Why are we surprised ? :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Stephen H. Chopek (United States), Feb 24, 2014 at 15:00

The current situation in the ukraine is tragic and brings great sadness to Ukranian Americans. The ukranian problem goes bacc to when the Obama Administration reced with its Re-set policy and other signs of weakness communicated by the Obama Administration itself - the Red Line with Syria (inaction). Putin looked at this US policy weakness and the door was open to ussia for exploitaton. I am afraid civil war is imminent in the Ukraine. US policy options are weak and limited.
