#2 Those folks want what we have, the basic rights to freedom of speech, religion, assembly - without disappearing into a prison, or simply disappearing completely. Unlike the armchair phony-tough poseurs who belittle her and the other young protesters, she plainly realizes she is risking it all, and is doing so willing for freedoms we take for granted. They are hoping someone, anyone will hear and help. they are so desperate as to ask the EU for help. Yeah the EU stinks, but sneeringly abandoning these people into the tender mercies of Putin and his gang, just to spite the EU's socialists is a pretty stupid thing to do. As for the US, Obama has already sold them out once, and he is trying to ignore the Ukraine lest he shit his pants if Putin says boo. So they really don't have any choice at this point.
