Can we honor requests of the Ukraine government to put Air Launched Cruise Missiles into each government building held by the Russian-speaking Pirates?
You want to start a war with Russia over Ukraine? I hope you’re joking.
I am opposed to any money or lives being spent here. It is none of our business. The McCain crazies are so incensed about a border 6,000 miles from here but do nothing about the invasion of our border out of the south!!
Let me inject a bit of reality here.
There is a large and mostly docile Ukrainian population who are largely indifferent to both Russia and EU. Their idea is that Ukrainian government has to work on stable relations with both for the nation to benefit.
There are also two quite a small distinctive groups of moderate liberals and socialists who are leaning towards Europe or Russia respectively, mostly misunderstanding both. European-leaning thinks that Europe is still a Heaven of Freedom the way US was before Great Society. Russian-leaning are generally leftists, who aren’t realize that Russia is not a communist country anymore.
Both groups has a very tiny cores of radical fanatics who are commies or nazis respectively and hatred is deep between them.
The majority of population dislikes both radical groups and distrusts both EU and Russia.
On the other hand Eastern Ukrainians fear the Nazis more than they dislike commies, and they see Russia as a better alternative (to the point of becoming a state of Russia for more protection) because they suspect EU behind the Nazis.
In Western Ukraine situation is directly opposite.
Both Russia and EU are doing their best to throw more crap at this fan.
That is what makes Ukraine so messed up.
