#1 The question is not who did rig the votes and who not. It is who did it better. Guess Yanukovich is a better rigger.

Also, many Ukrainians think that because they can't rely on West to come to their aid, they need to look eastward, and Yanukovich may be better choice in that regard (whether they are mistaken or not is another matter). C'est la vie.

#2 Ukraine is burdened with immutable locational obsolescence. Do these results mean we can go back to calling it The Ukraine? Ukraine sounds naked. It's as if we had begun calling Argentina Argentine.

#3 We should call it Ukraina then. That is what locals call it, anyway. (pron. ookrayina)

#4 A look at the scrapping of a certain missle defense system probably shifted a whole lot of votes from the 'orange movement thing'..

#6 DAILY TIMES.PK > PRO-RUSSIA PARTY WINS UKRAINE ELECTIONS.

HMMMM, HMMMM, interesting historical turnabout centuries in the making e.g. "BACK TO THE FUTURE" > OWG-NWO = RUSSIA TAKES BACK EASTERN EUROPE = EURO-UNION; whilst the MUSLIM SARACENS finally takeover POST-CHARLES MARTEL/TOURS FRANCE, + REMAINDER OF [non-Russ]CONTINENTAL EUROPE, + LOOK FORWARD TO INVADIN' ENGLAND.

IRELAND STANDS ALONE...???
