The Soviet Union didn't fall - the SSR leaders dismantled it. The Governors in the U.S. could do the samething with the Federal Government.
As per the ethnic uprisings - I agree U.S. had limited impact. IIRC, Finland funded the singing revolution (google it) in the Baltic States, so there's a scapegoat if you need one.

Though that article is strong-worded, does it nowhere point out the source that Russia threatened Estonia in any way. If anything this new wave of hysteria comes from Hillary Clinton's lips. As for how Estonia treats its Russian-speaking population... Have you hear the term "niggers"? This bitter term is a play on the word "non-citizens" ( нeгpaждaнe), applied to the Russian population of Estonia, who are denied citizenship and thus any human rights. If anyone is to be compared to Hitler, it's the Estonian government, who are not far from starting physically branding Russian population. David's star, anyone?

Of course this couldn't be an excuse for what they are doing with human rights, but their problem is that Estonians are becoming extinct as the nation. Just compare an official statistics from 1990s to the present days... Estonians population is decreasing constantly. If this will continue then 40-50 years later Estonia will be turned into one big cementary.

Ukraine expects to increase domestic gas prices by 40% once discounted import prices from Russia expire, the country’s Energy Minister Yury Prodan told journalists in the European Parliament on Thursday. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-20/honeymoon-over-ukraine-stun-citizens-40-gas-price-hikeso who keeps the 10% ? if the price gets up 40% and the russian discount was 30% who pocket the difference ?

Soviet Union fell apart because of an oversized war machine, where most of country's production went towards feeding that beast Soviet Union collapsed after the crude oil prices nosedived. Don't invent any new theories.

The Indians also would have been the natural majority of the US, if they were not killed off by the colonists.
Not true. Over 90% of the natives died as a result of a plague brought by the first explorers, way before most of the settlers got here. It was a literal apocalypse: http://www.cracked.com/article_19864_6-ridiculous-lies-you-believe-about-founding-america.htmlPlus, as I mentioned earlier, the term "Ukraine" means "on the border", "on the edge", which explains that map pretty well - the territories on the Southern borders/edge of what was Keiv Rus, and became Russia, with time stated to be referred to as Укpaинa ("Ukraina"). Not to put down Ukrainians, in Russian there is an everyday derived word, oкpaинa ("okraina"), which means "outskirts", "suburbs".
It didn't become Russia. Russia and Ukraine have been separate countries for a very long time. Yes, in Russian there is a work "okraina" whic means "outskirts," but in Ukrainian there is a word "kraina," which means "country." I suspect Russians have been trying to turn "Ukraina" into something similar to "okraina" for quite some time, but that's not the meaning. Also, when Kievan Rus broke apart in 12th century, Russia was still fairly far away, as a separate country. Only time Kiev or it's borders were considered part of Russia or Poland was when Ukraine was temporarily conquered by them. Otherwise it was still a separate country, before and after (and now). I'm sure Russia would love to clam that Ukraine is just a borderland of their own territory, and take it "back" as it had it under USSR, but, no thanks :/ Ukrainian Nationalists ... the thugs they are
Yeah, fuck those people who want to have their own country and not be ruled by foreign theocratic dictators!

Not true. Over 90% of the natives died as a result of a plague brought by the first explorers, way before most of the settlers got here. What load of BS? It was the colonists who deliberately spread smallpox and plague to exterminate the natives. A total of 2,100,000 Indians lived in the US when the colonizers first arrived. The population steadily declined as follows: (Source: Thorton, Russel (1990). American Indian holocaust and survival: a population history since 1492) 1700: 1,500,000 1800: 600,000 1890: 250,000 After 1890, the population slowly increased due to access to quality medicare and now the population stands at around 2 million.

I'm sure Russia would love to clam that Ukraine is just a borderland of their own territory, and take it "back" as it had it under USSR, but, no thanks :/ No one is planning on taking Ukraina anywhere and turning it into "okraina" (sorry, forgot about the US/EU plans there for a second). As for the word games (word history), true, interpretations can vary to suite the needs of the moment. By the way, Russian has a word "kraj", which has two meanings: both "edge" and "place" (as in "rodnoj kraj" - "home place"). You are also right in that Ukraina didn't become Russia, it never seized being it, though the political "elite" tugged and drew people populating these lands in different directions. Still, when people speak of "the mother of all Russian towns", they don't mean Moskva, then mean Kiev. Soviet Union fell apart because of an oversized war machine, where most of country's production went towards feeding that beast Soviet Union collapsed after the crude oil prices nosedived. Don't invent any new theories. I am not inventing a new theory, I am stating the obvious. The oil prices were the death knell, yet over-the-top spendings in the military sector, coupled with total neglect for people's needs (deficit ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ) over a prolonged period of time created a tension that was waiting for a trigger factor. You should stop trying to teach real history to those whose minds have been infected with rivionist history.
Who give you the monopoly for real history? I don't want any brainwashed Americans to teach me history. Well, non-native Americans seem to think that they have an exclusive right to the history of the land they are living on. They also seem to think that they have an exclusive right to the history of native Slavic people of Eastern and Central Europe. Oh, the irony. In minor news: - VISA and MasterCard stopped without any explanations payment processing for people who use two banks whose owners ended up on the sanctions list. (Now we know that VISA and MasterCasrd are owned by the same people who in tern are owned by the Western governments) - http://rt.com/news/eu-sanctions-russia-ukraine-197/ (Merkel starts sounding desperate)
