Yanukovch brings the Ukraine to it's knees

What do Viktor Yanukovych, Saddam Hussein, Mohammed Morsi, Bashir Al-Asad and Hitler have in common?  It's simple, they were or are all power crazy in their own way.  Two are dead, one has absconded, one is in jail and one is still in power. It seems democracy doesn't rule when a country's ruler decides the people under them are nothing more than pawns. However, we see Al-Asad doing his best to play of different nations against each other so he can stay in power.  Whilst unfortunately Victor Yanukovych ran away like a frightened little girl who had been just spooked the three bares and greedily ate all their porridge.  Fortunately for the people of the Ukraine they have formed an interim parliament, unfortunately for them it looks like Putin has now decided to get involved in the game. Perhaps Putin was impressed by Yanukovych's wonderful home, the one with the replica Spanish galleon.  Most of the Ukrainian people didn't like Yanukovych's penchant for corruption, which had permeated through their society.  Further they want to move more towards Europe, whilst he has his sight set on Russia.  Like Al-Asad, Yanukovych to has played off different minority groupings in order to help justify his rule.  As the old adage goes, "divide and conquer" which is certainly what he has done. Although he ran away like a little girl he has found a big brother in the form of Putin.  The problem is Putin is not just a big brother he is a giant and already he is now starting to make his move on the Ukraine again.  It is another power play.  If his friend Yanny wasn't so greedy and wasn't so corrupt he would not be in this position. The reality for Europe is they will not get involved because it is too impracticable, certainly at a military level there is nothing they can do.  The Ukraine could just of found it is now going to be in a fight with Putin.  They may not of liked the corruption, but now their lives could be on the line. Depending on what hostility they show.

So democracy is a freedom in itself, and some people such as Al-Asad and Yanukovych don't know the definition. Unless they happen to think it is something related to fine wine sipped in a Spanish Galleon.  Of course like the greats villains of the world Yanukovych may find he'll one day be in the dock of a war tribunal.
