The conflict between Russia and the Ukraine has many people confused
in the USA. The media might not be as fair and objective regarding
the situation there. Today the news reported 23 Ukraine Reuters
killed in a gun exchange and their have been some bombs as well.
Just like a wild fire or other natural disasters in the recent news.
People are choosing to leave their homes. Many Pro Russian citizens
in the Ukraine are quitting their jobs and moving to Crimea with
their families. A two hour wait for a train ticket was the norm
today as families wish to leave the conflicted area of Donetsk. The
towns and cities along the Russian/ Ukraine boarder are the most
unsafe places to be. Stephen Cohen, an American that lived in Russia
for a good many years said position of our US military experts is
aggravating the violence. The Kiev's position has been destroy the
rebellion in the Ukraine by just killing them on the spot. There is
little room for negotiating. Cohen
(http://jordanrussiacenter.org/news)
maintains that Putin’s position, at least until recently—that the
entire Ukrainian government is a “neo-fascist junta”—is
incorrect. Many members of the ruling coalition and its parliamentary
majority are aspiring European-style democrats or moderate
nationalists. The conflict gets little air time on our media, and
when it does, it seems that the Ukraine soldiers are the “bad
kids”. Russia appears to have started this conflict by moving
aggressively into the Ukraine and it does appear that the Ukraine
militia is trying to defend its boarders. There is widespread trauma
for children and families in boarder cities. Trying to relocate to
better areas is now the objective as cities become rubble.
