Me -the People

The distinctive feature if the giraffe is the long neck the distinctive feature of human beings is the pursuit of happiness.

How hard it is to be happy!

Cutting giraffe's neck, because it too long and doesn't conform to the accepted norm for necks of cattle goes against their nature.

Cutting down people's hope by instilling fear goes against our nature and is likely to provoke powerful resistance which  may and will turn violent if not addressed on time.

In Ukraine it must be evident by now that it is the interests of the people of Ukraine that are to be considered first, perhaps the interests of their immediate neighbors first with the unquestionable priority of or Russia) and I don't mean the corrupt Russian elite but the people of Russia followed by the rest of the world .

Any actions or words directed against the people of Ukraine (and by the people of Ukraine I mean not only those who speak Ukrainian) and their welfare, unity and right to self-determination is an enemy of the people of Ukraine first, the people of Russia, the rest of Europe and the rest of the  world. There is only one united Europe possible - one that includes Russia - without Russia Europe is just Germany and its satellites (except for the UK which has some level of independence fueled by the money of corrupt and criminal Russian oligarchs - not exactly Cyprus, but on its way to become one.

The parliament of Ukraine voting to ban Russian language - is against the people. The US sending military aircraft to the Baltics - against the people because they serve no other purpose than to ignite fear - in the unlikely development if Russia is to invade the Baltic states - they are most likely to flee back to Britain -fighting would be suicidal. The corrupt Russian leadership shouldn't be so eager to accept Crimea's plea for secession - why it is OK for Crimea to secede but not for Chechnya.

On the other hand why it is OK from US-EU perspective for Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia to split but not for Ukraine?

We have had enough of fear mongering - it's time to tell the elites in Kiev, Moscow, Washington and Berlin - we are not buying it! Get it resolved,  stop posturing or get out!
