| Not quite as clear-cut as this. |

In recent days I have published two articles attempting to explain what is going on in Ukraine and the implications for White nationalists worldwide.
Events have since appeared to be spiralling out of control and following the realisation that back in 1994, Britain and the USA had signed a treaty with Ukraine guaranteeing her territorial integrity, there was a period over last weekend during which we were possibly on the brink of World War Three.
Thankfully, it appears that despite the bombastic rhetoric not even Cameron and Obama are stupid enough to declare war on Russia and all they have so far threatened Russia with are trade sanctions and political isolation. This moderate line reflects two things: firstly, that Western leaders have no stomach for a war with a country as well armed and economically powerful as Russia; and secondly, in their hearts they know that Putin has acted in a measured way to the growing crisis, taking only the minimum steps necessary in order to protect Russia’s vital strategic interests.
