Ukraine's European Revolution?

[Syt]

I'm sure the Ukrainian people have had enough of Soviet and/or Russian dominance, and don't want to chance having Russia gain more influence over them, given the directions Russian govt has been going.

I don't know. It's not clear what the majority want. My understanding is Ukraine really is 50-50 on Russia v Europe. I think around 30% of the population speak Russian as their first language after all.

Every election seems to go like this in 2010, with the West generally backing pro-EU candidates and the East pro-Russia ones:

Indeed. Personally, I think the best long term solution would be to give the East to Russia and be done with it.

I liked Putin's pogrom comparison.

I roomed with a German guy in France and he openly said he would not join the military or resist even if the US had invaded with the intent of forcing every German into slavery. 

I smell an opportunity.

I'm not so sure.

Oh what do you know, it's not like you were born there.

It's kind of hilarious how closely that models the boundaries between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Muscovites, Cossacks and Tatars.

And the colors of the Western Party are even red and white.



Still tormenting Russia

Apparently RUssian state media have said that the Ukrainian protests are orchestrated mostly by Sweden, Lithuania and Poland, the age old enemies, who are still butthurt over getting their ass kicked by Peter the Great. Proof: the Swedish prime minister has generals among his ancestors!

I remember long time ago some Russian fascist garbage called Khimaira was banned from Paradox directly by Johan.  To be fair, that was a bit of a questionable ban, but that guy went complaining on some Russian forum, and the conclusion among the Russians was that Johan was smarting from the fact that Russia ended Sweden's status as a great power.

Let me put it this way: I wasn't much surprised that Hortlund was protected on the P'dox forums for as long as he was.
