Well, this is why I never liked him...

In my life, I have seen four wars begun with great enthusiasm and public support, all of which we did not know how to end and from three of which we withdrew unilaterally. The test of policy is how it ends, not how it begins.No Hank, it matters how you get into a war. And here is where I disagree with him and Putin:
4. It is incompatible with the rules of the existing world order for Russia to annex Crimea. But it should be possible to put Crimea’s relationship to Ukraine on a less fraught basis. To that end, Russia would recognize Ukraine’s sovereignty over Crimea. Ukraine should reinforce Crimea’s autonomy in elections held in the presence of international observers. The process would include removing any ambiguities about the status of the Black Sea Fleet at Sevastopol.Too late, a snap election has the Crimeans voting themselves back into Russia after 50 years. Putin should have had them vote themselves into independence, which would have confounded his opponents. He could have then fashioned a Hong Kong on the Black Sea, and buried the Ukraine, with its ardent desire for bailouts, and the West in its ardent desire to steal more territory.

Ukraine - what we are not being told:

I'm not sure what to believe anymore. Western media is not reliable in trying to understand what is really going on in the world.
Why would the U.S. government support corrupt and bad people to take over foreign countries - "the enemy of my enemy is my friend no matter what."?
Maybe one's enemy is really not your enemy (or wants to be your enemy really)? I think it is wrong to antagonize Russia (and China too). Rather than incite and be threatening to Russia, shouldn't the West be trying to integrate Russia and get their cooperation? Just a thought.
