    Default The Ukraine

    I'm sure we've all seen on TV the effective destabilisation of the Ukraine and effective annexation of the Crimea by Russia, how do people feel about this. Poland has tried to implement article 4 with Nato because it feels directly threatened. Do we appease hard right wing in Ukraine and step up to the plate as they've asked by trying to use our signing Belgrade agreement they are asking us to supply Military. Will Putin view as us weak and start to try and expand his empire again, the former KGB fox is known to want to reestablish the old USSR to its former glory. Could this be another peace in our time moment. As we attempt to keep extremists from exerting their influence on the geo political map

    I don't see the problem. The Crimea has only been part of Ukraine since 1954 when Krustchev did it for administrative purposes. It is mostly ethnic Russian to this day. Up until 1991 it was no big deal, just part of USSR. It makes sense for Crimea to go back to Russia.
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.
