Let's walk away from the Ukraine and let Putin deal with this nation.

Edward Snowden has told Putin everything about the CIA's involvement in the Ukraine destabilizing the government of the duly elected President who was Putin's man.

It's that simple. 

The CIA screwed up in this one case.  They normally do a terrific job.

This is not a big deal.  Let's admit our error publically and go forward.  

Our spectacular way of life in the USA is rich based on our use of 35% of natural resources for just 5% of the world population.

Time to walk away from this and fight better battles.   The Ukrainians are the toughest negotiators in the world.  Putin will regret bringing them into his fold with this country paying 30% of the going rate for Russia's gas and oil.

The USA will have to shoulder this expense otherwise.   We have enough people under the poverty line freezing in the dark.
