Ukraine...Another Day Closer To All Out Civil War And Russian Intervention[Ben's taking the day off so you no news dump.] It appears things will get worse, probably much worse, before they begin to get better in Ukraine. In his statement, [Ousted President Viktor] Yanukovych said the current government is illegitimate, and he called on the Ukrainian military to resist any orders to interfere in pro-Russian protests in eastern and southern Ukraine. Tensions in Simferopol, the capital of the Crimea, were heightened Thursday when a band of armed men seized two government buildings. The new provisional government is speaking in rather blunt terms about the economic situation the country is facing. The Maidan council - made up of protester groups and activists - announced its nominations at a big gathering of protesters at the camp, which is spread over Kiev's Independence Square. For the record, "Hell" is a term most political leaders tend to avoid when discussing their country's financial situation. But impending civil war and foreign military intervention tends to make investors nervous about the economic future so they begin to pull out, which in turn leads to more instability, which helps to make civil war and foreign military intervention more likely and....you see where this is going. As for the reality of who will "win" the Ukraine, the US/EU or Russia, who has more invested in the outcome and the long term commitment to the region? Yeah. In the months to come, however, Russia will have ample opportunity to play its traditionally active role in Ukraine’s domestic politics. Even if Europe and the International Monetary Fund step forward with substantial financial help, Ukraine will still need heavily discounted Russian energy and a steady flow of commerce and investment in both directions across the Russian-Ukrainian border for the foreseeable future. That’s two crucial sources of Russian leverage with a direct impact on Ukraine’s economy. Russia will never simply surrender its influence in Ukraine. I want to hope for the best for the people of Ukraine but reality is not on their side. | Recent Comments
