Summary: In this article from USA Today, the continued invasion of Ukraine by Russia is mentioned. In the latest move, government buildings in eastern Ukraine have been seized by separatists. Supposedly, Moscow is behind so that they might use it as excuse to send more troops into Ukraine. In fact, this has happened in two cities. That of Luhansk and Donetsk. One citizen of Donetsk said that the people who stand for a united Ukraine are intellectuals, where as those that are for a split are aggressive, uneducated people. One of the separatist activists though, has called for Russia to send in troops in order to help their cause. He'll likely get his wish, as thousands of Russian troops are massed at the border.
Reaction: What is mine is mine and what is your's is also mine seems to be Russia's motto here. They have been very aggressive in their takeover of eastern Ukraine, even though that is not someplace they should be. Their business should not be with Ukraine. Their motives are purely for the good of the fatherland and not of Ukraine. All though the situations are slightly different, imagine if the US invaded northern Mexico. They'd have no business doing that and the outcry would be enourmous, much as it is in Russia. True, the situation in Ukraine is getting out of hand, but it is not Russia's situation. They should not be sticking their noses where they have no business to. Ukraine doesn't have the power to stand up to Russia, and no one else appears to have any interest in doing that.
If Ukraine doesn't have the power to stand up to Russia, then maybe giving up would be a wise decision. Just let the Russians have it. If anyone else wants to step up and stop Russia, go ahead. Until then Russia has already won. Not to say I approve of Russia's action; in fact I would love to jump in on the Jack Attack train.
ReplyDeleteAs a person who loves dumb things I get 2 joys out of the situation at hand. 1. Now both Russia and the USA have trained military dolphins. 2. Cartoon adaptations of the Crimean Attorney General.
