Where’s Europe when Russia seeps into her eastern edge? Why is it only our problem to take on all of Russia? I am all for intervention, all for Iraq and etc., all for flexing our muscles. But if we send troops to every hotspot and no one else does, it is wishful thinking...
Oh I think Europe is right with us on this one. All the way.
The Baltics, France and even now Germany. Poland and Ukraine.
You betcha Europe is watching, and the Russian news is very disheartening.
From their actions, it's apparent that Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics recognize the threat. It's to their sovereignty, of course. As they're willing to act, they deserve our support.
The rest of Europe, though, is either cowering or somnolent. But that's their nature.
It is not just a ‘hot spot’; it is a Democracy. . .and Russia cannot be allowed to turn the clock back against time and ‘enlightenment’ and erase and absorb a country that is a Democracy. War is not the only answer here; but Bush and those who support Freedom in our world had better be preparing initiatives of some import here. Freedom means everything. . .and those who have it are obligated to to whatever they must to protect a Democracy under attack. Or so goes the world to tyranny.
You would think that Europe would want to continue having a Pro-western government controlling the pipeline that brings them oil. I am perplexed by their fear.
