UKRAINE WARISH THING -- THE TANKENING

[Frostbyte]

I think the Ukraine want to be part of the EU over being allied with Russia.

Isn't this why they started the riot?

Flipping through the thread, this really was shocking

There's also the fact that the current government reversed the 2004 amendments to the constitution in 2010. The 2004 amendments were approved by 90% of parliament (this was after the orange revolution.) These amendments decreased the power of the president, and, among other things, prevented him from nominating a prime minister.

I don't think this will last for long without UN intervention,  Obama already warned the protesters to peacefully demonstrate, and said that there would be a consequence if this was kept up. I think the Ukraine is in for a scary future at this rate.

So the UN is going to let Egypt overthrow itself twice, but when a nation that has gone through hundreds of years of oppression and wants to fight back, they are told to give up. Who gives a stuff what Obama thinks, he has no authority over Ukraine or any of the former Soviet-Block nations.

Hey, things like that happen when corruption takes over.

President backed out on a treaty to connect Ukraine to EU because of some Russian pressure or something.
