Politicians and Ukraine. Danger.

Danger for Europe in Ukraine.

There is no doubt that a war in Ukraine would  lead to many deaths, create hundreds of thousands of refugees and destroy the structure of effective government as various political factions fight for power.

Yes, the principal of good democracy has been violated by the recent events in the country. The new power in Kiev has not been a very good example of clean democratic process either.

Now it needs cool heads to prevail. (If there are any).

Once the Russians quieten things down in the East tempers can cool. It will take few years for everything to stabilize.

Eventually a sensible democratic society will emerge again and life will normalize for the ordinary citizens. Without the killings etc.

Ucraine, Putin, Obama and all the other politicians and Anarchists.

A civil war in the Ukraine would be the real catastrophe, not only for the citizens in the country, but the rest of Europe too.

Syria has been failed by its Government and especially those that decided arming rebel groups was "the right thing to do". It has led to misery on a grand scale.

This is what would happen if rebels were armed in the Ukraine. Total catastrophe!!!

Is the Russian troops arrival "illegal". Probably. But it might just be keeping the peace. And that is what is needed.

If Europe or Obama wants to help, then get the Squabbling Bickering groups around the table and keep them there until the street demonstrations (and worse) stop.

Political point scoring, at a time when "Firm Policing" is required is not good for any of us.
