secretary of state john kerry well live now to daniel mcadams he's executive director at the ron paul institute so why would the likes of john kerry and indeed top diplomats from the interest in talking to the opposition there in munich what's in it for them why is ukraine of such importance. well what's interesting is after the meeting between opposition leader vitelli klitschko and john kerry the ukrainian opposition leader said that kerry told them that we are with the opposition we give them our full support kerry also said that the president has not done enough in his reforms and has us even called for a change in the constitution of ukraine but then at the same time he says he warned against meddling by outside powers in ukraine's internal affairs so there's an absolute disconnect in in us foreign policy and i think anyone who's paying attention notices it is a disconnect among the opposition and ukraine too isn't there because john kerry is talking about talking with an opposition does he know who they are and by what rights to see have any authority to to to undermine a legiti

see here in this picture well let's talk more about what's happening there in ukraine with daniel mcadams he's head of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity that the e.u. is really putting pressure now on kiev do you think that this further intervention could perhaps ease the deadlock there no i think the further intervention will make things worse the reason why the protesters if that's what they are to be called have become more radicalized is because they have been encouraged all along by e.u. and american politicians who have been on the ground in the middle of the protests encouraging them and that's simply unprecedented it's unprecedented interference in the in a sovereign nation and maybe there are two million people in kiev and maybe some percentage of them are protesting but there are another forty million people in ukraine how was it how was it was there any democratic legitimacy. to have a mob on the streets demanding new elections it's really got ugly hasn't it in the last day or so two people confirmed dead over two hundred injured who's to blame for the violence fr

secretary of state john kerry well earlier i spoke to daniel mcadams he's the executive director of the ron paul institute and he says washington support for ukraine's opposition is bordering on the offensive. by what rights to see have any authority to to to undermine a legitimately elected government in tell the president of this country what he should or should not do you know what's really funny because the us is the us state department released something yesterday a statement yesterday saying that ukraine needs to move more toward a parliamentary system instead of the strong presidential system and this is the same week that president obama in a state of the union address said well if congress doesn't go along with with my with these laws that i plan to pass i'm going to start ruling by executive order so it's it's quite ironic is there a united opposition as john kerry said he's going to support it if you're a covert he does perhaps go in the long term is there a credible opposition to replace him. well certainly you see you know there's a debate as to whether the people on the st

here meanwhile western governments have been placing the blame soley on the authorities don't know mcadams from the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity says their comments are not helping the situation. reason why the protesters if that's what they are to be called have become more radicalized it's because they've been encouraged all along by e.u. and american politicians who have been on the ground in the middle of the protests encouraging them and that's simply unprecedented it's unprecedented interference in the in the sovereign nation and it's all blamed on this new protest law and this protest law is virtually identical to any law you would see here in the united states for example you're not allowed i'm here in d.c. you're not allowed to wear a mask at a protest in washington d.c. you're not allowed to erect a tent you saw what happened to the occupy protests violently torn down you're not allowed to have foreign funding of your political organization here in the u.s. it's illegal in poland one of the most arrogant of the countries interfering in ukraine condemning this new l
