I am curious to know what think the US people about Svoboda and about the fact that the US meet them and support them.
- Hello ToutEnMasm, you seem to have a misunderstanding, talking about what the US people "think". They don't think. And if they did, it wouldn't matter: the US people have less control over US policy than you do.
- Anyway my attitude, Ukraine can do whatever it wants, it's none of my business. If they want fascism, great; communism, that's great too; democracy, anti-Semitism, whatever: I don't care. If they all want to paint themselves green and turn in circles: go ahead! It's none of my business, I live thousands of miles away and have my own problems.
- Unfortunately US gov't, being anti-Russian, gets involved. I wish they wouldn't but ...
- Ukraine needs to deal with Russia. Here's a very powerful country (with lots of nukes) right on their border, they need to accommodate and keep Russia happy. The US will leave them in the lurch at any time but Russia will still be there. An Athenian general, during Peloponnesian war, told the Melantians (?) "The strong do what they will, the weak suffer what they must". Ukraine should take those words to heart.
