am not really biased, neither i can't see problems in Ukraine. But You must make distinction on one flaw supported by law and another that exist contrary to law.
I don't want to derail this thread more on how democratic is Ukraine compared toward countries like Saudis or Russia. However I have to answer this because in what way there's democracy by law Ukraine to begin with, and how's that any different between that and the authoritarian oligarchy by law that exists in Saudi and Russia.
What Law that Euro Maidan has to toppled elected government, asside a coup ? What Law a democratic principle that surpress other ethnic factions Political movement using "National Security" talk, while provide Political venue for Right Wing nationalist faction that by any count is aim on ethnic and racist purity idea?
If you don't see that as a big problem for democracy development, well that's within your right. However don't try to convince everyone else that nothing wrong with Ukrainian democracy development. There's no democracy development in Ukraine at this moment, it's just another oligarchy politics. Not different with authoritarian regime.
Then again Western standard on democracy is always bias toward their Political goals. Just see the ethnic Pandora box that west entertaint in Balkan. What's the basis West continue sideline Serbs, while embracing the Albanian ? Both of them still playing ethnics cards, in fact all Balkan still playing ethnics cards. If West really want to enforce democratic values, then they should sideline all of Balkans ethnics (perhaps asside Slovenian), that includes Croatian, Bosnian, Albanian and not just the Serbs. Again because all of them still playing ethnic games that definitely not in line with democratic values.
When the West cherry picking on this type of "democracy" game, then they risk continue entertaining what's come out from this ethics Pandora box. As ethnic games got affirmation from others to be continued played out on other region. Basically the West loosing their own credibility as democracy champion.
That's my last argument on this thread for this topic. If anyone else want to continue talking how democracy standard in Ukraine, Better creating new thread. However I suggest check with the mods in here, cause that topic in the end will be very colourful.
