Re:

Canada, hard to imagine we  ever won a Peace Prize, and were known as peace makers, isn't it.

Crimea was Russian for centuries before Khrushchev redrew the boundaries and give it to Ukraine in 1954.  Consider as well that in a course of just over 100 years, Russia was invaded 3 times and fought for her very existence with invaders from Western Europe in which tens of millions of lives were lost.   Some of the bloodiest battles in WWII were fought in the Crimea and what is today Ukraine. 

How would Washington react if the government of Mexico was replaced by a pro-Chinese government?   Would Washington sit ideally by if Mexico City wanted to join a military alliance with China and would allow the Chinese to establish military bases on Mexican soil & close to the American border?   Would Washington turn a blind eye if Mexican rebels in the border states wanted to separate so they could continue their cultural and economic relationship with the US?   Yet in Putin’s eyes this is what has happened to Ukraine and Kyiv’s desire to join NATO (from Ukraine’s northern boundary it is less than 600km of flat Russian Steppes to Moscow).   Should Russia forget centuries of history and tens of millions that died defending the Motherland to comfortable that NATO would be less than 600km from its capital?   

The situation in Ukraine and Russia is not black or white but has an infinite shade of gray.   It is a complex situation that defies simplistic solutions that is favored by Prime Minster Harper.

Richard Konopada

Subject: F.Y.I..: CRG:  Canada's Harper Government Provides Military Training to Neo-Nazi Ukraine National Guard

...  This story contradicts earlier reports and government statements.  ...

... Some members of Ukraine's most effective fighting units [Azov batallion] have openly acknowledged they are Nazi sympathizers or have expressed anti-Semitic or extreme right wing views. (Ottawa Citizen, April 18, 2015, emphasis added)  ...
 
...  They wear Nazi insignia on their uniforms.  ...
 
...  Unknown to both Americans and Canadians, the West is channeling financial support, weapons and training to a Neo-Nazi entity. Both Washington and Ottawa have sent in military instructors.  ...

[ Oh well, goes to show who folks are led by in (what used to be) the land of the free and home of the brave ?  Not very free, and not all that brave.     And lap dog Canada yaps along in unison with its Big Daddy. ]
