The difference is we support the right side in this war, and the Russians the wrong side (like they did in Vietnam)
There is no right side in Ukraine’s war.....
....anything Maidan had hoped to accomplish went out the window once Private Sector hijacked their revolt against Kiev Gov. and went on the dole from the likes of McCain, Nuland and all those who tread on their parade long before the Revolution began... and continue to do so today..... You have your hands in Uncle Sam’s pocket, as Maidan did, you don’t walk away without paying up.
Russia’s simply doing what Russia does when the US overreaches.....and they knew that going into Ukraine would cut a response from Putin IF they could not control the outcome as planned.....and they didn’t and they aren’t doing so now.
Do you not see how Obama has majorly screwed up our country? Do you honestly believe he could pull off anything at all in Ukraine without majorly screwing things up there? He always has to have someone to blame, either by word or deed or both rather than his own thoughtless and idiotic moves.......blaming Russia for “everything” was as easy as slicing butter. Putin’s been his arch enemy since before he took office....and Putin could give a rats butt what Obama thinks or says.
Furthermore...Ukraine is NOT Vietnam nor is it Syria or Iraq or the host of other conflicts we’ve been involved in....it’s a pivitol nation in a ‘Super Powers’ sphere who just happens to have Nuclear Weapons. You don’t play in the big boys league unless you have the b*alls and the ability to carry through and get the job done. Obama doesn’t have either.....so now we have people dying in the hundreds in order for that piece of dirt to save face.
