Ukraine is becoming a very interesting case study. East Ukraine wants to go Crimea way. One openly sees huge armory and tanks and foot soldiers ready to take over against the Ukraine army. Now, whether it is with Russian support or without the support, but Ukraine is showing signs of being another Yugoslavia.
Ukraine PM should send truck loads of Vodka and truck loads of hard cash to the region and follow it with the last leaders and senators from that area to open a dialogue with the separatist element. But, what it is actually doing is sending anti terrorist forces, Ukrainian army to fight the rebels etc. I reckon Syria should be fresh in mind of everyone. And in this case the Big Bully is sitting next door to make sure that the rebels win.If the leadership has any sense, they should immediately withdraw the threatening position against the rebels and offer them special status , atleast for the time being. Sending NATO or other forces is going to have a very negative impact. The peacekeeping forces from Africa should be taken and deployed and not from any other continent. It is about Trust Building at this time.
It is a pity that a country chooses to break up on basis of ethnicity and language. However, I am a little surprised that the Russian influence is still very strong in many of the ex USSR states. Capitalism has not shown the clear improvements in the lives of people and most feel that they will never be the same as the developed EU countries.
EU is partly to be blamed for it. Unless they heavily invest and atleast into the education system or Universities in these countries, the thought process of basic capitalism is not trickling down correctly. We have already seen in China, that the western education and western model of management was something, which automatically changed the whole landscape of the country. The nation is now one clear case of rags to riches in the last 3 decades. Same model has to be replicated in most of these countries.
The advantage of most of these countries is the small population and 100% literacy level. Only that the opportunities and global skills are missing.
Hope semblance of order returns to Ukraine and Vodka flows freely.
