    This isn't about your hatred and paranoia. It's about the right of Ukrainians to self-determination. If you love Mother Russia so much you should live there.

    Just because you believe tens of thousands average Ukranians who earn an average of about 8k dollars per year went down to their local hardware store and purchased all the latest Russian military gear including surface to air missiles and transformed overnight into organized military units without anyone noticing, fine. But most people are not that guilable. And all those journalists photographing the little green men, they are not American agents.

    Well, Putin has managed to destroy any credibility he may have had by issuing a series of contradictory statements. Putin said his troops have withdrawn from the Eastern Ukrainian border, but they have not. Then he says he as ordered them to withdraw, but they haven't. So what gives? I think all of this is for domestic consumption.

    Given the recent developments in the Eastern Ukraine with miners and others rising up against the Russian insurgents, I think the end has been written in the sand. Ukraine wins this round. Now they need to fix the damage. And if they are successful at that, one day they may get Crimea back or at least obtain a better settlement.
