Let them. It’s not worth WWIII. Let Germany handle it.
If Germany, France, Poland, etc, will do nothing, tell me why we should.
Ukraine has had a Russian puppet regime for a decade until last year. Once Ukraine finally threw off that yoke, the Russians invaded.
As much as I’d like to see Ukraine integrated with the West, it is asking a lot with Russia being right there and Crimea being the staging ground for the navy.
Russia would be a lot weaker without the Black Sea fleet.
...docile? The Obama administration is far less than docile; the administration is gravitating towards complete mediocrity....but managing to make apologys for various Islamic events of be-headings, rapes, throwing acid in women's faces....Obama's earliest memories are of the 'beautiful' Islamic call to prayer.....were this a white president or under English law, he would......but I repeat myself. Indeed, we are a nation of cowards.
I think we all want to help Ukraine, but I think, for the US to enter the fight militarily it would be disastrous.
For starters, how could our Navy enter the Black Sea to come to their aid? The Russians own the Black Sea, for heaven’s sake, its a Russian lake crawling with Russian Navy vessels. The entrance into the Black Sea from the Med is a very narrow slot, easy to close.
And that’s just the Naval side of this. The land mass of Asia on on the side of the Russians, the Ukraine is their back yard.
Something I haven’t seen mention of,
When Russian supported troops come in to an area are they being welcomed or are the locals mucking up the works to make it difficult?
The question before the house is, "Who?"
The Germans gave it a shot in 1941-43 and totally screwed it up. America is far, far away. Russia is right there, and, unlike America and Germany is willing to fight for it.
Not too hard to figure out, is it?
