What is it they are fighting for over there anyway?
The Eastern half of the Ukraine is Russian Orthodox, speaks Russian and is aligned with Russia and Vladimir Putin. The Western half is mostly Roman Catholic, speaks Ukrainian and is aligned with Western Europe. It is pretty much evenly divided with the Western half messed up when they were in power a few years ago which gave the Eastern half enough votes to take over. The government has a hard economic time because if they don’t do what Putin wants they get their gas turned off.
To make it as simple as possible, as with the rest of the world, the problem is with the mentality that goes with the word ORTHODOX. Like fundamentalism, evangelicalism, Jihad, Taliban and so forth. Where reality is bent by the firmament.
