>Every time since, western powers have been forced out, but have left behind devastation in their wake.<p>the history books I read said that the indomitable Russia people destroyed their lands ahead of the invaders so that they would not have enough food, supplies etc. to last out the Russian winter.
> The Americans are happy to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, and to sanction Russia to the last European with five Euros in his pocket. It bears the brunt of sanctions against Russia just like it has with sanctions on Iran.<p>This is what happens when a country doesn't have powerful, natural enemies around it. If Canada were China and Mexico were North Korea, the neocons in Washington would be changing their diapers so many time a day that they would not have time to plan ways of shedding blood on other continents.<p>After Serbia-Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and now Ukraine, I think the world should plead with the US to stop exporting "freedom and democracy" to their country. Henceforth, every leader who sees a foreign-funded color "revolution" in his country should treat it like the attempted coup that it is.
