Would seem that this nationalist attitude has distracted Russians from internal issues, no doubt.
I'm not really sure what to make of this whole deal. Keep hearing from the west how actions in eastern Ukraine are undemocratic, meanwhile a former EU banker has been put into official power of the country by western interests with no election, Russia clearly is instigating unrest in Ukraine, westernization of nations on Russia's borders... it just stinks all around. |
Russia complaining about "westernization" of its neighbors always struck me as hilarious. Maybe if Russia were less aggressive, fewer bordering nations would be rushing to join a defensive alliance aimed against Russia.
