He previously taught at Princeton University.)<br /><br />"Constant expansion of NATO on Russian border for years led to this.<br /><br />We are 3 steps from war with Russia & 2 steps from a Cuban missile crisis (then war is one step away) .<br /><br />By moving NATO TROOPS TO WEST UKRAINIAN BORDER, then PUTIN will put troops on the EASTERN SIDE OF UKRAINE <br /><br />Putin wants a moderate government in Kiev without Neo-nazi fascists in control. He wants a continued economic relationship.<br /><br />He would then recognize the new Ukraine government and assist them economically.<br /><br />Putin believes the USA crossed HIS 'Red Line' in Georgia in 2008, & now UKRAINE.<br /><br />On 2-21-14, EU signed agreement to keep Viktor Yanukovych in office, & get the Neo nazi protesters off the street. The EU & USA DID NOTHING to enforce that agreement so Putin believes they are complicit.<br /><br />3-3/14 KISSINGER: "Demonization of Putin is an alibi for not having a foreign policy."

Ian Bremmer: PRESIDENT OF EURASIA GROUP<br />(Bremmer is most widely known for advances in political risk; called the "rising guru" in the field by the Economist and, more directly, bringing political science as a discipline to the financial markets. In 2001, Bremmer created Wall Street's first global political risk index, the GPRI (Global Political Risk Index). Bremmer's definition of an emerging market as "a country where politics matters at least as much as economics to the market" is a standard reference in the political risk field.)<br /><br />"Sanctions are real & they have real economic impact. Russian oligarchs are taking flight.<br /><br />Putin is very popular.<br /><br />Kerry will cause aN ECONOMIC destabilization with his threats. Ukraine is the single most Russian economic national interest.<br /><br />Obama/Kerry believe Putin has blood on his hands, but the deal cut was abrogated & the USA jumped on that, although if the tables were turned & it was the USA, they would not have tolerated it<br /><br />If OBAMA is going to continue to ratchet up sanctions, escalation will continue...Russian will be dangerous destructive wherever they have a geopolitical economic interest: Iran, Syria, Poland, Astonia.<br /><br />Trade wars are coming. Putin wanted to write a $15 billion dollar check to the Ukrainians.<br /><br />Do not underestimate the capabilities of PUTIN-is NOT going down. Russia will not collapse. <br /><br />*Obama is misguided: No feasible achievable reasonable sanctions by USA WILL SUCCEED. Majority of Russians don't believe the USA has their interest at heart."Patriarchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138603022259989149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480959310171271494.post-17251078481623304212014-03-21T20:48:56.297-07:002014-03-21T20:48:56.297-07:00Touché
