Exactly. The US acts according to selfish interests, just like any other country. All the other talk about human rights, democracy and what not is mainly just silly talk for the public ear.

I'm from switzerland though and not ukraine so it doesn't concern me all that much, but i don't think anyone here expects russia to try and swallow any more terretory tha crimera. As far as i understand they did it to secure a military base and sea acces (or something) and the people there voted on it and seem to want to belong to russia. |
That's pretty much my own impression as well. No one here in germany seems to believe that Russia now tries to swallow any more land, but the yellow press like BILD seems to be doing the best they can to drive such fears, for example by showing maps that shall demonstrate in which order they might now take the rest of europe, or portraying Putin as "the next Hitler". It's completely ridiculous! Is the media coverage in switzerland better?
