2014 rhymes with 1914.

We've got no alliance with the Ukraine. For Russia, 2014 might rhyme with 1979, when they invaded Afghanistan. If we feed a few billion a year to the Ukrainians, they'll give the Russians a run for their money, and maybe even push them back across the border. I bet our Stingers are much improved from the 1980's models. LAW's are kinda idiot-proof. There's also heaps of mothballed Soviet surplus weaponry and ammo we could buy on the cheap from ex-Warsaw Pact (now NATO) members and ship to Ukraine. Bottom line is that we get to do to the Russkies what they did to us in Korea and Vietnam all over again. We lost 100K dead in those two conflicts whereas they only lost 13K in Afghanistan. If they invade Ukraine, it's an opportunity to even up the score a little, while helping a future NATO ally out of a tight spot.

Yeah, that’s a fine idea. Lets spend Billions we don’t have, to try to create a war right on Moscow’s very doorstep, to get revenge for something over 60 years ago.
That’s some strategy there.
Sounds like someone who hasn’t been in a war in a personal way.

There may not be treaties like in 1914, but this may be even more important that treaties.

Zero chance of us doing that today, none at all.
