What? Russia has tens of thousands of refugees who were bombed out of their homes by "their" government in Kiev. I'd think that Putin has a right, perhaps an obligation, to make their homeland safe for their return.

Just like the US would have the right (if we chose to do so) to make northern Mexico safe so the invaders into the US could return there. (Instead, Obama wants to get involved in eastern Ukraine.) Anyone who had the guts could make eastern Syria safe for Syrian refugees to return. The Iraqi Kurds are helping outside their borders, aren't they? etc

Isn't Israel going into Palestine pretty much the same situation?

Really, the DC crowd and the military analysts should SHUT UP about anything except how to secure OUR southern border.

These people fled the war between Ukraine military and Russian military including Putin’s proxy army of Russian rebels fighting in eastern Ukraine.

So Putin invades Ukraine and starts a war and in your mind he has right to continue that invasion and war because people are fleeing the war Putin started, got ya!
