The political situation in the Ukraine is very complicated.\u00a0 For example, in 1944 Joseph Stalin deported about 200,000 Tartars from Crimea to the Ukraine.\u00a0 He believed they were Nazi collaborators.\u00a0 The Tartars have long memories and they have not forgotten.\u00a0 The Tartars view the ethnic Russians Putin is trying to protect in the Crimea as illegal occupiers.<\/p>\n

The following Wikipedia article provides some insight on the history of the tartars:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tatars<\/a><\/p>\n

Technically the correct name for the Tartars is the Tatars.\u00a0 One will note that the Tatars, like the Chechens, are Muslim.\u00a0 One will also note that they have been raising havoc since the days of Genghis Khan.\u00a0 The media, as always, is oblivious about this.\u00a0 The other night I had the opportunity to talk to a young Russian couple.\u00a0 I asked them about the Ukraine.\u00a0 The husband surprised me by saving some of the protests were saying things similar to what the Nazis believed.\u00a0 This couple was very pro-American and they were no fans of Putin.\u00a0 But they were genuinely concerned about some of the people leading those demonstration.\u00a0 So I did a little research and up popped the Tartars.\u00a0 Suddenly his comments started to make sense.<\/p>\n

I guess this shouldn\u2019t be a surprise.\u00a0 Every revolution probably has some people who should be feared.\u00a0 I wonder how many people realize that after the fall of the Tsars, Russia had a Republic.\u00a0 But what happened is that the communists were not interested in sharing power, they were only interested in seizing power.\u00a0 They continued fighting until ultimately they gained absolute power.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the reason, the invasion of the Crimea by Russia is bad news.\u00a0 It is clear that Putin is trying to increase power at the expense of the United States.\u00a0 It is also clear that Putin does not respect Barack Obama.\u00a0 Whatever happens it is unlikely to be in response to anything done by President Obama or Secretary of State Kerry.\u00a0 We should keep in mind that the reasoning used by Putin to invade Crimea is nearly identical to what Hitler used to justify invading the Sudetenland.<\/p>\n

But this is not 1938 and Vladimir Putin is not Adolph Hitler.\u00a0 He may dream of reviving the old Soviet Union, but his military isn\u2019t nearly strong enough to pull that off.\u00a0 Today he may have gained control of the Crimea, but he made a lot of enemies in the process. The most likely result in the Crimea is a full-fledged-civil war. \u00a0Putin may soon discover that the cost of maintaining control in Crimea may be more than he can bear.<\/p>\n

The only thing certain at this point is the biggest losers.\u00a0 That would be Barack Obama and John Kerry.\u00a0 They have been exposed as na\u00efve, inexperienced and worthless.\u00a0 The western countries, particularly those strong democracies who know full well the cost of being dominated by the Soviet Union will go to war with Putin.\u00a0 This will not be a shooting war, but it will be war.\u00a0 And in any war there will be casualties, lots of casualties.\u00a0 They will take it on, but they won\u2019t bother waiting for leadership from the United States.\u00a0 The most powerful nation in the history of the world is now mostly irrelevant.\u00a0 That may change in the future, but it won\u2019t change until the President of the United States is someone other than Barack Hussein Obama.<\/p>\n

The opposite of love is not hate, it is apathy.\u00a0 The world did not necessarily like us, but they respected us and they feared us.\u00a0 Now they just laugh at us and ignore us.\u00a0 In the meantime, whatever happens in Crimea, don\u2019t over-look the Tartars.\u00a0 People have been underestimating them for centuries.<\/p>\n
