THE DESTABILIZATION OF UKRAINE
Anyone with a world view and who pays attention to events believes the alleged "pro-Russian rebels" fighting in Eastern Ukraine are actually either Russian soldiers or their surrogates. But why? The answer lies in how communists have come to power - by destabilizing legitimate governments and putting their fellow travelers into power - communist power. One only need to be aware of the history of what they did to the nations of eastern Europe they overcame in World War Two. They didn't leave... and their fellow travelers were employed while the opposition was suppressed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that the fall of the Soviet Union is the worst thing to happen to them. In my eye he would like to re-create it in a 21st century style. Don't call him a communist though. That scares people who pay attention. Just like you can't call current American leadership communist...but they ARE communists. But to have come out of the closet as such would immediately tell us all their true intentions. And they don't want that known.
Ukraine is smartly appealing to the NATO nations of Europe to stand up to Russian aggression by increasing their military budgets. Let's hope the appeal is not too late. They've all enjoyed the support of the United States since the end of World War Two. While we are pulling back from our defense commitments there the vacuum must be replaced by their own.
Look at a map to understand the huge geographic colossus Russia is. Wouldn't you think that their Western provinces would want to run their own household? Maybe the NATO nations should mirror Russian aggression by destabilizing Russia's Western provinces and give 'em a taste of their own medicine?
