   Spaniard here. I rememeber Balkan War in the Elementary school.   
   We sent tuna cans to Bosnian kids and that's it.   
   Hope the conflict stays local and much better, it doesn't   
   even start. If most Crimeans fell Russians, ok, stay   
   being part of Russian Federation, but the rest of Ukraine   
   has no sense for Russia.
