The U.S. owes nothing to Ukraine. Whatever money is put in there will be stolen, just like in Iraq and Afghanistan.

$16 Trillion in debt is enough.

“The West” owes nothing. Ukraine’s neighbors (the U.S. is not one) can feel free to step in and help their neighbor if they desire.
“The West” needs to mind its own collective business. Every time (EVERY TIME) “The West” gets involved, another dictator takes the reigns. “The West” (especially the United States) needs to let Ukraine and every other country sort out their own damn problems.

We owe it to ourselves to not light off WWIII by injecting ourselves into Russia’s backyard, and a former Soviet state.

The spark that began the revolution was something called Europe: a trade agreement with the European Union that many Ukrainians saw as a chance to enter a world of free trade rather than government syndicates, and the rule of law rather than overwhelming corruption

LOL. The Ukrainians should have looked to Spain, Greece, Hungry, and Cyprus to see what happens when a country hands over its sovereignty to the sodomite EU.

Sure. Turn the whole thing over to Kerry’s State Department. Do we really hate the Ukrainians that much?

I don’t anything that comes from CNN or this professor, but when they said students, and then Afghans, my tin foil antennas started twitching...something smells like community organizing. Plus, what happened to all that gold in the palace? The president escaped in a helicopter. Tons of it? Why do they need an infusion of cash?

The Great rule of conduct for us,
in regard to foreign Nations
is in extending our commercial relations
to have with them as little political connection as possible.
So far as we have already formed engagements
let them be fulfilled, with perfect good faith.
Here let us stop. . . .
George Washington on Foreign Affairs September 19, 1796

Our so-called leader should be more concerned about Venezuela then the Ukraine but he’s Hugo Chivez’s lover.

Free Trade?

Is THAT what they saw?

How about Gay “Rights”?

How about Muslims taking over your major cities?

How about economic collapse?

How about destruction of Christianity?

The EU should die - as quickly as possible.

I see Ukranian Nazis fighting ethnic Russian nazis fighting Communists.

Can’t say I care who wins.

The only time the media dropped the ball on the “revolution” word when it was fully appropriate was when Barry was sworn in.

What we owe the Ukranians is thanks for giving us a preview of how events are likely to unfold here in the USA. Substitute “Obama” for “Yanukovych” and “Xi Jinping” for “Vladimir Putin”. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you!

Let the two countries break themselves up into East and West:

give Russia the entry to a port on the Black Sea, let the Easterners have entry to a port on the Black sea, then have the ability to run their own country. Allow cross border immigration across the new border for ten years

Gee, maybe I should write to John “effin” with my settlement.

Where does one find truth in an article written by a leftist Yale professor for one of the premier neo-Nazi propaganda media outlets called CNN?

The Ukraine has a tremendous wealth of natural resources, mining and manufacturing industries, and agricultural industries.

They owe it to themselves to be self-sufficient. The rest of the world needs to mind their own business.
