The USA one sided handling of the East Ukraine conflict is unfair to minority Russians in East Ukriane. Just remember, how USA intervene in ex-Yugoslavia republic that caused Yugoslavia to break up into few republics. In the Yugoslavia's conflict, the USA support separatism and now in the East Ukriane's issue, the USA is against the Russian minority separatism because the minority are pro-Russian. If I am a Russian living in Russia I will be anti-USA. However, I am not Russian.but I still sympathize the Russian minority in Ukriane. Many Americans probably will never understand traditional nationalism like that of the Russians or Germans. Russia is from a traditional empire just like that of Germany. The USA's patriotism or nationalism is a very different sort of nationalism. Many Americans are descendants of past and recent European's immigrants and will not be ready to die for the USA if USA wants to invade other country or intervene in other country's war. Most Americans only willing to sacrifice for the country when USA is being attacked. But many Russians, Japaneses or even Germans are ready to die for their own ancestor country if their country invades other country. Traditional nationalism is also the major cause of World War 1 and World War 2. Traditional nationalism will also cause World War 3 if the USA or Western Europe's provoking action on Russia gone too far. So I hope the USA do not try to inflame the nationalistic feeling of the Russians otherwise those Russians can be very aggressive like how they give themselves all up to defeat the Germans in World War 2.
