Another Geopolitical Triumph For Vladimir Putin!

[David Morris]

It's funny. I seem to remember massive street protest demanding, at first,
only a trade pact with EU, and then after a violent and deadly attempt by
Yanukovitch to stop the protests, universal demands for Yanukovitch's
departure (or arrest). So how did the neocons (inept at all logistics -
only good at lies) engineer those protests?
