My answer: because the current Ukrainian regime is the product of an anti-democratic riot that installed Kiev's and the U.S. State Department's preferred candidate as interim leader over the democratically elected pro-Russia, ethnic Russian Yanukovich. Since that time they have not had a single election that included the winners of their last free election (the eastern provinces' departure from the democratic process is a direct reaction to Kiev's refusal to let them win a fair election), have declared two out of three presidents to be traitors against the post-revolution regime, and have waged war against the winners of the last free election to prevent them being a Taiwan-style rump state of the previous Ukrainian regime. The current regime possesses neither a democratic nor a moral mandate.

The current Ukrainian regime is the brainchild of two groups, both of which I oppose. Obama's State Department's fantasies of reversing the domino theory are insane, meaning toppling Russia's allies one by one until they could do the same to Russia, while an intelligence officer leading a nuclear superpower just sits there and waits as they lower the noose around his neck. And a precedent that the population of the capital city should possess a rioter's veto over any election is an existential threat to conservatism in many countries, whose capitals attract leftists like crumbs attract cockroaches.

I will now read the article to see what bullshit they are claiming.
