| You're now fighting with me on two different conversation threads, what seems like just for the sake of fighting at this point. Violent protest is always greeted with crowd control. In Every Country. You seem to be forgetting that the Ukrainian population caused a revolution, instead of waiting for the election for a few more months. Have a look at the violence from protestors just before it all fell apart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stK3YPz6WTc The people are worse off today than they were before. Not everyone supported their revolution, and you can deny that all you want, but, the people in the Donbass don't want to be a part of the circus that is Ukraine in its current state. > Currency exchange rates are irrelevant. Clearly I'm beating a dead horse. I don't know where to begin explaining to you that currency is not irrelevant. About the mass emigration, these are people who have not filed for citizenship with other countries because in a lot of circumstances they cannot. No one is coming to Ukraine looking at it as a desirable place to live at the moment. There are less jobs in Ukraine, there is less trade in Ukraine, people have no choice but to work abroad. Yes, I am also aware of the cases of some defected ex-Russian military helping the Donbass fighters, but, again you keep ignoring the fact that 99% of the population enlisted in fighting are citizens of the Donbass... How can you honestly argue that the status quo is better than it was before the revolution? What are you even arguing? |
