Civil War in Ukraine?

As soon as the Winter Olympics finished, Russia found Ukraine moving rapidly to the west. Russia then took annexed Crimea to get to Ukraine and Russia has now been trying to reassert their dominance in their relationship with Ukraine by destabilizing them. They are now trying to destabilize Ukraine through local supporters, local sympathizers,and probably using a lot of money and perhaps some special ops. Russia is trying to destabilize the east so that they can create a civil war and then move in to help stop the civil war that they secretly started. The Ukrainian government asked Russian Leader Vladimir Putin to move "Peacekeeping Troops" into eastern Ukraine. However, the U.S., NATO, and members of the European Union have warned Russia not to move into Ukraine. This could possibly lead into a massive war between to two countries or it could end up in the annexation of Ukraine into Russia, which is what Putin wants. If Russia Annexes Ukraine, Russia would be breaking one of the great global rules.

This is considered to be the most significant geopolitical crisis since the end of the Cold War. Personally, I think Russia should not annex Ukraine because that could cause global outbreaks and then other world powers would break the same rule that Russia did and many of the smaller countries would not stand a chance. Do you think Russia should send "Peacekeeping Troops" into Ukraine? Should Russia Annex Ukraine? What do you think the U.S. and NATO do if Russia does Annex Ukraine?

  • Good job!!

  • The idea of peace keeping troops is garbage. Russia just wants to move forces into the Ukraine. They should not be allowed to do this.

  • Russia should listen to us and stay out Ukraine, or else I don't think we could do anything but act. I hope they can settle without war.

    • I agree, anything would be better than settling this with war.

  • I think that they shouldn't annex the Ukraine. I hope they don't do anything that could cause a possible outbreak of war. The last thing we need is another war. 

  • No i dont caz we should not have anthoer wat i think the us will get involed

  • I don't think Russia should annex Ukraine, It would have a chance of starting WWIII. and nobody wants that. I think that the only thing US and NATO will do to Russia would be put economic sanctions, because if they sent troops over there it would definitely start a war.

    • I agree, Russia should have sanctions put on them.

  • The U.S will do anything they can to stop this war.

  • This seems to be a very complicated situation. I agree with you that it seems like the cold war. I don't think troops should be put in Ukraine because I think it would just cause more problems.
