11. So sad...

Putin taking Crimea and the west not recognizing the annexation makes it impossible for the Ukraine to join the EU and NATO.

Putin also set things up to where if the Ukraine did align west, the country would have to really pay the piper...hoping to make it unattractive to the west...as they would be paying Russia off.

Apparently he miscalculated just how fiendish capitalist bankers can be. As they are indeed willing to pay Putin off and will put Ukraine under so much debt, it will be a debtor prison for a couple of generations. And Putin will not want to absorb Ukraine as he will have to absorb its debt.
