Putin kept ex-Ukraine president Viktor Yanukovych in line and Ukraine weak. Putin wanted to be sure to be able to push Ukraine around, like all the other Russian autocrats. His fan club can rejoice if this news is true. An American enemy is strengthened through his efforts, Obama’s weakness, and the support of his internet fanclub.
What fanclub are you on about.....the only people i see are realists......if you are so endeared with saving Ukraine, get on a plane and go join the fight instead of pontificating behind a keyboard.
