Hello Mr Lucas, it's nice to have you here. I have read your earlier book, The New Cold War and have really enjoyed it.

You have probably found out by now, that the hivemind of reddit, as it is called, has a clearly expressed tendency to support Snowden. Just wanted to tell that I have read your recent piece in The Telegraph. I agree with you, absolutely.

Also, thank you for supporting Lithuania and other Baltic states since our independence. And also for current support of the revolution in Ukraine. Guys here probably do not know this, but you are respected a lot for your strong anti-totalitarian opinions and for defending democracy and human rights.

I mainly wanted to use the opportunity to say thanks, but /u/Zeitgeistalt has a point, and I do have a question. It actually is about Ukraine, as I have noticed that Mr Lucas is closely following the current situation there.

Mr Lucas, in your opinion, is it still possible for Ukrainian protesters to topple the regime and succeed in reversing the political course back to European direction without disintegrating the country? How likely would that be?

I also have a question which is not really related to your new book. In my opinion, events that are currently happening in Ukraine will have huge long-term consequences for many countries.
