No one should be fooled by the Kremlin’s spin doctors. The conflict in Ukraine is not about Ukraine. Nor is it about Russia, or even about NATO. It is about democracy. The West must respond accordingly.
Uh, Vladimir Putin was elected democratically; he has no approval rating of over 85%, and a vast majority of Russians say they would vote for him in an election today. No Western leader has comparable popular support. The liberal opposition in Russia was not able to elect even one member to the Duma.
Viktor Yanukovych was the democratically elected president of Ukraine until he was overthrown in a putsch under highly questionable circumstances to say the least, with the trail pointing to the US rather than Russia.
