What was the main demand of the Maidanites? Oh yes, to expel the a fat corrupt leader. Now, several months later it sure looks to me that they traded one fat and corrupt leader for another one. The big difference being that Yanukovich at least did not use force against his own people. Poroshenko has no such problems.
The other difference - of sorts - is, I suppose, that the western corporate media called Yanukovich an oligarch. Not so Poroshenko. He is no oligarch. He is a 'tycoon'. Same difference, of course, but one designates a bad guy, while the other is spoken with a sense of admiration for the resourcefulness of the latter.
Was there ballot rigging and/or other irregularities? Yes, probably. Does it matter? No, not at all. That big money would win the election was inevitable. That is the case in all so-called democracies, including the US, why should it be different in the Ukraine?
Timoshenko got only 12.8%. That is actually pretty good news since she clearly has had mental issues every since she was freed from Yanukovich's dungeons.
Comment: The US government has demonstrated on numerous occasions in Ukraine and elsewhere that it can readily contradict what it said earlier, facts and morals be damned, as long as that serves its agenda at the moment. This is simply another example.
