Ukraine’s parliament has ratified a new naval base agreement with Russia despite the opposition’s resistance. The vote was mired with a fistfight, smoke bombs and hooliganism.
People like this think that they are fit to run a country?
I think it is wonderful how "spontaneous" this all appeared. Somebody just coincidentally happened to have a huge flag in his pocket? Wow, how convenient. Looks like they all had fun, though. I hope no eggs hit those expensive cameras on the side of the room. Ukraine parliament movies are much more interesting than the British House of Commons.
The Ukraine nationalists ridiculously portrayed by the west for so long as "champions of democracy" are showing their true colours, that they do not, never have and never will believe in democracy, progress and stability, and these childich antics prove that theory
gone are the days for power show and revulutions in Ukraine. MPs are democratically elected rep. and the outcome of any voting should be respected. those who threw eggs and smoke bombs are sore losers, (2-0). the people in Sevastopol were celebrating the deal, why should west Ukraine decide for the East how to live?
A good healthy democarcy!
I guess the eastern Ukrainians prefer a basket case for a country. At least Yanukovich is constructive. A discount on gas will help them immensely. Cooperation with Russia will help them too. Europe is a basket case with severe debt problems, why join up with them? What do they have to offer?
Ukraine economy is in a dire stride as a consequence of leaning to the West who only see Ukraine as a strategic buffer zone against Russia and don’t give a dam about Ukrainian people. Well, the days of romance flirting with the West are gone forever as real life requires food on the table and cloths for the children and the only way it can be achieved is by having sustainable household budget, not credit cards reliance. The nationalists who throw eggs at the speaker were directing Ukraine on the Greece’s path without any concern for their fellow citizens what they will feed their children with. What else can one expect from radical nationalists anyway driven by their sadistic nature?
There was no translation in the story. What were they so upset about? Where did those umbrellas appear from? Are they standard issue? There are many unanswered questions! But a very rare scene really!
The so-called "opposition" did nto want this deal because they themselves planned on giving sevastopol to NATO.
