What's good for the goose..... Ukraine

 

Ukraine is running out of money. Officials estimate that they need up to $30 billion in loans from the International Monetary Fund over the next two years. Ukraine hopes to sign a deal this month to unlock $7 billion from the IMF.

The Russian Federation doesn't recognize the legitimacy of the authorities in Kiev, but will continue to give it economic support and subsidize Ukraine's economy.

Earlier the Ukrainians' demonstrated and got red of the government that sign an agreement with Russia. Now pro Russian wants the opposite.

Sen. John McCain, said it is imperative that the U.S. act more forcefully to prevent further Russian encroachment on the region by providing more arms to the Ukrainians and imposing further sanctions on the Russian economy.

This approach is inappropriate as it is dangerous for all parties. Weapons open the door to fighting and killing for years to come. The result would be terrible economics and hundred thousands dead. We don't want Iraq experience all over again.

Ukraine's Dilemma.

What's happened in Ukraine is driven by the country's history with Russia, its deep economic woes, a sense of cultural fondness for the West, wide discontent with government corruption, and two decades of divided politics. 

Ukraine saw its biggest protests against the government’s refusal to sign an agreement with the European Union and instead signed with Russia.  Ukraine is basically, east and west, with a river splitting the half Russian and half Ukrainian parts.

The people of Ukraine wants western style living, good economics, and Russian support with reduce oil prices.

A lot of noise on Russian soldiers on the ground, the world is asking them to get out.....
Even if Ukraine joined the EU, their situation would be like Greece. Same economic problems that no one else will solve it for you.
