(sigh) This thread has been torture! Do you or do you not have evidence that the popularly elected gov of Ukraine are "neo-nazis"? It's a simple question!
To add that my post specifically pointed to the role of the Parliament which, to my knowledge, was not illegitimate and certainly not into the hands " of nazis" and "thugs who murder people". I asked him whether he was aware that the Ukrainian Parliament was part of a legitimate government as the legislative branch of the government. He did not address it.
It appears Thief of Fire is not that informed about which institutions constitute a government. Clearly, he was to reflect whether the removal of the head of the executive branch of the government implies that the legislative branch is then illegitimate. What I am observing here is avoidance on his part. And of course no documentation that somehow the Parliament or legislative branch of the government was in the hands of "thugs murdering people" and "nazis". I even wonder whether he was aware that the Parliament had voted to prompt presidential elections to be held in May.
His counter claim to my initial contention that Russia violated Article 6 of the Treaty of partition was to rehash that the "Government was illegitimate". He has yet to address my challenging his counter claim as I have clearly pointed to the legitimacy of the legislative branch of the Ukrainian government. Clearly, I have also questioned how his claims (clearly quoted) of "thugs murdering people" and "nazis" apply to the members of the Ukrainian parliament, again the legislative branch of the government.
It is indeed Thief Of Fire's responsibility to address the challenges I presented in my post rather than his persistent dismissal.
