Message to new Ukrainian government:Not long before our 2012 elections Osama Obama whispered...yes,*whispered*...to Medevev that he wanted Vlad Putin to know that he'd be “more flexible” *after* the election.
So kiss any hopes of US help goodbye.
Only time will tell what help,if any,Europe is both willing *and* able to provide...but I wouldn't count on much there either (although I could be wrong).
