He’s not even pretending to be a do-gooder. He’s making it clear that he’s an enemy combatant.

Ted’s great on everything except for his support of a militant, interventionist foreign policy. That is not conservative. It is foolish and crazy.

Just your Libertarian spin.

According to Alex Jones, the “protesters” are Soros-funded Muslim Nazis, tools of the NWO.

And Alex Jones knows this how?

I see this post has brought out all the nut-job Libertarians.

I came down on the side of the Ukrainian resistance a few months ago when I read the issues. The Ukraine does NOT want to be part of a resurgent USSR under Putin. Putin offers them nothing but a heavy hand from Moscow. Freedom for a free state offers them autonomy in selecting their own allies, their own economy, and their own future.

They have a critical geopolitical location, huge resources, and a base of freedom loving people.

How anyone can be deceived by KGB graduate Vladimir Putin is beyond me. Most who are had the odd opinion that Vladimir was a savior just because he opposed Obama in Syria. Suddenly, because he was correct once, they started viewing him positively, and they tried to extend that to the Ukraine.

I’ve heard that Putin is worth 70 billion dollars. Anyone want to hazard a guess how he got that? Is he in the oil business? Caviar? What?

“Good Grief...now Cruz is going Liberal Globalist....”

Cruz is now supporting McCain -

John McCain tells Ukraine protesters: ‘We are here to support your just cause’

I’m not on Putin’s side. I think the Ukrainian people are being used as pawns and cannon fodder in a power struggle by two sides, neither of which is on Ukraine’s side.

Treebeard said in the LOTR, when asked which side he was on:

(Paraphrased)

I’m on no one’s side, because no on is on my side.

I would not be surprised a bit. In case nobody has noticed, not only is the US in debt out the wazoo, but we have more problems with what our own politicians are doing here than with anything going on in the Ukraine.

The people of Ukraine need to know that the free world stands with them

Well, no, actually they don't.

Not if by "stands with them" he means, actually DOING something when the Russian tanks roll in.

The chances of an effective German or US military response are less than zero, and a smart guy like Ted Cruz must know that.
