Appalling. Shocking. Terrible. Shooting at their own people.
I am filled with enormous admiration for the Ukrainians protesting. So courageous.
Firing on their own people, picking them off with sniper fire is outrageous. The government and Berkut are despicable.
Trouble is, the west can hardly comment without exposing their own hypocrisy. The USA supported the Saudi crushing of the democratic uprisings in Bahrain, yet when the shoe is on the other foot they want to suddenly champion democracy.
That's the trouble with geopolitics. The people with good intentions get crushed by it all.
