The Ukraine is wide open to an alternative society....A major uprising is just waiting to be ignited....The fuel of discontent is in place....somebody or something will change the face of Politics forever in the Ukraine...With corruption at the very top filtering down...only Cutting the Head of the Snake off first will ensure the body will die...The present generation of corrupt public servants and officials must be given an immediate amnesty....and any further corruption punished by forfeiting their life...Elect me as a Dictator for a year and I will give you a Democracy in 12 months.Only those who care for each other will survive!
