Hi again. To quote myself: "The current government is not a puppet but actually an actor who tries to extract bonuses from multiple parties by raising stakes."

Hi again. To quote myself:
"The current government is not a puppet but actually an actor who tries to extract bonuses from multiple parties by raising stakes."
Multiple parties are USA, EU and Russia.
Of course, talking about pre-protests situation.
- IgorPartola 13y agoSure. Yanukovych is playing for his own survival. It is important to remember that he is NOT doing anything for the people unless it helps him personally. If the Ukrainian people benefit, it's a side effect, but not a goal. He is a puppet in that Putin has lots of influence on him personally and on the Ukrainian economy in general, but I suppose you could say that he has his own agenda: to steal as much money as possible as quickly as possible and not get killed in the process.
- dfkf 13y agoYou sure know a lot about what happens inside Putin's or Yanukovich's head.. Are you their private psychologist, do you have crystall ball or you're just making this stuff up to push your agenda?
- aaronem 13y agoIt's amazing what some understanding of history can do for you. In particular, it can confer the ability to make surprisingly accurate surmises regarding the behavior of public figures.
