Ukraine is an East Slav country that is majority Orthodox just like Russia. I dont see why its so unusual Russia would want to have great influence there. I just dont see the danger of Russia trying for global domination anytime soon. There are way too many economic and demographic problems to sort out. It may become a regional power once again which is ok as long as it brings stability.

Soros is doing the bidding of the EU as I see it. The EU is the enemy of a free USA and a free Russia as I see it. They are a combination of fascism and communism and they really like islamics.

Not to mention that most Ukrainians and Russians are ethnically indistinguishable and mutually intelligible, and most "Ukrainians" are people who identify with the common Russian heritage but live in the "South", called the Ukraine, just like millions live elsewhere. Every person I know who is from the Ukraine says they are Russian FROM the Ukraine.

Dick Morris sounds like Stanislav Lunaticev here.

Just in the past month, we have heard accusations that elections in two major countries (USA and Ukraine) must have been fraudulent because the "exit polls" showed the loser ahead. Who cares about exit polls except those who use the supposed news to try to influence perceptions?

Allow me to correct you. Ukraine has a large East Slav minority due to all the East Slavs who moved there during the Soviet Union days. However, prior to that Ukraine had more in common with Poland and Czechoslovakia. My own grandmother was born there, a God fearing Roman Catholic from a family of 11, 8 of whom stayed there and by now, I've got probably 100 cousins there as a result. Final note, during the days of the Polish-Lithuanian Empire, most of what is now Ukraine was consumed within that particular state.
