Ukraine

It is funny how all these news reports forget to mention the single important fact:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_in_Ukraine#Shale_gas

Ukraine has Europe's third-largest shale gas reserves at 1.2 trillion cubic meters (tcm).[13] There are two potentially large shale gas fields.[13] The Yuzivska gas field located in Donetsk Oblast (province) and Kharkiv Oblast; and the Olesska field in Lviv Oblast and Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.[13] Ukraine signed a shale gas 50-year production sharing agreement with Royal Dutch Shell on 25 January 2013 involving the Yuzivska gas field.[17][4] The $10 billion deal was the largest foreign direct investment ever for Ukraine.[17]

And these reserves happen to be exactly in the middle of the conflict zone.

So it won't end with Crimea, because the best Russia can do is to deny the West of all natural resources, no matter the sanctions. It is like Starcraft, where best strategy is denying enemy from expansion. What sanctions you may impose, if you have no fuel to run you tanks?

Doesn't even matter. RUSFED has already proven the effectiveness of the zerg rush strategy kekeke gg

Yeah. It wast really fast:
Fall of 2013: West brags about new contracts with Ukraine on gas exploitation.
Spring of 2014: West whines about everything lost to the bad Putin.

Putin has a win-win strategy:
- Yanukovych was about to deny the west of resources.
- West displaced Yanukovych with some fuzz.
- Putin simply annexed the gas reserves and scolded Yanukovych for being a doormat.

And West is like WTF?!!! We cant really use army to help Ukraine defend what is left, because of our own pacifist faggotry and Obama being a weak insecure nigger who got nobel peace prize, like a fucking hippie.

Ronald Reagan’s memorable 1984 visit to Normandy stands in sharp contrast. Reagan came as the free world’s unquestioned leader, locked in mortal struggle against global Communism, whereas Obama is a smaller-than-life figure — weak, indecisive and now sinking under the Bergdahl prisoner-swap controversy. Our NATO alliance lies in disarray. Russian belligerence is growing. And Obama seems increasingly detached.

Because of Obama’s weak leadership — and the even greater weakness of NATO’s European members — Putin recouped much of the influence Russia lost when a popular uprising overthrew Ukraine’s pro-Moscow Yanukovich government. Russia has also struck a substantial blow against NATO’s cohesion, whether fatal or just debilitating we do not yet know. Worse, Putin is undoubtedly drawing a dangerous conclusion: NATO is vulnerable to a determined Russian strategy of military, political and economic assertiveness.

Europe’s other significant institution, the European Union, also is experiencing considerable stress and turmoil. Its currency, the euro, barely survived the financial crisis and is not immune from further pressure. The EU’s political institutions and their most basic premises are under continent-wide criticism.

In recent European Parliament elections, the United Kingdom Independence Party won the largest number of votes in Britain; the National Front came in first in France; and populist parties of the right and the left scored significant electoral gains elsewhere. In Germany, the Alternative für Deutschland, which opposes the euro but not the EU itself, contesting its first election, did respectably, demonstrating that even in the EU’s heart, criticism is rising. These protest parties, far from uniformly conservative in the American sense (some actually being pro-Russian), are each distinct national manifestations of discontent. Several have unmistakably repugnant racist and anti-Semitic elements.
