Zenon Evans in The American Conservative: In Ukraine, All Uprisings Are Not Equal
(cc)
President Obama is stumbling out sanction after sanction against Russia while neoconservatives are striking empty poses on Ukraine. More interestingly, though, some notable advocates of limited government are defending the pro-Russian separatists in Crimea and the east, suggesting that their uprising is as valid if not more so than the pro-Western Euromaidan revolution. Zenon Evans writes that this view overlooks the real circumstances by which the revolutionaries came to power in Kiev and the separatists in Crimea, and what these different groups have done with their power.
