For the last year we have been inundated with media stories dealing with Ukraine and its effects on American politics and decision making.
My God, why has Ukraine become so important to America?
In my view, there is absolutely no reason for it to have the significance that the media and America's leadership have given it.
If it is corrupt, just why is that America's problem?
If Russia assumes control over Crimea, as it historically often has, why is this America's problem?

as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic
