I hate monopolies, and currently see US as trying to gain a monopoly on world power, so I want it to have competitors and live in a strong and powerful Russia. But both Russia and China are far behind US for now. It's kind of like with bitcoin pools, if any pool gets 51% of hashrate, it can do nasty things to everybody. Same with influence, if US gets, say 51% influence in the world, it can be bad for everybody. It's all very simplified here, and my only politics knowledge comes from playing EU and Civilization video games, so that's only how I see it. I support 'invasion', which is not really an invasion yet, because it consists only of selfies of native population on the background with unmarked Russian(irony, ha-ha) military. Nobody is dead, and I hope, hope, hope it will stay that way. I see this as a very calculated move to show Crimea they have our support, which they asked for, and nothing more. All hysterical WWIII comments is an overkill. However if Putin would enter east provinces of Ukraine, like Kharkiv, and it might be tempting to do so, cause they are somewhat pro-Russian too, but much less than the Crimea, it would be insane, and I'll never fight for him, and I'll go to protests and try to overthrow him, because I don't want a war. So that's my biggest concern. There is one more thing to keep in mind: even if Russia would do nothing, Ukraine may go downward into civil war because they have some nasty social problems now. If it would happen I really don't know what would be the best move for Russia to take. But I think there was enough violence already, and I want only peace. |
