The ones I really feel sorry for are the Ukraine citizens.
They are caught between the ruthless (but recently bumbling) Putin and his voracious Oligarchs
on one side,
and big European interest$, the neocons and voracious entities like the IMF and World Bank,
on the other.

Talk about Charybdis and Scylla, rock and a hard place, etc.

I don't believe either side has Ukraine's interests in mind, and both see the Ukraine as a rich prize
to be won and exploited in a vicious, high-stakes global dog-eat-dog geopolitical brawl.
