You mean, like in Kosovo? Wasn't the West's main excuse to steal Kosovo from Serbia that most of the population was of Albanian origin? I fail to see how the West, having set such a precedent, can justify that Crimea is such an integral part of Ukraine, when most of its inhabitants are Russian.

But this is not about justice, fairness or anything. This is just hardcore geopolitics. Done in the same childish and short-sighted way as always. Putting fanatics in power in a Russia-satellite country to piss off the Russians... when have you last heard of such a move? Let me give you a hint, it usually blows right back in your face.

Don't worry, if the good people are being fired or leaving, it's just a matter of time until the whole shithouse comes crumbling down.

Of course, the psychopath who caused the problem will not be blamed he will just be promoted or transferred to another cushy job.

Start looking for another job, as soon as possible.

What you wrote doesn't make any sense, it's just uninformed speculation and wishful thinking. The Castro brothers are precisely the ones leading the reforms in Cuba.

As to Russia and China, I fail to see the correlation between Internet access and change of government. The Russian government is in a Medieval conservative rampage, with little opposition. And the Chinese regime enjoys widespread support among the population.

The problem comes in incentives in the form of subsidies to keep people at the WalMart level.

So, now the incentives are to blame? You are seeing it upside down. If people that will never be able to rise above Walmart level could make a living wage, those subsidies would not be needed.
