Ukraine (closed; covers till August 2014)

[JMA]

JMA, this is what happened after Georgia-RF war http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/...14885620080920

Yes France rolled over:

Not a single project has been put off or suspended between France and Russia in the wake of the Georgia conflict.

Only the French can turn cowardly appeasement into a virtue.

... but all is not lost. The French are not as dumb as the sometimes behave:

In Ukraine crisis, Germany and France see ghosts of European nationalism that led to the First World War

France’s Prime Minister Manuel Valls called the Ukraine crisis “probably the greatest risk to peace and stability in Europe since the Iron Curtain came down.”

Oh really? LOL it took sometime for our French friends to figure that out... now we wait for the penny to drop with the yanks.

... but then again we are told that peace and stability in Europe is no longer an important issue for the US...
