I'm really surprised Putin didn't think about the Ukraine becoming Russia's Iraq. I sure hope it costs Russia $5 trillion dollars too. Probably not quite so much because they don't have to go so far. But I'm sure he's creating lots of Ukrainian terrorists. The Russians are already having to deal with Muslim terrorists from Dagestan that threatened the Olympics, and other provinces that want to break from Russia. It's like what the cons do here. They create terrorists faster than they can kill them.
Ukraine cannot become Russia's Iraq because the Ukranians think of themselves as Russians. No Iraqi ever thought of themselves as an American. Any Ukranian plotting a terrorist act would not be dealt with kindly by other Ukranians.
Honestly, after all this time, news and discussion, you don't know the difference between a Ukrainian and an ethnic Russian Ukrainian? Do you actually believe that Ukrainians think of themselves as Russian?
Did you not comprehend that in Irag the population thought of themselves first as Sunni, Shite or Kurd?
