The EU is a failed socialist experiment that exists to fund a huge (and hugely arrogant) bureaucracy and impose a bloodless ideological abstraction over and above the authentic nationalisms it seems to subsume. It is deeply authoritarian in that it provides no mechanism for member states to withdraw, and its super-centralist model is a prescription for tyranny if ever there was one. When a referendum is held on EU membership, and the results arent to the pro-EU side’s liking, the election is simply ignored and the Eurocrats mount yet another campaign until the right result is achieved. Good for Ukraine and Yanukovich for resisting this incipient version of the old USSR, albeit this time a creature of the West. The EU must call off their hooligans in Kiev and stay out of Ukraine’s business: and that goes double for the US, which should stay out of it (which of course it isn’t) and leave the Ukrainian people to decide their own fate.
