America takes Crimea more serious than Ukraine itself

[korean]

--- The whole U.S. leadership is messing around this issue for quite a long time, but the Ukrainians don't care too much about Crimea, they haven't fire even a single shot toward Russia's takeover of Crimea.
--- Ukrainian leaders only provide lip-service under repeated American pressure, if it is not for the U.S., they wouldn't even bother to mention it.
--- In fact, most Ukrainians see Russians as their brothers and sisters and vice versa for Russians.
--- It is the American politicians who think themselves as world police and eager to save their face as world police that are angry at Russia, no other people in the world care it.

Fact is most Ukrainians see themselves as Russians.

Since obama became presidunce we've just become the bas guys. From trying to put a Chavez type in as president for life in Honduras, to support for Al quaeda in Syria to helping neo nazis in Ukraine we've taken the part of the bad guys.

Totally untrue, in fact when the Germans first invaded they were welcomed into the Ukraine as liberators from the oppressive Russians.

It never occurred to you that just like in Georgia, the Russians were looking for a provocation to justify a full scale military assault and occupation?

Russia didn't have to look far. Removing an elected president, voiding a signed trade agreement and imposing EU policies on an unwilling public might be seen as provocative.
