Ukraine's European Revolution?

[Queequeg]

Why are you guys arguing with Russia's mouthpiece?

I want Ukraine to succeed.  I want Russia to be a normal country that doesn't murder its best citizens or invade it's neighbors.  These aren't completely at odds; if anything I think it is now obvious that a non-evil Russia would probably help a lot in Ukrainian development.

Yeah, well, Henry Morgenthau thought Germany was such a unique, special kind of evil that completely deindustrializing the nation was the only long-term solution.  Permanent immiseration is never an ideal.

How does Ukraine's demographic situation compare to Georgia's?

They're completely different countries in a whole bunch of ways.

Fine, fine.

1) Breakaway Georgian areas were economically marginal, and populated by ethnicities completely distinct from Georgians.  Georgians have been around since the Ice Age.  Georgians as a whole are supportive of greater EU and NATO ties.
2) Related.  Tblisi isn't the birthplace of the Rus'.  Tblisi is Tblisi.  It's vaguely in Russia's sphere of influence but the vast majority of Russians and a substantial number of the people of the other country don't look at Russians as countrymen. 
3) Georgia and Armenia were the Soviet equivalent of California.  A lot of tech industry, well educated people, resorts. 
4) Georgia has substantial expat and emigre community and is already pretty well integrated in to global economy after Saakashvili's reforms. 

Georgia has a lot more in common with Estonia than it does with Ukraine.

The life expectancy for male Ukranians is 66 years, not many pensions will be needed.
