Making the World Safe for Democracy?

A frequently used justification dating back to the Woodrow Wilson Administration again seems a bit ironic; using various NGO’s and plenty of taxpayer money, Assistant Secretary of State for Euro/Eurasian affairs, Victoria Nuland, is the western face of a not so discrete double-standard.

Question: How do we assert the moral high-ground with Putin when this Nation’s own policy is designed to subvert the very democratic process we claim to guard?

Ukraine: Angle of Attack

Western influences are driving the media-push to frame Putin as the aggressor; fact is that Putin, despite the virile opposition’s distortions of history and fact, is maneuvering with great restraint and well within Russia’s established agreements/treaties with Ukraine.

Where is this headed? Simple: E.U. deeply resents Russia’s control of their energy supplies while Western banking & financial interests want control of Russian resources and Putin is clearly aware of this.

Ukraine, Crimea, Russia & the Inept

The USSR and Czarist Russia may be history but their legacy lives. Although the strong-arm of the Soviets gave the appearance of a unified front the fact remains that Mother-Russia has always been an amalgamation of autonomous and semi-autonomous regions loosely bound by inference, population infusion and extraction, treaty or threat.

Presently on one side you have Putin, determined to preserve the continental Russian Federation (including the western boundary States of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) which, on all fronts, is at risk for fracturing and on the other side is the West (lead primarily by the U.S. & U.K.) who would love nothing more than to see Putin’s Russia fall victim to separatist fragmentation.

Ukraine: Why now?

A Nation in conflict is ripe for picking; carrion for the predatory opportunist. Having been a part of Russia for the better part of 200 years one would have to go back to the 14th Century to observe, scant as it was, an independent Ukraine. In 1990, yes, Russia did grant Ukraine it’s independence much as the Soviet Union granted Russia and its other provincial regions the very same status.
