I read that the Crimea voted to join russia; therefore there is nothing to do about the ukraine. I also read that Russia basically subsidized the Ukraine; whereas the USA does not. I also noted that Russia was cutting off gas subsidies to the Ukraine, but yet the USA or Europe wont be footing Ukraine's gas bill. this has been called unfair sanctions, but then the USA is also using economic sanctions. In many respects the Ukraine is Russia's backyard. There is no end to the USA supporting fascist coups all over the world. Its like bickering over who gets to control a flea circus a billion miles away. It doesn't really concern me as an everyman.
