The republican's hate Obama, and have done since the start. His attempts to compromise and work with them were utterly futile.
The Conservatives of all the countries, are generally hard people

Indeed >.< pretty hard to spin that one.
Poroshenko accused Putin of "wanting Europe". Considering "possible" aggression of Russia against Finland and the Baltic countries, in an interview with RFI broadcast this morning. "Putin wants to go as far as we will authorize it. He wants all of Europe, "said Petro Poroshenko
I really don't think Putin would be that stupid. He's posturing for his own people who seem to lap it up like some Americas do when the US Air Force flies over the Super Bowl.
At the end of the day, the evidence shows that America and Russia are both largely bluster. Well equipped to be sure, but a fancy kitchen doesn't make a good cook.

Next target = Mariupol, and in a few years, Finland and the Baltic countries
Thank you for supporting polite way of discussion. We don't have to agree on everything but we should be polite and respectful of each other. This is the only way to have a meaningful conversation.
I hope you don't truly believe that. Because bullying of 3/4 of the world by 1/4 of ruthless colonial powers isn't something that you can call "innovation". And it didn't stopped because somebody said so and wrote some "corrected" history books about that. It still quite valid, it happens right now in Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan... There's countless countries with puppet governments controlled by colonial masters and acting in the interest of the masters and not their own people. It happened before and it will continue today. It didn't started from the "west", it's old like human nature itself and quite possibly might predate Roman Empire itself. But it is something that capitalist countries adapted quite well. Just look at the ongoing conflicts and look at the companies that getting their gain from it? Whom are they belong?
And surely you know the truth. Because you been there and saw it for yourself while Mr Puting were secretly supplying separatist forces with weapons. Maybe you saw him shooting down the plane too?
At least formal doubt would be in order. Saying that somebody is personally or indirectly responsible for such crimes while you don't have any proof might be considered disrespectful. And not to Mr Putin. I'm not a fanboy of Mr Putin but nowadays he is somehow personally responsible for everything. And while you hastily throwing accusations you forget that it's not a crusade against Putin or Russia. We need to stop murder of innocents, we need to find the truth and get war criminals to the trial. For the sake of those who suffered and already died from injustice. And it's not about your or mine personal likes or dislikes. It's not about some personal political interests either. We need to stop that worldwide violence because otherwise we just going to kill ourselves sooner or later in the last final war. And if we don't want that to happen - we need to stop "liberating" countries because they are not democratic enough, because they need our "help" with their resources, because they all "bad guys" and so on. It seems to me that our society started to forget lessons of WW2. Or just didn't learned anything at all.
This is an excellent post and pretty much sums up how I feel.
The Baltic countries are NATO members, Finland is an EU member and I'd like to think we have some friends in the West. I wonder if you are being sarcastic or do you actually mean you think it's a credible threat. Ukraine is under threat that is for sure, and we shouldn't let Russia get away with this imperialistic war. I still don't think Putin is crazy enough to try and contest with the West directly.
I repeat only the declarations of Poroshenko, for the Finland et the Baltic countries. For Mariupol, it is secret to anyone, of course

With the Crimea and the Syria, Putin has assured the geostrategic positions in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea

Kind of precariously though. That position is far from secure, and expensive to maintain.
Expensive, yes, but I do not see Putin to renounce his conquests. Perhaps his successors ?
