--- If the US is siding with the people who have seated the power in Ukraine with the help of extremists, doesn’t that mean that they are supporting radicalism?__________________________________________________________ Yes, this is exactly what it means and this is the great contradiction in the American and European position. If this kind of events of violent revolution like this was happening in any western European nation, or ally of the US anywhere in the world or around the western hemisphere, the US reaction and the European reactions would certainly be to support the central government as strongly as possible because Ukraine was not a dictatorship. President Yanukovich was democratically elected, he was still in his first term, he had lost the previous election, previously the Ukrainian presidents were defeated, have stood down, Ukraine had freedom of the press, was peaceful, had independent political parties, Ukraine was free and democratic. There was no justification for a violent toppling of the government. ( Gerhard Schröder )
