Ukraine. posted by Richard Seymour

It's been hard to know what to say about Ukraine. Yes, on the one hand, 'both sides of the divide' (to use a vile, unctuous phrase) are supported by either Russia or America. Great power politics has its sway here. But, as Dead Men Left recently argued, this should not prevent us from supporting the movement for democracy.

According to Shuggy , some on the pro-war Left have detected an eery 'silence' on this issue among the anti-war Left. Shuggy thinks it is revenge for all the jibes about the warniks silence over Fallujah - except of course that the supporters of war bear some responsibility for what happens in Fallujah, whereas the antiwar Left can't quite be held responsible for the shady election dealings in Ukraine.

At any rate, they have obviously not seen this or this .
