"Now the EU representatives will
have to answer some very difficult questions from television viewers
back home. Such as: “Why are the people waving EU flags wearing
Nazi emblems? Are we supporting Nazis?” or “If they are peaceful, then
why are they
throwing Molotov cocktails at policemen and taking them hostage?”... And how about this one:
“What makes you think that the five Ukrainian nuclear power plants
will remain safe if the country falls into chaos?” Just one more, but
it's a doosie: “If Ukraine becomes ungovernable, how are we going to get
our fix of Russian natural gas next winter? Are we going to freeze to
death?” ... More importantly, what about the average
Russian, who is used to thinking that “nothing can be done” but
is now seeing right on his television screen how for three months now
special forces, armed to the teeth, haven't been able to do much of
anything to put down a ragtag mob of provincials? Thoughts are
starting to course through his brain—dangerous thoughts. And the
average Belarussian is even further ahead in his thinking ... The
Americans and the Brits are also in shock. They couldn't possibly
care any less about the sufferings of the Ukrainian aborigines. All
they care about is that Russia doesn't grow stronger. Until recently
Yanukovych seemed like a pleasant sort of dictator—not too
accommodating toward the Russians, and willing to talk business with
the West, about shale gas and other natural resources in particular.
But now there's a bloody mess, with Molotov cocktails, troop carriers
on fire, catapults, snipers... They could dismiss Yanukovych, but
then who would honor all the agreements and contracts he has signed?
And who will they talk business with? The guerilla warrior nationalists
from The Right Sector? The club-wielding Cossacks? And
what if the Russians achieve some kind of breakthrough, absorb
Russian-speaking Eastern Ukraine into the Russian Federation, and grow
even stronger? ... So, who isn't in shock? I saw him today on
Independence Square: a Cossack dressed in national garb, who, with a
smile on his face, was marching off to skirmish with the special
forces. In one hand he held a shield with “Glory to Ukraine”
written on it, and in the other a frighteningly big club. He was
singing a patriotic song. It occurred to me that this man isn't
bothered by questions such as “How will I get home tonight?” or
“What if something happens to me?” or “What is going to happen
to us all?” He isn't in shock. He no longer gives a damn, bless him."
