		<description><![CDATA[You&#039;re not making ANY sense, maybe it&#039;s because English isn&#039;t your first language.  You asked this:

&quot;If West Ukrainians are ethnically Russians, why are they opposed to aligning with Russia?&quot;

Why would ANYONE in Ukraine be opposed to ANY alignment with Russia then?  Come on, don&#039;t be stupid.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The one thing not mentioned in this article is deep cultural ways are in conflict.  There is the historical attitude of Royal Type behavior.  Then there is the culture of clans.  Fiercely trying to be independent of inherited Royal privilege. Again historically there have been more than one of each of these factions.  There are certain aspects of both of these types of governments. Either from the beginning but in the end for sure the leaders have enriched themselves at the expense of their adversaries and followers.  They both ruled with an iron fists creating justifiable antagonism and viscous reprisals. This created an atmosphere much like between the Hatfields and McCoys that have survived from medieval to present times. The concept of democracy, which includes protection of minority views and interests is not fully understood and accepted.  Not all people are ready to practice democracy.  It a long time for our founders to settle on having a democratic republic and longer for people to practice it.  In some regents of the world it may take decades or longer.  The people of the Ukraine are in between a big rock and a hard place.  Their best hope is that in time they will be ready and able to govern themselves with dignity and justice for all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing: please do not mix Brussels so much with the EU. Brussels is first of all the capital city of one of the EU member states (Belgium) and 95% of its population has nothing to do with the EU institutions. The shortcut towards demonization is way too easy in that matter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is Bruce Bawer &amp; The Telegraph wrong?  

He has an amazing track record. Still I had to check.  I checked Catherine Ashton&#039;s biography and she was never once elected to the British or European Parliaments.

&#039;Or take halfwit EU Foreign Affairs honcho Catherine Ashton,

 ...
“has never once bothered the ballot box, never once ventured into the rowdy arena of public opinion to win the masses’ backing, and who was elevated to her current position&quot; &#039;

***
&quot;For most of the 1990s, she was a freelance policy adviser&quot; -wiki

Read, not even her socialists friends wanted to hire her full time.

		<description><![CDATA[Excellent explanation, well said.

I wonder if, instead of looking at the realities of today, Ukraine yearns for the ideal Europe of the history books, and is fleeing the memory of the Russia of Stalin&#039;s Soviet Communism.

One more reason for Ukraine to think twice about submitting to the EU is the threat of the EU&#039;s drive to flood of all the regions of Europe with Islam in it&#039;s pursuit of super-power status and empire.]]></description>
