Precisely. The Ukrainians can do anything they want, as long, as they are not about to attack us. The point is that some people are practically rooting for a civil war and a confrontation between the US and Russia, because some exit polls ( yes, exit polls!) show that the guy who lost should have won.
Sounds familiar?
They (the "Ukes") are really about 1/3 Polish, 1/3 Russki, and 1/3 real ethnic Ukrainians. Ever see a lame 1962 movie called "TARAS BULBA"?
It is either an artificial nation or an interesting Old World melting pot. Probably more of them in Chicago than in Lvov.
In any case, I feel that the more the Russkis are divided, the better off we are.
