Much truth you have said.

But as I have said, most of Eastern Europe went under NATO willingly — because they know what will happen under Russian occupation. Obviously the feelings of Russians were not considered. But the feelings of many Russians is to dominate these countries again. Security is a cheap excuse to cover the previous domination.

In 1991, we gave Ukraine a brand new, up-to-date, constitution — created by the best minds in the field of political science. Then we gave Ukraine some short term cash is exchange for neoliberal economic policies. Ukrainians got kleptocracy instead of democracy. They also got big IMF debts. We’re probably going to repeat this cycle again after the dust settles.

Until we realize that the institution of the political party is the main source of our limitations, we are only hoping and wishing for things that are not likely to happen.
