Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault: The liberal delusions that provoked putin

[pampango]

54. Damn that FDR! If he had not created the IMF/World Bank/UN/ITO, the world would be free of

those pesky international organizations (perhaps even the right wing' favorite enemy "One World Government&quot which rob countries of the "sovereignty". Ahh, for the 'good old days' of the highly 'sovereign' countries in the 1930's. The world was such a better place back then.

And there was no 'coup' in Ukraine. Yanukovich signed an agreement to remain as president pending elections one day. He controlled the military and security forces facing a group of protesters who had shown their limited power by holding on to exactly one public square in a large European city. Something tells me his military and security forces could have handled such an unimposing force.

Instead, the day after signing the agreement to remain in office he (either unilaterally or with 'guidance' from some other source) decided that leaving Ukraine made more sense than living up to the agreement he had just signed.
