Why am I suppose to be upset?

I don’t see any reason for you to be upset.

The Ukraine on the other hand might be upset that a foreign power has come in to their country and murdered one of their citizens.

Extra-judicial executions are generally considered bad in your own country but when perpetrated in another country they are really bad form.

But Putin really does not like that the Ukraine is an independent country anyway. I am pretty sure that he does not intend for it to stay that way.

We cheer it when Iserial does it.

Viktor Yushchenko vs Putin's puppet Viktor Yanukovych

__________________________

Viktor Yushchenko

During his campaign for the presidency in 2004, Yushchenko became seriously ill from dioxin poisoning in an apparent assassination attempt; his face was left permanently disfigured and pockmarked.

Mass protests, which became known as the Orange Revolution, followed a runoff round in which Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, backed by Kuchma and generally considered pro-Russian and cool toward western Europe as compared with Yushchenko, had been declared the winner.

The Supreme Court, after invalidating that result, ordered a second runoff to be held in December 2004. Yushchenko was officially confirmed as the winner the following month.

As president, Yushchenko quickly encountered difficulties. He faced a fuel crisis beginning in May 2005, and in September he replaced his entire cabinet, accusing it of incompetence. In the 2006 parliamentary elections, Yushchenko’s party finished third, and eventually he was forced to approve the nomination of Yanukovych for prime minister.

A power struggle between Yushchenko and Yanukovych escalated in early 2007, when parliament passed laws that seriously curtailed Yushchenko’s authority. In particular, the new legislation ended the president’s right to reject parliament’s choice of prime minister.

Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time'

Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY SHOW (NBC)

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

If the Kiev gov lets people who want to kill Putin to live free, shouldn't we applaud Putin? Don't we go into other countries all the time and disintegrate terrorists and other bad guys? How do we know that the Kiev gov wasn't enabling them?

Good form would be the US acknowledging that overthrowing the gov there was a very bad thing to do.
