National Post readers respond to the question: Should Canada intervene in Ukraine? <http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/letters/todays-letters-supporting-ukraine-canada-needs-to-stand-up-for-democracy-and-the-rule-of-law> View on news.nationalpost.com Preview by Yahoo <http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/letters/todays-letters-supporting-ukraine-canada-needs-to-stand-up-for-democracy-and-the-rule-of-law> http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/letters/todays-letters-supporting-ukraine-canada-needs-to-stand-up-for-democracy-and-the-rule-of-law Realpolitik rules * Canada should intervene in Ukraine by advising President Peter Porochenko to follow Canada’s example of how to live with a powerful neighbour and to acknowledge more than one official language. Ukrainians should accept they share a common history and border with Russia; that it is their biggest customer and provides them with needed gas and oil. It should beware of empty promises from countries outside the region who are simply using Ukraine to forward their own foreign policy objectives. Like Canada, Ukraine can be independent, but at the same time protect its national interest by not provoking or unnecessarily antagonizing its big neighbour. Geography in the long run dictates what side you should chose.
