The Ukraine: HOW TO STEAL A COUNTRY

RALPH PETERS of NY Post gives us a good rundown on Ukrainian history, and the present election fiasco that could rob the people of democracy.//JW sends.

UKRAINE remains an independent state. For now. But last week's shamelessly rigged presidential-election results were engineered by Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin's security services.
