Phil > Ukranian problem is enough to split that country virtually in half. From what I have read, the Western section is pro West, the rest is solidly pro Russian Interesting to study the map where the Western part abuts Poland which is pro-US. infoukes.com I'm no Russian expert but I don't think the "democratization" of the Ukraine will lead to the destruction of Russia. The map shows that Russia will still have a large piece of coastline along the Black Sea and the Ukraine is a long way from the oil-producing areas of the Caucasus and Khazakstan. As you say, it will be very interesting to see how this plays out. In fact, the tacit struggle between Russia and the US over the Ukraine and Central Asian regions reminds me of the classic story about the fox and the rabbit. The fox is chasing the rabbit and the question is does he catch it? The answer is "no". And the reason is the rabbit is running for its life but the fox is only running for his lunch. Clearly, in this analogy, Russia is the rabbit.
