So I made this thread to discuss the situation in Ukraine. Essentially this is how I see it:
- Yankovich decides not to go for EU integration, because Russia is offering more assistance, and for other reasons.
- There are protests.
- Protests are escalated, and violence is used on both sides.
- Yankovich is thrown out and protesters take power
- Eastern Ukraine is enraged at the deposing of the leader that they mostly voted into office(election was probably fair)
- Russia begins mobilizing troops at its borders(nobody bats an eye, it is reasonable to do so when bordering a wildly destabilizing country)
- Pro-Russian protesters seize power in Crimea and other cities in Eastern Ukraine
- Some kind of independent government in Crimea allegedly calls on Russia to help them
- Russia stations army on Ukrainian soil
- Russia allegedly demands Ukraine surrender bases by Tuesday 3:00 GMT
Blatant power grab, peacemaking mission, or something in between?
