I don't want Ukraine to be slaves to EU membership and the Euro, but they also need to not be under the bootheal of Russian Imperialism.

Why did police storm camp?

Isn't obvious? The camp and protestors are a pain in the ass to authoritarian-like control.

Kind of like how the Colonialists were a pain in the ass to King George.

The danger is that apparently the USA and Ukraine both signed a treaty in the 1990s that they would maintain the security and integrity of Ukraine. Putin could use this to justify sending in troops to end the rebellion.

Huh? No comparison. The colonists used every means possible to peacefully resolve the issues. The American colonists did not start out rebelling for a break with England. The 'revolutionaries' weren't very revolutionary or reactionary until the situation forced a choice

The Russians should have signed one and that would give them reason. Russians do not want to provoke a showdown over that.

you really need to stop being so alarmists and silly

A senior aid to Putin has already stated that he might be forced to send in troops to deal with the situation.

"Sergei Glazyev, an adviser to President Vladimir Putin with responsibility for relations with Ukraine, told a newspaper that U.S. "interference" breached the 1994 treaty under which Washington and Moscow jointly guaranteed Ukraine's security and sovereignty after Kiev gave up its Soviet-era nuclear arsenal."

 

[L.K.Eder]

this calls for a salomonic judgment. ukraine will be split. the western part associates with the EU, the eastern part merges with putinistan. give the population 4 weeks to relocate if desired, a la punjab. should go down swimmingly.

that's just standard Russian fairy tales for their stupid people.
Putin can't see Russia not being an empire.
He wants the USSR back to where it was - a variation of russian empire.
Ukraine and all others - do not.

US is irrelevant as is EU.
