I just think it is wrong for a country to be divided into ethnic factions. It increases intolerance and hatred. Russia is wrong in it's intentions with the Crimean peninsula. There is no reason for it except strategic purposes as a gate way to increased tensions in the region and a further threat to independent nations.
It is unfortunate Russia is causing it's own problems. See, the problem is the independent nations want to pursue their own path and aren't being allowed to do so by oppressive powers in Russia. These countries are going to have to be allowed to develop their own national defense forces as neutrality is obviously not working. The post soviet states that do not want alignment with Russia are going to have to engage the idea of a joint military force. I don't see that they have a choice. Ultimately, they will have to become a part of NATO and that is what Russia was dreading. But, in fact has caused their own dread to become reality.
There needs to be regional summits to resolve ethnic tensions still existing within these countries. The summits have to include a special diplomatic focus to bring Abkhazia and South Ossetia to peace with Poland, otherwise, it is a breeding ground for escalation of tensions. I don't see the chronic violence and splitting of borders as a reasonable solution. It will only get worse from here. The tensions, besides the violence, will effect their economies, too. They have to provide a defense of diversity and find strength in their differences rather than a point for leveraging power.
Whatever happened to The World's Fair? Maybe we need a Eastern Europe Annual Fair and Marketplace.

The New York World's Fair of 1964 (click here) is dedicated to "Peace Through Understanding." Its glimpses of the world of tomorrow rule out thermonuclear warfare. And why not? If a thermonuclear war takes place, the future will not be worth discussing. So let the missiles slumber eternally on their pads and let us observe what may come in the nonatomized world of the future.
What is to come, through the fair's eyes at least, is wonderful. The direction in which man is traveling is viewed with buoyant hope, nowhere more so than at the General Electric pavilion. There the audience whirls through four scenes, each populated by cheerful, lifelike dummies that move and talk with a facility that, inside of a minute and a half, convinces you they are alive....
Now it is the Expo. Ooow, Milan. Nice. It is interesting to watch the video. These international venues are finding waterways as a method of security.
Expo 2015 is the next world's fair.(click here)
To be held in Milan, Italy, it will explore the theme "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life" for six months just northwest of the center of town. The exposition site covers 110 hectares (272 acres) and is expected to attract 29 million visitors from 01 May 2015 to 31 October 2015.
