He is not really going to promote humanitarian goals in Eastern Ukraine, he is going over there to take back Ukraine and make it part of Russia.

Putin is the center of all of this. He sees himself as the modern day Peter the Great.

What is another 6 months going to do that we couldn't do in the first 6?

If you are our best friend, we are going to keep our thumb on you and control what we want.
