Re: Tripe about Ukraine

OK. Let me see if I have this straight (can't tell without a score card, and we're fresh out of score cards)
A president of questionable legality (Putin; just ask Josh about Putin's legality) is at loggerheads with a government that got to power by illegal coup (clue: the present government of Ukraine wasn't exactly voted in) over the Crimea, which -may- decide by questionably legal vote to secede from Ukraine and join with Russia-- long ago the Crimea was part of Russia and was made part of Ukraine in a Soviet restructuring, as I understand it now.
I would note that the guys presently running Ukraine appear to be the same sort that the Allies had to fight in WW2, and the fact that they're presently in power by the means they used does not bode well for future events. That our president says this government is "legal" boggles the mind.
Why do I have the feeling that this all looks like a South-Side gangland power struggle and we're rooting for the gang we each find least offensive, and hope we don't get dragged into their turf war?
Hmmm..... Nazis with nukes. That should keep you up at night.
