Let Russia have Crimea and even eastern Ukraine. The USA is tired of stupid, costly wars that achieve nothing.
Tell that to McCain and the rest of the old hawks who call the president feckless when it comes to Russia.
Russia is leaving Ukraine to the Neo-Nazis, unfortunately. Otherwise it would be a sovereign and independent state like Crimea. http://rt.com/news/russia-recognize-crimea-independence-410/
more Russian propaganda. Russians think anyone who isn't a Russian Imperialist or a Communist, is a Neo-Nazi.
They, Svoboda, wear Swastikas, and were founded as the "Social-National Party of Ukraine", aka National Socialism. Membership was restricted to ethnic Ukrainians and they recruited skinheads and other thugs.
Didn't you just make threads babbling on about how the Russians where our enemies like 2 seconds ago?
He is allowed to wise up. Even during the cold war, Eastern Europe was not "annexed" by Russia, even though Crimea is Russian. States like Yugoslavia were allowed to go their own way while the the other states were economically independent from Moscow, cooperating through Comecon.
Umm Stalin tried to assassinate Tito, like on more than one occasion. And if eastern europe wasn't annexed, why did the Soviets roll in with tanks and crush opposition movements in Budapest and Czechoslovakia?
And he eventually wised up. That was due to ideological disputes on the question of civil rights. The countries themselves remained economically independent.
To normalize the situation between brotherly peoples and protect them from violence of course. Seeing the new left leaves with a different impression of McCarthy. Is t it crazy sometimes you can't tell the difference between the Putinites and Americans these days on PF? - - - Updated - - - When they ask me to name names I will say "Burz". That is the guy you want.
Tito never bowed to Stalin once. Ya, The Czechs were embarking on reforms and more freedoms, and the Soviets didn't like it so they and other Warsaw pact countries invaded, and ousted the leadership.
You were acting like a chickenhawk in other threads, and now you're all Mr. Preachy Peace guy again. Spare us, dude.
A-frickken-MEN! I don't care if Ukraine loses Crimea. We can't stop Syrians from killing each other. The only time we should worry about any other country is if what happens there directly affects Americans or American property. And the fact is...absolutely NOBODY has the capability of harming America militarilly. There are people that can carry out isolated criminal or terrorist acts, but no amount of invasions of their home countries can stop that. We're NOT the world's parent.
McCain is a moron who's entire existence bought and paid for by taxdollars. McCain is free to resign his seat and head over to Ukraine and fight the Russian onslaught.
what legal authority is that? The Budapest treaty give them no right to leave their bases in Crimea. - - - Updated - - - i realized that we don't need more war. and i learned that some of the big new power holders in Ukraine, are basically Neo-Nazis.
Svoboda got 10.44% of parliamentary votes last election. Better check under your bed for Ukrainian neo-Nazis .
