You mean support nazis? I am sure most of the people from europe and usa don't even know who are those who overthrown a government, they are nazis, they damage world war monuments and try to prohibit russian language, they are walking yelling nazi propoganda and I dont think they are people I want to support.


So you think a country is just going to have a nice peaceful revolution without fringe political movements making moves to be in the drivers seat when the country starts to stabilize again?

There are def. Nazi supporters in the mix, the pictures and such don't lie. To assume all Ukrainians that are actively participating in the overthrow of their own government are Nazis just because a fringe group exhibit Nazi propaganda sounds like a whole lot of throwing out the baby the bath water to me.

Every revolution we've seen in the past few years has been either partially orchestrated or fully hijacked by an opposed political party. Arab Spring was full of Al Qaida, Hezbollah, and Muslim Brotherhood influences to the point that in Egypt they had to basically have a revolution of their revolution to break the power structures that settled after the first one and out the leaders that ended up making power grabs during the chaos.

If you were to see a similar thing here in the US you'd better believe half of the people would be classified terrorists and there would be a power struggle between the two primary opposing parties and the fringe parties that would hope to capitalize on the chaos, they(KKK, BlackPanthers, "Don't Tread on Me" crowd, etc.) would all be trying to garner support/awareness and make a good name/image for a political role after things had calmed down.


Do you write for Pravda, by any chance? That style of frothing-at-the-mouth anti-Ukraine propaganda seems eerily familiar.
