		<description><![CDATA[According to all the maps I look at, Ukraine is about the only country left between advancing NATO forces and Russia proper.  Putin keeps his navy in the Black Sea.  Would you have him leave them exposed?

		<description><![CDATA[Bob, thank-you very much for your reply.  I think many
Europeans are now very worried about the influence
of Obama and his very corrupt government!  Yesterday
we followed the Putin&#039;s speech on the BBC whereby he stated that
the Kremin will not tolerate Neo-Nazi&#039;s and
Anti-Semities.  Since the fall of the Soviets, the  relation
between Netherlands and Russia has been restored
and we are working together...in every field! 
Obama and Kerry will not break our renewed
relationship with Russia.  We have been working so well
together in so many fields: music and other forms of
culture, medicine, agriculture, science and in
future space missions such as the missions to Mars.
Many government ministers and even more ordinary
citizens in Europe are very worried about the Islam
Take-over, and its support from your hysterical and incapable leader OBAMA.
PUTIN and his government will never let the Islam
take over Russia.!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What? Buffer zones are created for avoiding surprise attacks by the enemy, not the other way around. &quot;Buffer zone&quot; cannot possibly be created of the peninsula that has no ground border with the country supposedly needing one - like it is the case with Crimea. In addition to that, &quot;buffer zones&quot; are not created to get closer to the alleged enemy - this is the opposite of creating the &quot;buffer zone.&quot; This is the old orwellian schtick for morons like you - starting with calling so the division of Poland in 1939. Poland had been the &quot;buffer zone&quot; and both Hitler and Stalin would erase it. That&#039;s how the &quot;surprised&quot; attack of June 22, 1941 would become possible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Putin drew a &#039;red line&#039; and, unlike Obama, meant it when he said &quot;Don&#039;t cross it&quot;.  That&#039;s the limit of the buffer zone.


&quot;On Feb. 10, 1990, between 4 and 6:30 p.m., Genscher spoke with Shevardnadze. According to the German record of the conversation, which was only recently declassified, Genscher said: &quot;We are aware that NATO membership for a unified Germany raises complicated questions. For us, however, one thing is certain: NATO will not expand to the east.&quot; And because the conversion revolved mainly around East Germany, Genscher added explicitly:    &quot;As far as the non-expansion of NATO is concerned, this also applies in general.&quot;

I wonder how the Ukrainians will vote after a couple of years of IMF austerity --  Greek model, apparently.  They won&#039;t escape so easily from their very cold new poverty as the Crimeans, with those &#039;weapons-shields&#039;  shaped like a sickle around them.  No doubt they&#039;ll be getting a good hammering soon as the new National Guard, headed by Neo-Nazi Andriy Parubiy, and &#039;assisted&#039; by various NGOs and jihadi groups, swings into action to quell unrest.  

America has little to lose from harsh sanctions against Putin since it doesn&#039;t house all its oligarchs.  In fact, it has much to gain.  Too much fuel now I see, with your new tar sands.  Price is going down with no punters abroad.  Think of the wheat you could export to Europe if you cut off the supply from  Russia.  

Europe has no wish to shoot itself in the foot and will go easy, picking which non-entity will have his assets frozen and which will not, but  go no further.]]></description>

let me ask you though, in your opinion, have most Europeans finally awakened to how dangerous this muslim president is and how dangerous he is at making America weaker and enemies like Iran stronger? how destabilizing this is for the balance of world stability?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are so many inaccuracies in your version of history that I don&#039;t know where to begin. However, I&#039;ll point out a few of the major ones.

1. The Crimean Tartars of today are descendants from a mixture of European and Asia blood. &quot;The ethnicity of the Crimean Tatars is quite complex as it absorbed both nomadic Turkic and European components (including, at first, the Goths and the Genoese) which is still reflected in their appearance and language differences. A small enclave of the Karaylar, generally believed to be of Khazar (i.e. Turkic) descent practising Karaism, was founded in the 8th century.&quot;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Crimea#In_the_Russian_Empire:_1783.E2.80.931917 

2.  The word &quot;Crimea&quot; comes from the Crimean Tatar name Qırım via Golden Orde Mongolia Kherem, Kerm (Wall or Fortress) or via Greek Krimeía (Κριμαία).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Crimea#In_the_Russian_Empire:_1783.E2.80.9319173 .

3.  The Russians did not establish Kiev. It was the Vikings who came from the west including areas now comprising Sweden who were responsible. Prince Oleg, who was a Varangian (translated Viking), &quot;is credited with moving the capital of Rus&#039; from Novgorod the Great to Kiev and, in doing so, he laid the foundation of the powerful state of Kievan Rus&#039;.&quot;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_of_Novgorod 

4. &quot;The modern peoples of Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia all claim Kievan Rus&#039; as their cultural inheritance.&quot; 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27 
For you to claim Ukraine as the ancestral home of the Russian people would be news to the Ukrainian people themselves.
5. Putin does not disown Stalin. In fact, he admires Stalin. The Crimean Tartars have good reason to worry about their future under a Russian-controlled Crimea, given the past history of deportations etc. by Putin&#039;s hero.]]></description>

I always enjoy your columns, but this time you are dead wrong on Putin &amp; Crimea


@ Katya


I could not agree MORE with you!


Mr. Klein, you even dare to mention China ( how about Tibet? ).
The current &quot;regime&quot; in Kiev is illegal, the elected Government in Crimea is the
legal voice of the people there. When they want a referendum, let them have it.
Even if you, the EU and the USA do not like the outcome...


Let me refresh you memory about western style &quot; democracy(?)&quot;.
A very recent one. We had a referendum about the EU in France and in The Netherlands. Both countries are the( founding ) members of the EEC. Both outcomes were negative regarding the EU &quot;constitution&quot;....And what happened?
NOTHING. Brussels just steamrolled over it.
Why are we suddenly SO involved with and about the Crimea?
Two weeks ago NOBODY knew where the Crimea was located....now all of a sudden it&#039;s frontpage news on every newspaper and tv....Come on Mr. Klein.


Another month and nobody cares about the Crimea anymore.

<p>I always enjoy your columns, but this time you are dead wrong on Putin &amp; Crimea</p>
<p>@ Katya</p>
<p>I could not agree MORE with you!</p>
<p>Mr. Klein, you even dare to mention China ( how about Tibet? ).<br />
The current &#8220;regime&#8221; in Kiev is illegal, the elected Government in Crimea is the<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Joseph Klein, I think you need a little history lesson:

1. The presence of Muslim Tatars in Crimea DOES NOT precede the presence of Russians. Unless you think human history began in the 13th century AD, you should probably know by now that the Russians have been living in Crimea and most of the Ukraine (including Kiev) since the 9th century AD. In fact, it was the Russians who established and built the modern day city of Kiev. The Ukraine, including the Crimean peninsula, is the ancestral homeland of the Russian people. From there, the Russian nation emerged in the 9th century in the form of the Kievan Rus confederacy.

Read all about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27

Hopefully you now realize that the Russians have lived in Crimea LONG BEFORE the arrival of the Turko-Mongol (Tatar) invaders during the 13 century.

2. Moreover, the Turko-Mongols (Tatars) were responsible for DESTROYING the Kievan Rus state in the 13th century. The Turko-Mongols (Tatars) were part of the Golden Horde khanate, which was a successor state of the Mongol empire that was responsible for invading Europe and laying waste to many European towns and cities.

Again, you can read about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasion_of_Rus%27

And here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tatar_and_Mongol_raids_against_Rus%27



3. It&#039;s not just about the Tatar slave trade. Slavery was the least of their crimes. The Tatars were notorious for committing wholesale massacres against their captured populations. Even Muslim Arab and Persian historical writers mentioned the unorthodox methods that Turko-Mongols used when waging wars against their enemies. These genocidal techniques were unusual, even by medieval standards, which explains why it left many people in BOTH Europe and the Middle East in total shock by the cruelty of these invading nomads. 


-----------------


So what&#039;s my whole point?


1. Contrary to your preposterous claims, the Muslim Tatars of Crimea are not indigenous to the region. They are Turko-Mongol, non-European invaders who have no legitimate claim over the land that they currently inhabit. As far as most people are concerned, they&#039;re guests and are welcomed to stay in Crimea, but they&#039;re not the natives of Crimea and have no legitimacy over that land. 


2. The Russians have more legitimacy over Crimea than any other existing ethnic group in the region. There&#039;s no existing ethnic group that has better legitimacy over Crimea than the Russians.


3. The western sympathy for Crimean Tatars is laughable. To blame the Russians for what Stalin did is unjust to the Russians because they were also victims of Stalin&#039;s mass deportations. Furthermore, Stalin wasn&#039;t even Russian. The western attempt to support Crimean Tatars is equivalent to giving support to a nation that wants to destroy you. It is illogical and reckless. Lastly, if anyone wants to offer sympathy to the Tatars for historical injustices, then let&#039;s go ahead and offer MORE sympathy to the Russians and other Slavs for the barbaric crimes that were committed by the Tatars since the Mongol conquests.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bravo Fly !!!!  I am writing to you from Netherlands.  Your commentar is the  best I have read so far. We in  Europe are not happy with Kosovo, and do not want to have another
Islam state created in Europe.  We are indeed fed up with Obama
and Kerry...whenever did they every show any interest in Europe
or European affairs...up until now!!!   
We are glad that we have Putin who will never sit still to allow more
Islam terrorism in Russia.  We are very worried about the weakened
state that America now is in!
Are you going to take part in, or support American Spring 2014
in Washington, on May 16th?  I wish I could join you, but I all I can do
is wish you all much success in all your plans to show the world
that Obama and Kerry do not rule the world!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s the Russians who have thousands of troops all over Crimea intimidating anyone who dissents from their party line, not the U.S. or the EU. A referendum held under such intimidating conditions is a phony referendum.  

And, according to Vatican Radio, it is the pro-Russian forces whom abducted a pastor and a Ukrainian military chaplain after celebrating the liturgy. &quot;Earlier this month, Ukrainian Greek Catholic priests received oral and written threats warning them to leave Crimea.&quot; http://www.news.va/en/news/ukrainian-greek-catholic-priest-abducted-in-crimea  

According to another report, the last thing the abducted pastor Mykola Kvych managed to say was: “If I do not get in the touch anymore, then please report: they are smashing in the doors of my appartment on Khrustalyova street. They are the police and pro-russian “self-defense”, there are many of them, I have metal doors, but I do not know how long they will stand. “
