Crimea, Turkey, Moscow: The report of a breach

Following the Moscow's attempt to attach Crimea to the territory of Russia, western countries have approved some sanctions against Russia. The western countries' action caused to place a part of their political credibility on a gambling table, entitled "Crimea". So, when no change is happened in the Crimea's situation, cancellation of these sanctions regime will be considered as a political failure for western countries. This failure not only will make Kremlin more assertive in pursuing its global policies, but also will make some allies of Russia that receded from the country due to these sanctions, closer to Russia; because these sanctions have damaged not only the political credibility of Moscow, but also the political credibility of Moscow's allies. 
Before continuation of the tensions, it had been declared that secret cooperation with Russia is invalid. But according to the received reports, (report-1,) some Europeans want to give away Crimea's affair to Moscow in exchange for creating disturbance and damaging Turkey via Russia. 
First, this behavior is considered as a violation and it will bring proper responses.
Secondly, submitting required information to Turkey is known as a possible option.
Thirdly, the order in Turkey as the only country that attempts to provide a moderate model about political Islam is required; and such a pattern in the present era is as important as the ideology of social democracy during Cold War.

Democratic Totalitarianism in Russia

Putin`s policy in Crimea is serious and disastrous indication of appearing extreme Nationalism as a disease. We`ll perceive that Russian`s policy implementation project is an answer to Russian`s demand, when thousands of Russians protest in support of Kremlin`s policies against Ukraine in Crimea.
Evidently, both Nazism and Fascism had protection of the mass of people, and had Democratic popularity. Thus, Russian Democracy wouldn't be adoptable to the international community, while reinforces the extreme nationalism base.  
Today, Putin`s policies violating international rights has protection of Russian under the care of nationalism. This would be a threat for world peace and constant security. In other words, this would make it onerous to controlling Russia and also balance of powers. Formation of plurality of the Russian nationalists’ thoughts can collapse these thoughts in Russia. This means that a new Russian nationalism thought would be created for competition with current Russian's nationalism thought which to be led by Putin.  
A brief search on Russia`s history presents the individuals and interesting movement for creating a pattern or socio-political model. For example, Decembrist revolt is one of the most adorable Russian's movements. Despite the fact that this movement had deeply Nationalism specifications, yet it had Internationalist specifications, too. Many individuals of the mentioned movement had constructor role in French revolution. Therefore, creating a national opposition that followed by revival of Decembrist dreams, can create a new face of Nationalism. However, the new face is Nationalism; it is west-oriented, too.
Plurality of opinions among Russian Nationalist groups will be the most important achievement of such opposition.
Before, plurality of opinions about Feminism, at the Third-wave Feminism caused to fall of growth and increasing development of this movement.  
The issue is still important in Russia, is that cause Russia to adopt or be influenced by the cultural, economic, or political systems of Europe or westernize it.
But only exporting western thoughts to Russia is not enough. Since, westernization of Russia is demand of its people and also the government. Even Lenin had wanted the same and said with these words: "First, we westernize Russia and then change Europe to Russia".
Putin is trying to achieve the same, Russian dream westernization of Russia, too.
So, if cultural units of American and Europe deny westernize Russia or even debases it, what will change in Russia due to western policy is not evidently dream of Russia.

European Version of the Monroe Doctrine

Events of the Orange Revolution and its fall clearly showed that European Union (EU) doesn't support poor European countries. But currently, Russia sells its gas to Ukraine for half the price of the market. It also frequently feeds the economy of this country by providing financial assistances. There's no doubt that these privileges wouldn't be given to a pro-western government in Ukraine.
But can the EU's supports, replace the Russian supports of Ukraine?!  
Events occurring after the Orange Revolution in Ukraine showed that the EU is reluctant to provide economic supports for a poor European country. Maybe it caused the triumph of the Russian government's pressure politics over Ukraine.  
On the other hand, the events of Greece and the decision making procedure of the EU concerning the economic support of that country showed that the foreign policies of the European Union is closely tied with economy.  
Even right now, it's the US government which is going to send an economic aid package for Ukraine and not the EU.
Certainly the political behavior of the EU regarding Ukraine contains a political message for the white house: The European Union doesn't need poor members or ailing economies such as Ukraine. 
The conflicts of interests of the US and the EU in the affairs of Europe cause the EU's lack of serious supports regarding the US foreign policies in Europe and also regarding Ukraine.
It seems that the implied modern doctrine or the strategy of the EU has replaced the classical doctrine of the white house in the affairs of Europe. According to the EU's implied doctrine, investment in a government is done for the return on investment and not for the goal of winning in a political competition.
