Oh but we are.
Or do you want Puttie Poot, to sack the Ukraine, again?
The Playa here is Turkey. Muslim NATO.
An attack on one is an attack on us all.
The western media is portraying the Ukrainian situation as one where 99% of the population are being oppressed by a small minority of Russians.
NOT SO!
My wife is an ethnic Russian Crimean Ukrainian and about half the country want to maintain their closest ties to Moscow.
The North and West are Ukrainian Nationalists with less love towards Moscow and a dream of joining the EU
the South and East are mostly ethnic Russian Ukrainians who don't want to split from their historic links o Russia.
Crimea (Autonomous Republic of) was NEVER part of Ukraine.
In the mid-50's (after about 40 years of the USSR) it was decided to place Crimea under the control of Kiev,
rather than Moscow - has had been usual since Catherine the Great occupied the peninsula from the indigenous Tartars
then populated the area with super patriotic Russian colonists.
The connection to Russia is still a source of great pride.
One rarely hears the Ukrainian language spoken on the streets of Crimea.
The vast majority of the locals class Russian as their mother tongue.
THIS CONFLICT HAS
TWO SIDES WHO EACH BELIEVE THEY HAVE RIGHT ON THEIR SIDE.
If you believe that big, bad Vlad is oppressing an entire nation with no desire to remain connected to Russia....
You're being fooled by the pro-Western bias of the media.
