John Brown OK, "they" ('em russkies) can have Crimea, but "we're" (we 'Merikans) are taking back (too imperialistic-sounding words?) Cuba -- one of the great, understated achievements of BO's foreign policy.
Is the USG neglecting Crime-a/Ukraine? Well, not?
Eastern Europe has real interests in that part of the world -- especially in term of taking in Ukrainian/Russian refugees; its leaders react to them as negligently as Arizona reacts to "illegals."
But we Americans, with all our domestic concerns, in the post-cold war world, have better things to worry about that a corner of Europe which is unable to define/get along itself. A bit like the Middle East.
And hey, Cuba is right off our U.S.-Cuban common coasts -- Cuba being a proud, talented, productive country oppressed by stupidity for decades by "policymakers" on both sides of the ideological/geopolitical fence.
We have real interests with the people of Cuba (just ask Miami taxpayers). As for Crime-a, how many Americans can find it on a map ... Of course not ... and why should we, frankly ...
Let the Russians/Urainians handle a waterless economic disaster (I bet you many Ukrainians are just [secretly?] as happy to have that peninsula, which "actually" belongs to the Tartars (the "Muscovites"), off their hands).
