Which is pretty much just how it's going to be anywhere there's a pro western revolution. If they tell Vitaly Klitcko to sit out, he'd probably sit out, because US good will is pretty important.
As for the Russian Bailout package. That's more or less the exact reason you would want a revolution. If I lived in the Ukraine like my ancestors, the last thing i'd want is owing a ton of money to Russia. Giving Russia even more power over the finances of my country to where it could more or less dump the country into financial crisis to the point of where even the IMF or EU couldn't bail us out. Not to mention iIt more or less would legitamize moves like Crimea, and others, simply by citing a huge ass unpaid debt. |
Yes, I've actually listened. They're talking about who should run things; they're assigning roles to the different players. There are also leaked emails of Vitaly Klitschko to consider. It's pretty clear that there was a very large external involvement in the overthrow.
You talk about US goodwill being important. Tell me how it is important to the Ukrainian public. Unless you mean it's imporant for Klitschko personally, which makes him a much bigger crook than Yanukovich.
You do realize what the alternatives to the Russian bailout were, right? A much smaller than requested loan by the IMF, which came with conditions that would put a considerable financial strain on the majority of Ukrainians. Or a tiny loan offer by EU along with a list of requirements. Neither IMF nor EU were willing to provide any serious help. This fact makes your discussion of a scenario "where even the IMF or EU couldn't bail us out" laughable.
