"The United States' cavalier military action thousands of miles from its borders is putting Ukrainians, including ethnic Russians, in harm's way. The US is meddling in an internal Novorossiya matter and an errant bomb or missile could kill innocent civilians. We all saw the humanitarian crisis...
It looks like Putin could very well get what he wants - annexation of eastern Ukraine. Like many things in foreign policy, he can get it simply by having bigger balls than his opponents (the West).
The Russian strategy seems to be to try to provoke Ukraine into a large scale response. The...
