I got to ponder on this quote by John Lyly "all is fair in love and war", and it got me thinking: with the recent news on the attempt of the Russians to forcefully dominate Ukraine, who happen to be neighbors, if not "brothers" and I asked is it truely fair? Are they deserving of this hostile treatment?
Ukraine's population of 41.46 million people represents 0.66% of the world's population and funny enough, there are between 11-12 million ethnic Russians plus an approximate of 1.5 million who live in the Crimea.

Is Russia's behavior stemmed from an innate need to control or are they just being trouble makers?
