Anyone Following The Protests In The Ukraine?
I've been seeing some impressive pics of protests in Kiev.
Protests against new anti-democratic laws in Ukraine are increasing in intensity, with four citizens reported dead. As you can see in these extraordinary images by Ilya Varlamov, the demonstrators are using rockets made with fireworks. They look like scenes from some science-fiction movie about urban warfare. The latest reports talk about at least four people killed and hundreds injured by the police. After the massive protests against the government's rejection against the European Union in favor of an alliance with the former Russian oppressors, Kiev officials announced new repressive laws limiting the people's right to protest. These urban battles are the people's reaction to those laws. Ukraine was a former Soviet Republic, created after a civil war between pro-communist and the Ukrainian People's Republic armies at the beginning of the 20th century, right after the fall of the Russian Empire. The communists won, and the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic was established. In theory, it was an independent state, but in fact—like all republics in the USSR and satellite countries—it was under a tight control by the Kremlin. http://sploid.gizmodo.com/spectacula...rai-1507432049 Pics to follow... |

Putin recognized that we were governed by total clowns like Obama-Biden-McCain etc. He did what anyone would do: he laughed his nuts off and ignored them.

I see you're avoiding answering the question.
I don't need a dictionary for sovereignty, which isn't enough for a comprehensive understanding until you apply it to the real world. That takes some deductive reasoning. As I already know what the dictionary definition means, I am just able to apply deductive reasoning to the definition in real life. Plus I know what "supreme" and "authority" mean. A country can cede part of it's sovereignty via treaties or agreements on trade, security or anything else which makes it no longer supreme in those areas. Or they can fail to protect the integrity of its borders via invasion, war or illegal immigration. I don't see Rome around anymore do you? Looks like the Ukraine is busting up and needs someone outside their authority to prevent it or to defend them. That's not considered being the "supreme authority" over their country. Nope. Hence NOT fully or NO longer sovereign. Let me know when you can apply the definition in the real world using some deductive reasoning. So when are you going over to save the Ukraine?

The lack of any self-awareness by the Bidens here is just astounding:

While you're calling Buc an "apologist", this would be yet another good opportunity to ask on what issues you disagree with the US/Kiev position. After all, you don't want to be Buc's apologist doppelgänger- do you?

Just state your disagreements with the US or Kiev thus far. It's a very simple question Listo.

I am asking you to be more specific because you haven't been honest in this thread, so go ahead and state the positions you are referring to.

I think you owe Buc an apology for projecting your own one-sided viewpoints onto her. Projection is a bad human trait Listo. Hopefully you apologize to her.
