Let's talk about the EU

[renard_ruse]

So, the EU leaders are no doubt peeing themselves silly with joy over their orchestrated coup in Ukraine. One more country to notch on the bedpost. One more puppet state for the Evil Empire in Brussels.

Yet, there are deeper problems facing the Evil Empire much closer to home. The recent immigration referendum in Switzerland which basically spells the end of the Schengen Treaty. The continuing rise of anti-EU parties in major countries like Britain and France. The economic problems in Greece, Spain, etc.

The Evil Empire is in deep trouble.

1. The Swiss referendum doesn't come close to ending the Schengen Agreement.
2. The former president of Ukraine was a dictator that abolished Ukraine's constitution and massacred his own people when they protested.
3. You're a retard.

One of the best comments on the Ukraine came from a Russian speaker in the part of Ukraine that has been supporting the President:

"I would vote for any reasonable candidate who is for Ukraine. But if I had a choice between the President and an Opposition candidate who wants to deny that parts of Ukraine feel Russian, I would reluctantly have to choose the President despite what he has done to our country."

The legal President of Ukraine is a democratically elected leader who won a free and fair election. His "own people" (the protestors) were a subset of the population which engaged in violence and property damage, and in fact, committed treason against their own legal democratically elected government.

The coup is Ukraine is illegal.

And Switzerland is not even a member of the EU anyway. They're not joiners, the Swiss, they only joined the UN in 2002.

Not even Yanukovych would call it a coup.

That's EXACTLY what it is. The word couldn't be more accurate.

A gang of thugs just chased out the government and is establishing a new one. That's a coup.

Sometimes it's called a revolution, you know.

This is neither, quite, though it might conceivably lead to one or the other eventually. The same government is still in power, but has agreed to call early elections, which are not unconstitutional, AFAIK.
