Ukraine's Peace Plan is a sham.

President Poroshenko of Ukraine came up with the following plan:

1. Ukraine's separatists in the East are to lay down their arms;
2.  Those with 'no blood' on their hands will be amnestied. Who decides? The government;
3. There will be a narrow corridor for people to escape into Russia;
4. Hopes of greater autonomy and aid for Eastern Ukraine;
5. A one weak cease fire.

Problems:
1. There is no cease fire as the Ukrainian govt aims to wipe out the separatists.
2. 'Fighting while negotiating' was a strategy invented by the Communists. The Russians still remember.
3. Obama wants an enemy to stand against. Russia fits the bill.

Dangers.
1. Russia will begin attacks on a weakening Dollar;
2. Pushing on Russia will precipitate an attack on the Ukraine. They can not fight off the Russians.
