I don't want to detract one ounce of moral responsibility from Russia for all the killing. But it is also true that the West has created one fine mess in Ukraine and now is in an highly uncomfortable situation where it cannot allow Russia to be triumphant but on the other hand it cannot let this war escalate further. And somewhere along this fine line many more thousands will die before this thing is over. The West's cunning little plan to expand NATO right up to Russia's border, devised by such visionary and honorable men like Barack Obama, blew up right in our face and now we're forced to admit that, in the end, Ukraine isn't worth THAT much to us.
