It doesn't help that Muslim clerics in the UK act like total douchebags and cry "shariah for everyone" all the time. The guy who killed Lee Rigby was a numerous rallies for Choudery, a Muslim radical. It polarized the right wingers. It also made the "on the fence" people start siding with them cause they realized that liberal progressives preaching "multiculturalism" haven't a clue. Multiculturalism only works when all the cultures believe in it. It's painfully obvious that vast amount of Muslims, not just the few radicals, support shariah, a anti-multicultural theocratic system of law.
But as for Ukraine. I'm not sure if this election changes anything. Russian speaking Ukrainians are already being ostracized. Some of it by their own doing. And some of it being done to them by right wing nationalist. As soon as the overthrow of their elected Prime Minister happened, the Russian Ukrainians ran to Putin and Russia for help. Crimea was the easiest to fall cause the territory itself was almost a separated autonomous region filled with primarily Russian sympathizers. In Eastern Ukraine the lines are more blurred.
I still see eastern Ukraine as an eventual separate state. EU and US won't like it, but tough tooties. They don't have to live there. Russian speaking Ukrainians do. And they should have the right to choose what they want for themselves. Even if it's running to a sinister man like Putin.
Honestly, after reading the story of East Timor, among many other atrocities the US has been involved in, I don't know who's more sinister anymore.
