So before we accuse Russia and Putin for intervene in Ukriane, we must also look at what causes that East Ukriane's conflict. The crisis was largely due to the Ukraine government who try to build a NATO camp near Russia and allied with the Western Europe. Of course, Russia will not accepted NATO forces at their doorstep. Also, Ukriane's government try to make Russian language less important in Ukriane. The Ukriane's issue is a complicated one as we need to take care of both the minority Russians and majority Ukrainians in Ukriane. Both claim to be right but actually is the Ukriane's government at fault first. I do not support Putin but I have more sympathy for the minority Russians in East Ukriane. The Western European countries should recognize and respect the right of East Ukraine's Russians to have independence or autonomy and even their choice to join Russia. I can again say many Americans will not understand the pain of being the large minority Russian ethnic people in a territory formerly belong to their ancestor country Russia. If the world understand each other more then conflict can be prevented.
