I don’t need your clue. I make no argument that the territorial borders of Russia are inviolable nor I do claim that Putin would be willing to let,say, Chechnya go, even though Russia would be far better off without it. What I do say is that if a region that has been made subject to one governmental unit prefers to be subject to another, they should be allowed to switch. I am certainly not willing to be taxed or to see Americans killed for the purpose of keeping Slaviansk, for example, subject to the government in Kiev that was installed by a coup.

What you don’t get is ignoring the situation does not make it better. Events are spiraling out of control in Ukraine due to months of state sponsored terrorism by Russia. There was no unrest in E. Ukraine until Russian Green Men arrived.
Russia needs to GTFO out of Ukraine before other foreign nationals decide to join them on Ukraine’s side. Say Latvian citizens decide to send an international brigade to fight the Russians or their proxies in Ukraine. Then Putin bombs a NATO country. Boom. Huge regional war at a minimum. A large war in Europe will give a big economic hit to the US. Putin must stop his adventures. Period.
