In reply to the discussion: Ukraine Violence Spreads: At Least One Killed in Odessa Riots [View all]nyabingi
(1,145 posts)50. Right Sector are their homegrown militia, their shock troops to
help reinforce the new order in Kiev. I never said Right Sector controlled Ukraine, you did.
And do you think Obama or any other American politician cares who the pro-Westerners in Ukraine really are? Obama doesn't care that Svoboda is openly fascist or that Right Sector played a big role in the overthrow of a democratically-elected government.
This is why Obama in one instance can drone attack "al-Qa'ida" militants in Yemen and parts of Pakistan, yet support "al-Qa'ida" jihadists in Syria against the Assad government. Do you not see that this doesn't make sense??
What the hell is wrong with some of you people?

It's disgusting to see "Dems are as bad as Republicans" and "Russians were defending themselves"

This is a major escalation. I think the current version of Ukraine is about to become history.
