Exactly.

By the way, the same "neo-conservative" A-holes who are all up in arms over the Crimea secession today were the loudest cheerleaders for Clinton back in the 1990s when it came to bombing Serbia on behalf of the Kosovo separatists.

Like him or not, Putin is no fool. He knows exactly what these people are up to.

Especially the doofus on the right.

Concurring bump.

I find it difficult to understand the whole situation

Yanukovych may have been corrupt - but he wasn’t the first Ukrainian politician to be so. Also, the EU itself declared his election in 2010 to be relatively fair, open and legitimate.

So the protestors in Kiev have toppled it - but replaced with who and what? John Kerry calls them “pro democracy protestors.” Really? So who are they?

Also, a 1994 International Treaty allowed Russia access to the Crimea and permission to keep 25,000 troops there. So how can this be considered an “invasion” when they have been there 20 years already?

Finally, I think declaring Ukraine could enter NATO was ridiculous - and very provocative.

Again, Putin is not saint, but I am finding it hard to get worked up over what he is doing.
