| Soundwave said: Putin is a dictator. That's not strength in my eyes though. Russia is not going to get off this scott free though, they will pay a heavy price and IMO have forever alienated the rest of Ukraine and other Eastern European countries by taking Crimea. No one is going to forget this any time soon. |
The eastern and rural Ukrainian population is very pro Russian and represents a larger part of the overall Ukrainian population, the smaller urban pro EU part that lives in Kiev did not like that there candidate lost and so staged a coup that was then backed by the US and EU.
This is why for all the rhetoric coming from Kiev most of the country is not up in arms about the Crimea.
But typically the western media only focus's in how the capital's population reacts.
