Ukraine crisis: Canada, U.S. tell Russia to withdraw forces

14. If they believe 'the Ukrainian people must be free to determine their own future' and some want to

form another government, it's just as valid as the one in Kiev. FDR was for the principle of self-determination based on how the people of nations wanted to be formed. Ukraine was created by outside forces.

That's the logic with Canada's tongue-in-cheek statement. It could be construed either way, can't be applied unequally. There is no stopping history being made. Canada likes the current government in Kiev.

The eastern and southern parts of Ukraine now feel they are being repressed. It would have been better if all this on both sides was handled in a slow, deliberate fashion without violence.

But it was not, and the chips will fall where they may, no matter what anyone says. And it really is their business, that of the Ukrainians themselves, not the EU or the USA. We can swear all we want.

I say this because it's being used by our own wingnuts, like Corker, to start egging the Russians on with sanctions. They wanted sanctions against Iran, too. The Teapublicans still want to run the Oval Office from the Senate Gym. Fuck 'em.
