Diverting from the typical Western line against "Russia’s invasion of Crimea," former Ohio congressman and Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said it was driven by covert action by the United States.
Asked how he’d handle the tense standoff if he were president, Kucinich said the following:
"What I'd do is not have USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy working with U.S. taxpayers' money to knock off an elected government in Ukraine, which is what they did. I wouldn't try to force the people of Ukraine into a deal with NATO against their interest or into a deal with the European Union, which is against their economic interest."
"So, it's the USA's fault that Putin rolled in? We made them do it?" O'Reilly asked.
"Bill O'Reilly, if you don't believe in cause and effect, I don't know what I can do for you," Kucinich said.

Besides Ron Paul he seems to be the 2nd American politician who got some brains left.

I completely agree. I would have pushed for a Paul/Kucinich ticket if given the chance. I feel like real change could have been successful.

Had they run for office and won neither of them would have lived out their first term. Both of them spoke out too much against the Fed Reserve, the banks and Wall Street. Just look at the past presidents that took action against the Fed Reserve.

I would argue that preferring to ally with the west is most certainly and dramatically in their economic and political interest.
