I had already seen this and agree with the most of the speech. However, ideological resistance is only the weapon of a few. People have been brainwashed for years, since they were kids, to feed on that propaganda without expressing a doubt. In France, most people try to put a tinfoil hat on your head whenever they’re told our economic system isn’t going anywhere nice, that our world didn’t reach a permanent state of peace when USSR fell, that despite alliances, everyone has been building more and more military equipmemt and strategical weapons in the past few years.
I don’t think the mentioned global mind-shift will ever happen. And since democracy as we know it is just a game of who speaks the loudest…
I honestly don’t know what is going to happen. My level in economics and geopolitical knowledge don’t allow me to guess much, and politics is something I’d rather stay far from. I’m just thinking from a natural point of view : we are more and more numerous, live older than we used to, but our resources are limited and coming to an end for some (petroleum). There’s no way we can go on without either expanding somewhere else (out of question for now) or drastically reducing our population in the most “human” way : open warfare. Seems to be what we’re the best at…

Btw, Putin did the right thing and confirmed the Russian presence in Crimea. A formality since we already knew, but still a welcome thing.

Really hope there is a peaceful ending to this. With military response of this “government” though, it’s a though sell.

For me personally, at first I was actually optimistic about what was going on in Kiev. I think that authorities should feel they don’t have absolute power and be reminded of that by citizens marching on the streets if authorities are starting to forget. I was even kind of dreaming about moving to Odessa (Black sea coast) after things change in Ukraina, because it’s cheaper to live there, good climate, everyone speaks my language, they’re going to have more liberal laws etc. But it turns out new government is just the same as old. Again people are shot dead by government forces. They even have former main supporters of Yanukovich (mostly oligarchs) appointed as governors of their home regions (guess which ones?). Nothing changed really. Except zone of influence of EU has been expanded, it’s 19th century all over again…

Also about your words somewhere here about you being on Putin’s side before Maidan. It’s just rediculous. You clearly have absolutely no fucking idea of what’s going on in this country. I probably have no right to advise you since it’s like your personal blog, but may be you still could consider this one: keep politics away of this blog. People come here for stuff about World of Tanks. I’m reading your blog because you are doing truely great job of compiling info from different sources and you’re doing it real quick. Bringing politics here makes your blog like ‘hostile’ for those who deeply disagree with your opinion. It therefore makes them angry and you’re losing readers. Ofc you might say that you just like to troll people, but who you are like /b/tard or something?

BTW: What if i ask the "remaining Ukrainian Army" about these soldiers?
What if i ask the people who these guys "defend" at the spot?

Just because these are the people who won't spit propaganda to the asker. At least i hope.
