Re: U.S.: Putin's Peace Proposal for Ukraine is Nothing But 'Occupation Plan'
Sure, but what the US should have done is taught them how to have an electoral system. This is what, like the third "revolution" in 15 years? They want democracy, but not if it means having a functioning system, so they sieze power a la Bolshevism. Put back together exactly as it was would mean the same thing in another 5-10 years.
In some ways, Putin removing the Russian influenced areas is a present to the rest of Ukraine. They would never have to worry about Yanukovich again.
No Russia tried to stop Ukraine joining the EU and then potentially NATO. In polls before this happened well over 80% of Ukrainians were in favour of EU membership, this situation was intolerable for Putin who told his corrupt 'poodle' Yanukovych to do a complete U turn against the wishes of his people. The rest as they say is history
