The blame for this crisis lies fairly and squarely on one man…Vladimir Putin.
It’s not even an Ideology confrontation, it’s about two things Money and power.
Actually it’s only about Money, because Putin needs to stay in power to keep his money.
War boosts ratings by playing to Russian national pride, thus keeping the mobster in power.
Crimea had to happen to stave off the Russian peoples backlash.. The standard of living is not increasing in Russia, therefore Putin doesn’t have true support of the people.
The Wests sanctions will increase, but they will target the oligarchs that keep Putin in power.
When these power masters get separated from their money, Putin will be removed.
The only way that counts to him. There are no politics involved here in the normal sense of the word, only Gangster power. Russia will be free of this Scum one day, hope fully sooner than later.
the blame is due to the Soros/NGO funded dissent and their Neo Nazi mobs.
money and power? wow, good thing that is only in Russia.
war/national pride to keep ____ in power.. good thing that only pertains to Russia also.
tell me, exactly where in the world is the standard of living increasing, please do tell..
good thing the USA doesn't have any oligarchs behind the scenes.
Gangster power and Scum.. Good thing there are no gangster scum ruling over the USA.

The idea that the West is somehow trying to draw Russia into a war is entirely false.

Putin came to power and started a vicious war with Chechnya, Putin understands that
War boosts ratings by playing to Russian national pride, thus keeping the mobster in power.
His ratings have slumped many times and each time they have gotten bad he has lashed out at his neighbours. He saw what was happening in Kiev, and didn’t want this to happen to him.
Crimea had to happen to stave off the Russian peoples backlash.. The standard of living is not increasing in Russia, therefore Putin doesn’t have true support of the people.
At some point Putin will have his own mobs baying for revenge..
Many of the members here have railed on the Western powers for offering what they say as a weak response to Putin’s invasion of Crimea, but I don’t think it is weak, I actually think it is very clever.
The Wests sanctions will increase, but they will target the oligarchs that keep Putin in power.
When these power masters get separated from their money, Putin will be removed.
It will never come to the WWIII because Putin’s handlers will never let him go that far.
I really think the West know what they are doing here.. We seem weak, but we are handling Putin

As usual I find my words are not as accurate as my thoughts, but hopefully I have written enough to get my points across to you.
Just like the government and media the Op seems to go outta his way to avoid the fact that the members of the putsch in Ukraine are fascists

They want me to shut up and are labeling me as a Shill
but they will be unable to deny the truth as situation unfolds.
History Lesson : Since 1000 AC Crimea belonged to the Russians. Since 1000 AC! Before that it belonged to the Byzantine Empire. Greeks immigrated there before the war of Troy (Homer mentions it as Tavrida) and since about 2000 BC to 1000 AC it belonged to the Greeks. Then the Russians conquered it at around 1000 AC and when the became Orthodox Christians and stopped the wars with the Byzantine Empire, they kept it.
a "good guy" who killed thousands in Kosovo, thousands in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Vietnam, in the horn of Africa, in Libya, a "good guy" who have murdered all the good presidents in South America and has created fasistic movements in their positions
If Putin is such a nice amiable chap, then pray do explain why he has restricted a free press in Russia, has had opposition protests and leaders arrested and obstructed from demonstrating and why he has bumped off his rivals either by radiation poisoning like the poor guy in London who died horribly or imprisoned other rivals in prison. The fact is Putin is no democrat.
