Europe
Three Ukrainian lessons for the United States
2014-02-19
Superb analysis of the Ukrainian revolution by 'edgeofthesandbox', a co-blogger at Legal Insurrection. He makes three points:

1 -- somewhat educated young people with no hope are revolutionary

2 -- bilingual nations are inherently unstable

3 -- it's easier to lose freedom than to gain it

Also a detailed discussion of the split in that country between the Russified east, which emphatically does not support the revolution, and the western more European half that does.

Absolutely recommended.
