“The poor, beleaguered Ukrainian culture is torn between East and West and those wishing for a better life apparently have to choose between Russia and the EU. What a choice! The EU is a fascist/corporatist empire in the making and Russia is devolving into an authoritarian cult of personality.  Yet Western Ukraine apparently is enamored of the EU, at least in part. The East, with huge factories and industrial trade with Russia believes that the Ukraine’s future lies with the Great Bear. The easiest observation to make – as we mentioned above – is that a lot of the current ruckus smacks of NATO/CIA interference.”
