Prayers, prayers for the people in Ukraine.
Sounds like he has conceded the Crimea once and for all. Perhaps I misunderstand and/or the translation if not accurate.
I love the Christian underpinnings of his argument.
I think Russia is uniting Europe against Putin.
God save Ukraine!
I think America has overthrown an elected leader again. It’s been working out so well, lets keep doing it.
There is a reason why Eastern Ukrainians speak Russian.
Yeah. Because Russia occupied that area for about 300 years, suppressed the language and culture and brought in ethnic Russians when they starved and deported the Ukrainians living there.
Russia will roll in and take the east and south of Ukraine...simply no contest against the pitiful Ukraine army.
Western Ukraine will implode and become nothing but a hopeless basket case surviving on handouts from the US taxpayers.
Russia will warn against the western part of Ukraine joining EU or allowing any foreign forces to be placed on their soil.... they will comply.
If EU gives Russia a hard time they will pay through the nose for less gas than they need to survive. The gas ration will be cut but the income for Russia will increase. This is what happens when you let enviroweenies get you into such a dependent state.
Of course, it is possible that an incompetent like Obama will do something stupid. If he does, Russia and China will retaliate by sinking the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Then we will all be dirt poor and pitiful :-( We are not in good shape financially. OR it could mean WW3
These are the things that will happen..they are not what I wish for. I wish we had stayed out of Ukraine’s affairs. None of this would be happening.
So allowing Eastern Ukrainians the vote on separating from Ukraine should be a shoe in to unite Ukraine. We stand for Democracy, lets show our support.
Yeah the time to have stayed out of Ukrainian affairs was when we talked them into surrendering the 3 rd largest nuclear arsenal on the planet based on OUR guarantees.
Sure. Just get all the Spetznaz and Russian agents out and we can discus it.
They were/are too unstable to have a large portion of the old USSR’s nuclear arsenal. That is why we wanted them out of Ukraine.
We had the option of sending election observers to Crimea. The US decided they didn’t have the right to hold elections and so we didn’t send observers.
Yeah, because the referendum was so wonderful. The “Prime Minister,” by the way, was a member of a fringe party with only 3 members. He became PM by walking into the Crimean Rada followed by guys carrying machine guns and grenade launchers, and then having a “vote,” and miraculously getting ‘yea’ votes from members of the rada who were not even present. Then the vote itself, which took place under the watchful gaze of Russia’s SS, with people getting carried off and beaten, one or two people’s bodies being found tortured and executed out in the forest, was accomplished through child voting, pre-filled in ballots, and total control of the media.
Yeah that’s democracy Russia style!
I think Stalin murdered 10 million Ukrainians during holmodor.
I don’t think Putin will find the world receptive to this latest expansion. His tyranny is doomed.
Russians can leave Ukraine and go back to mother Russia. No one is forcing them to stay.
So we suckered them, is that it?
Thanks for that link!
Yes, exactly...and rightly so.
Maybe because Eastern Ukrainians were not allowed to speak their own language under the Czar. And the commies imported lots of Russians speakers
This whole thing is probably a Russian false flag operation.
