re: Who is legally in charge in Ukraine?

At the same time you have to understand why Russia wouldn't take kindly to the US trying to subvert Ukrainian politics. We want to have those gas pipelines under western control, we want NATO in Ukraine, we want Ukraine to be owned by the western central banking hegemony. These things would be terrible for Russia. We must be imperialistic when it come to foreign policy, our economy is dependent on it.

So we have to ask Russia where we can help push forward democratic govts?

And how comne all of a sudden Russia is an economic giant that can dictate to us who our friends are?

We don't need NATO. All I said was what is wrong with promoting a democratic Ukraine? And if the only answer is that it might offend Russia than pardon me, I didn't think we gave Russia a veto over our foreign policy .

On second thought, maybe Obama did.
