In order to fully understand the "crisis" in Ukraine, we must back track a couple of years. On January 1, 2012 the Eurasion Economic Space with Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia was created (with 3 other candidates). As of August 2013, the Ukraine applied to be an observer of the Eurasion Union, which is set to begin in 2015.
The United States of America has expressed opposition towards the Eurasion Union, claiming it is "an attempt" to re-establish a type of Soviet Union. In December of 2012, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed "It's not going to be called that [USSR]. It's going to be called customs union, it will be called the Eurasion Union and all of that, but let's make no mistake about it. We know what the goal is and
we are trying to figure out effective ways to slow down or prevent it".
However, Prime Minister of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev has stated the Union will take into the both positive and negative aspects of the European Union and will ultimately be based off of the EU. Sounds absolutely nothing like the USSR, and everything like the European Union -- right? Then why is the USA so determined to "figure out effective ways to slow down or prevent it"? Well first of all, once the Union begins the Ukraine was bound to join. This would give the Eurasion Union not only the largest military in Europe, but also the second. A Eurasion Union would eventually dismantle the European Union due to its landmass. The Eurasion Union is exactly what it says it is. Any country in Europe and Asia would be able to apply. Chinese and Russian ties could eventually lead China into the Union, and if China were to join there is a good chance India would apply to join the Union. In the end, the European Union was created for a super state, money and war hungry politicians and bankers whom have no respect for human life. The key to ending useless and senseless wars killing innocent human beings because of the war hungry "west" is to get rid of the "west".
The media is not the voice of the people. The media is the voice of propaganda.
You must always remember this.
