"Now please look at Yu gang: Yulia Timoshenko is under trial for heavy crimes, and now that silly ***** calls people to violence and overthrowing the democratically-elected authorities."
OK, so i could conclude it that way right?
Ya, was prisoned two times, the documentation of it dissapeared in a mysterious way, but you havn't said what was the reason of the penalty he got, so i can assume that it was not a "politica" thing... He just is a criminal
now,
Timoshenko is under trial for havey crimes - never heard of it, and glad you said that. Prolly would not heard of it in our news, but there are two things - udner trial does not mean she's guilty and other, can you tell me what havy crimes that are?
As for the "calls people to violence and overthrowing the democratically-elected authorities." part - as far as i see, people there are protesting in a friendly way, they are not hunting them oposition down on the streets. i would not call it a violence! but you are right about the thing, that they are against the elected president. At this point i would never call that elections a democratic ones, but me, you or anyone here can't be the judge about it. We can have our doubts but none of us were there and seen any violations.
It's pretty similar to what we had here with Solidarity - they were called Criminals by the Soviet and Polish goverments... and our giverment was nothing more then a Soviet govermant we had here. Without the Solidarity, Walesa and the protests we had here, we would never be where we are now, and believe be we are happy to have what we have
So i really understand people who are trying to do everything that's possible for them, to have a better life. sorry to say it, but at this point i think that noone except Europe can offer them a better life.
I can't say if after what's going to happened over there EU will screw them or not, but still that's what i think.
As for the "Keep watching TV" sentence - do you believe your TV will showing you the truth?
