federation. plan a. when i was listening to the russian ambassador earlier this afternoon, what i gleam from that listening to the russian ambassador, it s almost like putin promised for yanukovych to maintain power there and that didn t happen so now he s sort of stepping up how he s backing yanukovych, displaying his disdain for what he s calling the illegal removal of yanukovych. yeah. well, i think it highlights why this is a struggle of pure power and all of the platitudes about international law and what not that were being discussed at the united nations security council this afternoon are words that putin will now use against the nationalist ukrainians. for example, it s not a
violation of anybody s sovereignty or territorial integrity if your military is not invited in by the legitimate government. so who is the legitimate government of ukraine? is it yanukovych, as the russians are claiming, or the interim government in kiev. if yanukovych invites russian troops in, let s call them peacekeepers, then under the russian theory there won t be any violation of territorial integrity or sovereignty. but yanukovych, we don t even know where he is right now. he s not in power because he sr. so it is the temporary government. listen, if bandits overthrow a legitimate government, that doesn t make the government illegitimate. all you re hearing now are words from diplomats. the europeans are outraged about what is happening in ukraine. five years after the europeans rejected the bush administration s suggestion to bring ukraine and georgia on a clear path to nato membership,
