Don't Compare Ukraine With Greece With Regard to the IMF Bail-Out; A First Year University Student Sould Know That.

It's really shocking, when i see or hear someone compares current situation in Ukraine with Greece and claims that the IMF can use Greece example and gain success in Ukraine as well. Such a shallow comparison is a clear example of mirror-imaging; it is totally wrong. The only similarity between these two countries is that both were/ are on the verge of bankruptcy and nothing else. Do these two countries have the same political structure? Do these two countries have the same historical background? Do these countries have the same geographical position in the international arena? Do these countries have the same socio-economic characteristics? Do these two countries have the same homogeneous population? Do these two countries have the same geopolitical position in the international arena? Do these two countries have the same relationship with one or two or more superpowers at the regional and global level? and hundreds more similar questions.

I'm wondering, those, who claim such a unrealistic claim have any academic background; where these so-called "experts" have graduated; based on what type of qualification they have occupied such an important job, etc. Because, a first year student in some subject such as Political Science, International Development or International Relations should understand that such a comparison is completely wrong.
