Will observers of rapidly evolving crises world-wide continue with their simplistic insights detached from geopolitical facts, near history and its ramifications on the rearrangement of present world order with its emerging key global and regional actors?
Hence, will some continue with their naïve argument of Ukrainians putting aside all their hardships and endangering the destiny of Ukrainians through turning the possibility of Ukraine becoming a failed state into a reality just for the sake of joining EU while overlooking the crystal clear fact of EU states one after the other suffering of bankruptcy with all the accompanying economic ailments and socio-political repercussions?
Will the scenario of armless Ukrainian protesters resisting peacefully an elected government forcing on them alliance with their neighbor and culturally connected Russia, the most eligible state to clear up Ukraine's financial mess up, find an attentive audience?
Are the Ukrainians and outsiders that disconnected from the crucial and rapidly surfacing events starting with Afghanistan and culminating in the so called Arab Spring since the demise of the Soviet Union and its replacement with Russia who is striving to revive its past glories putting an end to the short-lived hegemony of USA?
Is not USA's and its allies' resort to democracy, foremost to its key components of human rights and freedom of expression, as a means to contain if not curtail the increasing influence of Russia getting manifested at the present in Ukraine even at the expense of Ukraine's disintegration and spread of destructive anarchy ?
Haven't NGOs anew been recruited as a bridge for American and EU intervention in Ukraine's domestic affairs empowering and guiding the few to echo the will of the majority violating anew international law and undermining principles of democracy, the few whose conducts are far from being peaceful and devoid of violence?
Will Ukraine's Muslim Tatars, once allies of Nazi Germany, be recruited and empowered to further consolidate the destructive anarchy in today's Ukraine turning Ukraine yet into another scene of extremists terrorizing Eastern and Southern Ukrainians with it threatening the rim land of Russia whose heartland already suffered of terrorist attacks?
Will Russia continue to practice self-restraint while its backyard harboring one of its main fleets get in jeopardy and not mobilize its forces to safeguard its interests if not its survival itself with all possible global ramifications?
Last but surely not least, is the world truly witnessing a global peaceful awakening in favor of democracy with the USA and EU as its leading altruistic actors?
Or merely democracy together with terrorism are borrowed by those resisting the transfiguration of the world order into one of several global actors seeking and competing for areas of influence and allies with Russia as its key actor and Ukraine its recent but assuredly not the last victim?
