As posted before......When banks compete, people die. This isn't so much about one nationalistic country verses another, ...it is about a strategically located country, looking to switch banks! 'Our' bankers are not directly involved, and our government couldn't give a rat's ass about the Ukraine, except how to make Obama look like he is a player...which he is not. If it was our pipelines, if it were our satellite wanting to do business with another global banker, if they were rich in natural resources, including opium or coke, THEN we might intervene....Putin knows that Obama isn't going to do shit, except give a shallow speech....and there you have it.
The Republicans are going to re-act with 'patriotic' indignation, and say that Obama is perceived as weak, the Democrats don't want to spend money for the military, and will hail Obama's 'reserve' as 'wisdom'.....BOTH of them will, hide the banker's interests, but neither of them will tell you the real story.....
I just did.
