Name three enemies of the US who were once, considered friends?
We obviously have issues with our judgement if these people are, or once were our friends. I read on a conservative news site that our fight with Putin is misdirected. The site went on to say that the rebels, the Ukrainians, who we are supporting, are the reincarnate of the Nazi movement. Now, this is not to say that Putin is clean and sparkly, but supporting Nazi's, not a good idea.
Of course, I cannot simply take the word of one site, so I asked an employee, who is a permanent resident from Poland, for his opinion of the events taking place in Eastern Europe. I asked what he was hearing from home. He said Poland is not worried about Putin's motives, but went on to say that Ukraine is more wrong than right. He said the people Ukraine and Estonia have more to worry about. I asked if thought we were giving Ukraine enough support. He said we should not be supporting at all and added that the people are nasty. I asked him what he meant and he said, "Ukranians are Nazi's, they are not good people."
Our policy in this part of the world needs to be reviewed. Are we getting involved to stop Russia or to make "ourselves" look good? Our we doing this because it's the right thing to do or to give Obama another chance for a successfule legacy before he leaves office? It would appear to me that we should investigate a little further before supporting, morally and/or financially, either side. I think this is one time when we can have the opportunity to stop our enemy while we are still friends.
Will this be the first time Obama makes a positive move before he does more damage? We'll see.
