I agree with this. And in the Black Sea, we participated in the Maidan which put a hostile regime into Ukraine. Then Russia annexed Crimea and some of the other Russian speaking part of Ukraine, but we're calling that illegitimate.

Russia is anti-Semitic (they don't talk that way but have acted that way for 2 or 3 centuries, with some varying change during the time of the Soviet Union) and so I can understand the hatred and desire to strangle it. Bad memories on both sides, very bad. Eventually I suppose there will be a negotiated settlement, in which Russia may be forced to retreat a little.
Uncle Sam should turn around and throw nameless in.

China's been trying to keep us from a weak dollar policy ever since about 2008. But fuck China, they lent us all that money in arms-length transactions knowing what the total debt was, so the risk should be on them.
