A Tale of Two Protests: Ukraine and Thailand | Global Research:

 When last looking at these two protests, one in Eastern Europe’s Ukraine, and another in Southeast Asia’s Thailand, it was concluded that:

It is more than mere fascist ideology that attracts the West to Svoboda in Ukraine and the regime of Thaksin Shinawatra in Thailand – it is each group’s willingness to make vast economic, social, and political concessions to the corporate-financier interests of the West in exchange for political power built upon foreign-funding, favorable news coverage in the Western press, and “appearances” by figures like John McCain to lend them legitimacy and drive they themselves lack. The forces opposed to them may not be perfect, but by comparison, and for the sake of both Ukraine and Thailand’s future and the many otherwise unprotected minorities that reside there, they are the best alternatives.

Since then, in Ukraine, protests have stalled with a violent clash this week the result of what the Western media is calling “frustration.” Ukrainian police once again responded with restraint.
