Re: DA
(Anonymous) 2014-11-13 03:08 am (UTC)(link)That's true. I'm reasonably comfortable eliding the distinction in the context of a discussion of the historical relationship between Russia and the rest of Europe, but I should have been more precise.
it was a part of Ukraine and not a whole country deciding to side with Russia, btw.
That's true, but I think my characterization of the grounds of the dispute within the Ukraine was accurate - it was a dispute, within Ukraine, about whether Ukraine should be aligned with Russia or the European Union which then deepened into a broader partisan conflict. Obviously, the whole country didn't come down on the Russia side of the issue.
Re: DA
Many didn't like the fact that the Ukraine government decided against the alignment with EU, true. I agree.
There was also a lot of tension because of a dissatisfaction with the government - corruption, difficulties for business, etc.
The part that first sided with Russia depends on the tourism. I think it played a part when they held a vote during the political unrest - they didn't want to lose profits. Tourism and revolutions don't go well together. Seems logical. Then another region voted to side with Russia... idk about that.
Anyway, I hope they'll be ok this winter in Ukraine. Warm water is kinda essential.
Re: DA
Honestly I don't have the answers here either, but from what I know the news about it in Eastern Europe vs. Western Europe is very different - i.e. - the word "war" is being used by my friends and family in Eastern Europe - in the West, it's taken a bit of a back seat in the news.
Re: DA
The media covers it quite differently. Even people in Ukraine don't agree on what's happening, other countries don't stand a chance of getting reliable news.
