(2,347 posts)This is like saying I should get Pinochet's perspective on the overthrow of Allende. Why? Why would I care?
To be blunt: there is no difference whatsoever between Right Sector/Svoboda and Putin's regime. Two supremacist sides, the only difference between them being who they want to end up on top.
So, one, I don't really care which side wins in the intra-Ukraine conflict, and two, the only thing that does matter, or should to any non-Ukrainian and non-Russian, is that there be no war over eastern Ukraine. That means the only thing to be concerned about in Donetsk is that it gives Russia a perfect excuse to go in and start one.
I don't need RT or RIA Novosti to make that blindingly obvious observation, and I think we're all quite up to speed on Putin's and Lavrov's perspective without having to go to their house organs to get it. The only reason to pimp their house organs or give a flying fart re their perspective is if you're taking their side.
