set themselves up to be less reliant on both the EU and Russia. But...everyone see's this as only two sides and once choice is "bad".
