How to Save Ukraine. Why Russia Is Not the Real Problem.

Post by EBA »

For the first time since 1989, Europe is transforming. Russia is expanding. NATO and the West are struggling to react. And there is constant talk of a new Cold War. The primary protagonists, by most accounts, are Russia and the West. It’s Putin vs. Obama, Moscow vs. Brussels, authoritarian speed vs. democratic dithering. The bit of territory that they are clawing at -- Ukraine -- has largely been eclipsed. For, as with all great geopolitical contests, observers assume that the real forces at work lie not in the battleground -- Ukraine now, or Corcyra in the struggle between Athens and Sparta, or Bohemia in the Thirty Years’ War -- but with the Great Powers.

Прекрасное начало статьи. Движение НАТО на восток изменением не считаем. Оказывается изменение в Европе с 1989 - это когда Россия раcширяется. A НАТО и запад только реагируют.

Ну и какое это законное правительство и как оно отражает "юго-восток"? Не удивительно что они с такой лёгкостью двигают армию.

"Around 60 percent of its top officials (ministers and above) come from the former Habsburg provinces. A third are from Lviv itself. Only two members of the new government (Interior Minister Arsen Avakov and Minister of Social Policy Lyudmila Denisova) hail from the country’s south and east."
