ОМЛЕТ? (OMELETTE?)

State-owned Russia Today has an inherent bias (despite the lovely British anchors), but no one else has posted a story set in so much context.  The quid pro quo here is a little nebulous, and closer ties with the white oppressor from the north rightfully makes many Ukrainians leery.  Let's also remember: Ukraine is in its first decade of democratic self-rule.  In our second decade of democratic self-rule, a sitting Vice President shot dead a former Treasury Secretary in a duel to resolve the latter's insult of "Cataline!"  Yulia Tymoshenko can be a bit of a sore loser, but she also knows how to work a sympathetic crowd.  Desultory Eclecticism's best guess is that sympathy for her is diminishing, and stunts like this, while popular in an ever-shrinking circle of Western supporters, do more to sully than support the nationalist cause.
