They may actually -not- want western democratic capitalism....and unless eastern democratic capitalism is literally a non thing - as in non-possible, it makes little sense to couch any and every struggle towards democratic or capitalist aims as inherently western.
None of that is particularly relevant to eastern ukraine..where people just (apparently, according to them) want to stop the russians from killing them, even (and maybe especially) if that means joining the russians. That is the deal the russians are offering, at any rate. Bend the knee or die.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
