I condemn what Russia is doing. Violence is not the answer. However I do believe that the US meddled in Ukrainian democracy and used them as a pawn in their power games against Russia. The innocent Ukrainians pay the price either way. My comment was to point out the hypocrisy of Obama saying all these things. The criticisms of Putin he makes are true... But he should not be talking about Ukrainian democracy and sovereignty as his presidency literally orchestrated a coup against a democratically elected president in Ukraine to install what many felt was a puppet for the US. And that civil war led to thousands of Ukrainian deaths long before Russia invaded.
