Neighbor is a Ukrainian immigrant, he broke it down as Europe (mainly Germany) and Russia competing for control as the major pipeline routes for oil from Siberia to western Europe run through Kiev. He views the major players in the current conflict as just competing to be a puppet for either Europe or Russia, he's behind the Russian backed side as in his words "with Russia, Ukraine status is number 2, with Europe, they put us on the bottom and steal our money for their bankrupt countries.'

Damn. I'd love to hear the opposing sides take on this. I know this all started over the President strengthening ties with Russia rather than the EU. But I'm saying, how much more does it benefit Ukraine to be a part of the EU? It's not like the shyt is going swimmingly. :ehh:

Old world politics. They'll never be fully free from Russia especially while they rely on Russian oil & gas.

Or considering the Soviets pushed "ethnic Russians" into all of the countries they took. Ukraine has been under Russia's thumb for 100+ years.

Was talking about this last night with some friends.
