At this rate you can find a lot wrong the American Revolution too. Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have happened. There’s always corruption until Jesus comes back.

In the immediate near term, it’s better for Ukraine to pull through this. Please get a grip.

Understand, I’m not saying that I think Putin made a good move here. In fact, I don’t think he did. He should have limited himself to recognizing the two eastern breakaway provinces and sending in peacekeepers. He could have defended that citing the example of NATO in Kosovo and it would have been impossible for the Neocons to make a good argument against it. Russian troops were welcomed in those places and not a shot was fired.

That said, it was entirely predictable that Russia would not be willing to tolerate a large resource rich country like Ukraine with historic ties to Russia and with a sizable ethnic Russian minority to become a potential launch pad for further NATO expansion or for destabilizing/threatening Russia. The Deep State got called on their skullduggery and now they’re trying to up the ante by getting us involved directly against a nuclear armed state in a country in which we have no significant national interests.

This is a chance for Europe to step to the plate and deal with a problem on it's own continent without any interference from the mean old United States. So here's your moment to shine EU, show the world you can handle this.
