The double speak language in which this negotiation is taking place is
nauseating. The invasion is couched in the language of Putin having
"legitimate" concerns, in Crimea and Ukraine.
That he has concerns for the Russian people there.
Is there any case in Ukraine where Russian speakers are defiled. Russian is
heard all over, rather than Ukrainian. Yatseniuk said his wife speaks
Russian, his kids speak Russian, which suggests their home language is
Russian. Where are Russians being persecuted.
So, this invasion...which is really a violent vengeful desire for the
old empire....is never seen for what it is. And so all this diplomacy is
talking about a problem which does not exist but the real elephant in the
room is ignored.
What are these legitimate concerns, historical, cultural, and security,
that Russia has? That Americans are to help the Russians address, said
Kerry.
How is Russia now a bratskyj narod. I agree with Ambassador Ohryzko,
he had it right today in his statement.
Russian conduct has probably changed a good deal of the of the way nations
will address issues. But only naive countries would trust Putin.
