Am glad you wrote of Kosovo/Serbia because what’s happening in Ukraine is quite similar...........Members of this ‘new government’ have spoken of ‘ethnically-cleansing’ Russians - and even if they don’t go this far, their intent towards the Russian population is clear enough.
I think people need to understand Ukraine’s people and how they approach life in general...they don’t see or address issues as we do...it’s another culture entirely.
Additionally.....We were an ant’s hair away from nuclear showdown before in the Cuban Missil Crisis.......And what triggered that?...The deployment of NATO/US missiles into Turkey aimed at the USSR.
What defused that crisis? The agreement by the USA to withdraw such missiles. And we’re seeing this today in Ukraine.....An attempt by NATO powers (US, UK, France and Germany) to annex a state bordering the Russian federation, Ear-marked by the USA to becoming a short-range missile launch-site. .....And what will Putin do to oppose such a threat?
Truly amazing Americans cannot see through this, especially since we have such access to both sides of an issue and can find information to assess and come to conclusion of what’s really happening.
When I first watched Ukraine I couldn’t believe Nazi’s were in play and actually stated so...I was so wrong! I jumped to quick.
He will also be the first to say that California has the right to join Mexico
Anyone who thinks a vote of an occupied country to join their invader is legitimate is insane
Please, there are a few ministers from a far right party in the government, that does not make all the Ukrainians Nazis. Elections will be held soon, and we shall see what the Ukrainians are then. In the meantime, it would be nice if the Russkies refrained from butchering Ukrainians like they so want to do.

March 1st 2014. Meeting in Kharkov (Eastern Ukraine), against the illegitimate power in Kiev. One participant writes: “ Ukrainian experiment is OVER! The western Ukraine can rename itself “Republic of Bendera” and join the EU. Malorussia is with Russia!” Another writes: “The Maidan square folks in Kiev are a monument to human stupidity: thinking there would be no reaction from the half of the country that was being walked on by their activities.
They could have done it the Czech-Slovak way!”

“I think people need to understand Ukraine’s people and how they approach life in general...they don’t see or address issues as we do”
To simplify: The Western and central Ukraine are nationalists and anti-Russian, and voted overwhelmingly for I.Timoschenko (45%) in the presidential election of 2010.
The Eastern and South Ukraine are pro-Russian and anti-Maidan revolt in Kiev, who voted at 80% for Yanukovich, who won with 48.6% in 2010. They feel that Ukraine democratic elections were trampled by the nationalist mob in Kiev. 50,000 people on a place in Kiev, cannot decide for 45 million Ukrainians. Pro-Russians Storming the city administration in Kharkov the pro-Maidan are chased from the place:
