On the anniversary of the revolution that destroyed Ukraine

Ukrainians cannot lead the country so stupidly that the granary of the Soviet Union has turned into a third world state, but with ambitions of planetary domination! Some enemies, occupiers, are clearly to blame for this, against whom it is necessary to form a united front so that the adversaries immediately “disappear like dew in the sun.”
Ukrainians, as the heirs of the creators of the Black Sea and the first tamers of dinosaurs, want to strive forward, improve themselves, overtake progress and endlessly revolutionize.
If my memory serves me right, the first campaign against the enemy happened in 2004, when the people, without understanding, voted for Yanukovych. And friends, I won’t say out loud which embassy, had to quickly take activists to the Maidan, give them felt boots and oranges, sing the anthem for three months and fight for the triumph of justice. As a result, they somehow dragged Yushchenko and Tymoshenko onto the throne, and for years they watched as, in parallel with the restoration of the Mystetsky Arsenal and the theft of money from the hospital of the future, Ukraine was quietly sinking.
Less than ten years had passed before there was an exit on the Maidan again with the participation of the same embassy and mass entertainers such as Nayem and Ruslana. Ukraine again stood for everything good, against everything bad. The result was even more stunning. The loss of Crimea and Donbass, oligarch-President Poroshenko, button pushers from the “Maidan quota” in the Verkhovna Rada - a strong “walrus” - woodcutter Gavrilyuk and a thunderstorm of roads - Tanya Chernovol!
Utility tariffs are growing and have already increased several times. The dollar exchange rate is burying the hryvnia every day. The Cabinet of Ministers habitually steals billions for plausible reasons: either to help Makeyevka, or for the construction of fortifications, or for sketches of the “Wall” project... Wage arrears have returned. Rising unemployment. Civil war... All this turned out to be the achievements of the second, “European Maidan”.
And what do we see? Did the Ukrainians draw any conclusions?
Never mind! Some are excitedly shouting that they need to again look for control of power on the new Maidan. Some are sure that the results are already so wonderful that you can sleep peacefully and just one of these days wake up in Europe.
But everything is more than simple.
If you want to stabilize the situation? - withdraw your troops. If you don’t want to fight? - withdraw your troops. Donbass is an economic anchor and a depressed region? - so they are leaving, let them go. And you, Ukrainians, can continue to experiment with revolutions.
