Anyone that thinks Russian operatives weren’t on the ground in the Ukraine, should rethink this issue. Okay, perhaps the West was hip deep in it. They wanted the Ukraine to align with the West economically, and Russian wanted it the other way around.

Did the E.U. line up troops on the Ukraine’s borders when the president favored Russia? Did the E.U. invade Russian space and annex it?

Did the E.U. demand the Ukraine split?

Sorry, I feel very little respect for Russia in all this.

Vlad can play innocent all he wants, and folks can damn the politics and protests all on the Ukraine and the West if they want. There is no equity here, when you get down to it.

Russia has been threatening military intervention. It already annexed Crimea. I’m not feeling all the love some folks are toward Russia.

I think it's likely they'll annex, in some form, all of Eastern and Southern Ukraine to Odessa (Russian built that city from the first spade of dirt onward) and into Transwhatever.

They'd be crazy not to.

Obamalini’s administration and the EU were the force behind the initial coup, which got all of this going.
