   Occupation of a country is generally a bad idea when you do not have support   
   of the nation occupied.   
   The USA is believed to have spent 2,000 billion (2 million million) dollars in   
   Afghanistan during 20 year   
   long occupation and failed.   
   The "democratic" government they supported collapsed within a week after   
   international troops left.   
      
   This is not such ancient history, but also not too recent that wise people   
   couldn't learn from it.   
      
   At best it will be a disaster for Russia, because the spirit of a nation   
   cannot be crushed.   
   Nations have the right for self-determination according to the UN chapters,   
   and Mr. Vladimir VladimiroviÄ   
      
   Putin is dead wrong when he says there is no such thing as the Ukrainian   
   nation.   
      
   We had such ideology with Mr. Slobodan MiloÅ¡ević and Serbian SANU (Academy   
   of Sciences and Arts)   
   with the "scourged ground" tactics of warfare and all out concentration camps   
   with torture and genocides   
   like Srebrenica, siege of Sarajevo and Vukovar etc. We know very well what is   
   behind the ideology that   
   one nation doesn't exist. It means complete assimilation and elimination of   
   those who are danger to the   
   assimilation concept.   
      
   We have tried that and we are sure this is the case, not the idea of Holy   
   Russia, that would inevitable   
   include ban on abortion and divorce (except for marital infidelity).   
      
   Thus far, Mr. Putin is only interested in military supremacy, realm of   
   influence and domination, and Russian   
   increased "Lebensraum".   
      
   in the Lord   
   Amen
