Three Ukrainian lessons for the United States
Superb analysis of the Ukrainian revolution by 'edgeofthesandbox', a co-blogger at Legal Insurrection. He makes three points:
1 -- somewhat educated young people with no hope are revolutionary
2 -- bilingual nations are inherently unstable
3 -- it's easier to lose freedom than to gain it
Also a detailed discussion of the split in that country between the Russified east, which emphatically does not support the revolution, and the western more European half that does.
Absolutely recommended. |
