5 Things to Know About Ukraine Lyrics by News Genius

0

1. Behind the scenes, Obama’s team was looking to “midwife” a new government in Ukraine, what some would call a “coup d’etat." Washington was also trying to get out in front of the European Union and Moscow to engineer the end game.
2. Washington’s “good guys” in Kiev weren’t so good. Moscow’s “good guys” in Crimea, likewise, aren’t so good. Despite what Presidents Obama and Putin assert.
3. There are these things called ‘fossil fuels.’ They’re pretty important, and governments care about their distribution and sale.
4. Crimea is strategically valuable to Russia. This is what countries with imperial-grade militaries do; they maintain their bases and their operational reach. Russia’s ties to Ukraine go back a long way.
5. There is no “No” vote on the Crimean secession referendum. You can vote “Not Yet,” which if pronounced quickly sounds like “Nyet.” But that’s as close as it gets.
