Frankly, I don’t think it’s all that clear whether Ukraine is better off having economic ties with Russia, or with the EU, which I think tried to screw them.

Also, I think we should be aware that George Soros is backing the rebels, and has been funding them with big bucks since last year at least.

I’m not saying we should take the other side, but I fail to see why we should get involved at all. What does Cruz propose we should do? Frankly, I don’t think this makes any sense.

Cruz doesn’t get this. There isn’t really a “good” side in this. Merceneries on both sides. Its’ complicated. Not black and white.

Cruz should not talk if he doesn’t know the facts, which obviously he does not in this case.

When you say "rebels" is that a reference to the russians or Ukrainians?

I find this situation very confusing. I'm not quite clear about the EU thing if it's good or bad for Ukraine. All I know is that russia should stay out of Ukraine. They've done enough damage to that country.

I see russia as New York City and Ukraine being Upstate New York. NYC cannot survive without Upstate New York and has imposed many laws and taken over many lands just to suit their needs. Upstate NY does not need NYC to survive. It's all about water.
