Umm. Russia didn't start this mess. Those who overthrew the Ukrainian government did. Maybe they should have pondered the consequences of their actions beforehand.
Ummm yes Russia did....apparently you haven’t followed for very long what had been going o there
Don’t say that over there. Have you seen their parliamentary proceedings?

Notice the guy in the fetching ponytail towards the top of the screen. He is the deputy head of Ukraine’s committee on freedom of speech. You can see him exercising his freedom of speech here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5GeBpZ5VHY
Hopefully someday the crisis will be over and they can get back to family outings in the park and celebration of simple patriotism again, like this event from last summer:

Exactly right. The Black Sea situation has developed into a massive disinformation campaign reminiscent of the Cold War. Only this time, it is the West on the offensive, covertly overthrowing governments in order to gain new territory and allies for NATO. President Kennedy went to the brink of war to enforce the Monroe Doctrine in 1962 to force the Soviets to withdraw their bases from Cuba; now Russia is denounced for opposing our deployment of hostile troops, aircraft and warships along Russia's western and southern borders. Just imagine if Cuba had been Mexico or British Columbia or Ontario or Quebec. For an old Cold War / Hot Skirmish infantry officer like me, this is just surreal.
The Ukrainians didn't start anything with Russia. Putin has no business being in Ukraine...and you should "umm" do something about your stutter.
True. So many players involved.
I think a message to Russia should they have any inclination to invade Ukraine should be, ‘You broke it. You bought it.’
this all started over a financial mess in Ukraine. Seems folks rioted at the thought of decreased government benefits and other such losses. Now what?
