You are not thinking like a ukrainian. your thinking selfishly. and justifying your priors. (making excuses). They simply look across the border at poland, and talk to their relatives in poland and they look at the buildings built by the poles and the austrians, and they look at the slums the russians built, and they look at their history at the former moral people the russians destroyed through propaganda and distrust, and they look at the family members that the russians made ‘disappear’ and they listen to the lies russians broadcast on the media to their relatives in russia, and they watch their president destroy their military, and personal corruption (privatization of the commons) on putin’s scale, and they live with the conspiracy between the oligarchs and their puppets in government, and they realize that entry into european union means that this corruption and parasitism and russian-gangsterism (which is the russian, mongol, and boyar form of government) and they say that the only thing preventing them from tripling their standard of living, and escaping their painful poverty, is joining the EU.

They know they need rule of law. But they have not yet understood that the only way to get it is to kill enough politicians and oligarchs that there is no competition for rule of law from rule of corruption.

And anyone who says otherwise is not only a fool but a liar.
