Trouble in paradise? More schadenfruede for me when I see Kiev reacting in exactly the same way and using the same words to justify their actions as did Yanukovich did. Why is it fine for Kiev now but it wasn't fine for Kiev 6 months ago? And not an election in sight.

Let these arrogant non-entities like Van Rompuy, Catherine Ashton, Angela Merkel or José Manuel Barroso deal with the shitstorm their stupidity and spinelessness have created.
My schadenfreude is getting a big work out too. The Australian farmers are screaming. The farmers have just realised that their socialist agrarian party has been hijacked by neo-liberal zealots they are in coalition with not to mention US lapdogs. They are desperately looking for alternative markets to take the surplus they are now stuck with but given we have pissed off almost all of the neighbours we may end up giving it all away or it being turned into dog food. No doubt to be sold to the public as a great success when and if it happens. Given that Russia has already made agreements with over 100 other countries those alternative markets may already be taken.
