Russian Bear up to Old Tricks

Fire of Liberty

It looks like Ukraine is trying its best to deal with the Russian Bear but Putin and his ministers are still playing their games with members of Ukraine newly elected government. The current dust up has to do with Ukrainian PM Yulia Tymoshenko canceling here trip to Moscow the after the Russian prosecutor-general claiming that she was wanted for corruption by the Russian authorities. As with other aspects of law and order in Russia, I can assure you that these charges are probably trumped up by the Putin government to enact revenge on the Orange Revolution that resulted in the lose of Russia favored candidate, Victor Yanukovych. While its good to have relations with Russia, I think the Ukrainians should focus the sights westward. At least we won't bite.
