“Well....didn’t you then expect that after all? No different then the blame Russia button....it’s all Geo-political. Nothing to do with Ukraine’s people.”

That’s the thing: they had a coup, then immediately played the victimhood card when their own ethnic Russian citizens fought back. Then they go whining to NATO and the EU / US for help when their “duly elected president” can’t hold their new government together.

I have no sympathy for either side, but the Ukrainians are coming across as whining, paranoid, self-obsessesed victims who are dependent on outside help to correct a situation they created themselves.

It isn’t pretty, it isn’t funny, and the US should stay out of it and let the offended parties work it out between themselves.

Are you concerned about the invasion coming across our S. Border? Play the “victimhood” card about it very often?

Ukraine can't do any more than be a victim and cry out for help....they didn't count the cost before hand, they never do....heck Yats went out early he got so frustrated.

It's been understood by Oligarchs Ukraine is all about being in “revolution” mode.....and still today they have people continuing to line the streets for one thing or another.

If I were to take any side it would be those in East Ukraine who wanted to break from Kiev and be as a state within Ukraine.....Even Poroshenko was willing to hear them out as he canidated for Pres..... But of course Ukraine's politics are under the Oligarchs once again so it's going to continue to be a slug fest there....and there's nothing much left there in the East to be unified now regardless if it becomes Nova-Russia or Fully Ukraine. Most of the Russians have moved out and Poroshenko's already given housing to any in the West who want to move there.

They needed a coup when the corrupt President orders soldiers to shoot protesters
