If this was an article with valid arguments in it, i’d have commented about that. I would want any country to adopt the Euro if it would hurt their economy or downgrade the financial means of the people there. I made that comment after learning about the fact the pro-russian opposition was behind the demonstration. Exactly because Russia has a tendency to sow unrest abroad using actual existing issues, and this article makes me believe this is the case here.
It’s very counterproductive to do this. As said, Russian propaganda is clever and doesn’t need to invent new issues, just finds ones that resonate with people. If we start going around saying something people want is wrong because there’s some connection to Russia and leave the issue unresolved, people will start voting for the only alternative they have - pro-Russia parties.
