Understanding Ukraine: The Problems Today and Some Historical Context







MY COMMENTS ON THIS VIDEO

You left out a vey important part- the part about Crimea declaring its independence in 1992 and writing its own Constitution that Ukraine would not 'accept' It has tried to get the governing body of Crimea to make its laws be within the Ukrainian Constitutional boundaries but Crimea has never accepted such a thing and has done what it wants in that respect....Both Ukraine  and Russia have (had) naval headquarters in Sevastopol, a special status municipality of Ukraine within the Crimean borders . All 3 have unofficially governed their own things in this city  and basically coexisted peacefully since the Peace and Friendship Treaty.  AND Don't forget  that Russia is ALLOWED to have 25,000 troops there!!!
Ukraine had several official languages including Russian. However , since the ousting, Russian is immediately banned ,a deliberate provocative move which would be pure stupidity unless it is to serve an underlying purpose which would be the same purpose of the whole mess- which was supposedly a spontaneous uprising of Ukrainians-NOT. And suddenly this 'new' govt wants to take over  as the 'official' governing policy states, though this has not been enforced since 1992........could it be possible that Crimea saw this coming? They did not want to be forced to do it the 'offcial ' way (as stated by Ukraine but that Crimea has never accepted or abided by).
And perhaps they actually DID ask Russia for help?????
Geez, is there ANYWHERE to go to find a completely objective statement of facts????  Maybe not because each fact in this quagmire history has so many perceptual angles....sigh...
Oh, and Alaska cannot be part of Canada precisely BECAUSE it borders Russia and we want to encircle Russia...which is also a major reason that we- US, NATO, EU(add specific fingers grabbing at this piece of pie)- want Crimea with its Russian Naval HQ 2 miles off the coast of Russia and its underground submarine base....RUSSIA is not only defending Crimea but in essence Russia is defending itself....This ain't about free elections for Ukraine  or their people ...this is about  global power jockeying and the western powers are not the innocent ones here....regardless of what you may think of Russia.... they have not instigated this  ---the west has, and it is basically a move against Russia---bottom line
 
 
 No one ever mentions the fact that the  Russian troops are allowed to be there And that they were already there before all of this started....not only is this 'technically not an invasion' ..To me,.
It is a purposeful, provocative, pernicious piece of propaganda by western media that is
deliberately distorting reality  and specifically designed to elicit an emotional response. 
This type of propaganda is usually a prelude to 'the next step' in a preplanned agenda.
...so many wars have been based on  deliberate lies...
For me, this makes the western media look like guilty accomplices to a western agenda in what has been and whatever is to come...and all that is before I would even start to research facts....
I hate that sort of  propaganda crap  but this seems to be the only type of news in the whole world these days....the news does not report facts,,,
it is difficult to find truth anymore...
