    UKRAINE: BBC TELLS THE SIMPLE STRATEGY : CUT OFF THE MONEY

    —“The business clans are the Achilles’ heels of the regime. With smart sanctions, targeting financial assets and judicious visa bans, including on members of the Yanukovych family, the West could help to break the status quo in Ukraine. Big businesses need access to European markets. Further instability will devalue their assets. Cutting off European oxygen would mean that the cost of doing business under a Yanukovych presidency would be too high. This is the main leverage that the EU and the US have.”—

    http://www.newrepublic.com/article/116655/kiev-ukraine-protests-are-vladimir-putins-worst-nightmare**THE BROKEN WINDOW THEORY, UPSIDE DOWN**

    –“If it can happen in Kiev, in other words, it can happen in Moscow.

    […] Putin sees dissent as a slippery slope. He knows the cold has never stopped a single Russian revolutionary. One day people are camping out in a snowy fountain in Moscow, the next they’ve set up camp and put up barricades in the center of town, bringing traffic to a halt, sowing chaos, and toppling the government. It is the authoritarian take on the broken windows theory, turned upside-down.”–

    My purpose in promoting the problem here in Ukraine is to advocate AGAINT endemic corruption. A free and independent Ukraine that is free of corruption, or one that is divided, is not material to me. That is a political question. The moral question is simple: the people are exploited.

    I DON”T think the collapse of the soviet union was a good thing. I do think that the collapse of world communism was a good thing. I wold love to see the collapse of world social democratic democracy next. And participate in that if I can.

    The American diplomat was not honest ENOUGH.

    The EU is a privileged, toothless, gutless, cowardly, institution without moral courage or integrity, and whose only legitimacy is its ability to unleash the american military through demonstrated moral indignation.

    “Sanctions”. Bullshit. Freeze all Ukrainian assets.

    GET US, THE U.S., OUT OF EUROPE

    I learned something simple today that should have been obvious: how to be happy with age. It’s not finding something safe, secure, and boring. That’s actually a bad dream to have. Instead, it’s constantly finding ways to add value to others’ lives.

    UKRAINE : A LESSON FOR AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARIES

    The square in Maydan has held nearly a million people, but is being manned by as few as 20,000.

    Their successes and sacrifices have encouraged people in other areas of the country to revolt.

    It is very easy to render a country ungovernable, and a government illegitimate, with a very small number of people willing to use violence and to risk life and limb for freedom.

    A small, armed, distributed population, willing to use weapons against police and military, to disrupt bureaucratic organizations from functioning under their the thin veil of legitimacy, can rapidly bring an economy to a halt.

    The status quo in any society is not an immutable force of gravity. It’s a fragile set of habits, easily disrupted. And with that disruption the veil of ignorance is lifted from the public: governments are disposable. Freedom is not.

    UKRAINE IS A TUTORIAL.

    WATCH CAREFULLY.
