To judge, wether the Ukraine is failing or not is quite difficult right now, as you can see in the News. The Ukraine as got a precarious standing - the Cold War hasn't ended for this Country, yet. Russia is the 2nd largest Exporter of military Goods (well, I mean Weapons LOL). Most of the Production Facilities are in the Ukraine, though. Russia has kept a policy of bleeding out this Country by not paying a lot for the Assembly, there - and demanding high Prices for their Natural Gas on the other Hand. With the now established Natural Gas-Lines Nabucco and Northstream as Alternatives, this Option is no longer available for Russia, resulting in Putin's "Charming Offensive" on the Ukraine. Many Ukrainians would rather like a Western Association (you can currently watch TV, to see that), but noone really knows, what happens, when this 2nd Revolution is succesful - and Putin stops beeing pollite...
Teaching Children how to wage War in a Situation like this makes me a bit uneasy.
P.S.:
I know, Germany is the 3rd largest Exporter of Weapons, and it may look a little schizophrenic to talk about Peace while selling Weapons in gigantic Amounts...
You might have already guessed: America is #1 on the Exporters' Ranking.
