I understand your point, however there has been a good deal of tension in Ukraine and with the primaries from both sides. The kind of tensions that have a warlike nature. You have Russian troops in Crimea and an eventual absorption of it. Russian troops amassed on the eastern Ukraine border along with Russian troops rousting Ukraine troops in Crimea. All the while there has been warlike talk from the American/European side. Not to mention the sanctions regimen, which is an act of war in itself. If one has missed all this, he hasn't been paying attention. Edited by Enigma, Apr 2 2014, 11:43 AM.

Crimeans voted to join Russia and I already posted that Russia has started to withdraw troops from Ukraine's border. You're looking for a battle where there is none. Obama did the right thing on the issue, the sanctions talk worked. Crimea has a mostly Russian population and Russia's naval fleet is stationed there. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. They have no such claims on the rest of Ukraine and that's why the troops are moving back. This all played out the way it should have. |

I'm not looking for anything. I see where the author is coming from because I'm aware of the facts. The sanctions talk hasn't worked and it's still a work in progress. That's because once one goes down that road, there's no telling where it will end. It's left to be seen what happens with the Ukraine, it's an unsettled issue, which could be defined by any abrupt action. Putin's moving troops back because it's smart and strategic, nothing more. As stated, sanctions are an act of war, and a point not lost on Putin. This is far from over and the speech used by the author is par for this course. |
