Ride from the sound of the guns, Pat.

Unfortunately isolationism for the US isn’t in the cards, so we have to counter Russia or run up the white flag. In other words, use it or lose it. (Power, that is.)

What if Russia puts tanks on the border of Estonia? What if Russia rolls on Estonia, what will happen then?

I’ll tell you exactly what will happen. Buchanan will publish an op-ed defending it. Thats what will happen.

He asks all the right questions but comes to all the wrong conclusions.

[Smokin' Joe]

If we proceed on a course of isolating Russia from the West, keeping her out of the World Trade Organization, throwing her out of the G-8 and ending cooperation with NATO, where do we think Russia will go?

Right where they are, and then some.

[LasVegasMac]

or our unprovoked war on Saddam Hussein's Iraq,

Stopped reading after that.

Why post crap like this?

Useless waste of bandwidth, you give legs to the POS author's intent.......

It's crap, nothing more.

"Would we send U.S. troops into the Baltic republics to signal that we will fight Russia to honor our NATO war guarantees? Which NATO allies would fight alongside us against a nuclear-armed Russia?"

"If we bring Ukraine into NATO, what do we do if Russified east Ukraine secedes and Russia sends troops to back the rebels? Do we send warships into Russia's bathtub, the Black Sea, and commit to fight as long as it takes to restore Ukraine's territorial integrity?"

I seem to remember that Italy started out as an ally of Imperial Germany in 1914, but then switched sides after the British, French, and Russians offered Italian Prime Minister Antonio Salandra large territorial concessions in the Balkans out of Austria-Hungary's corpse once the war was over. In 1917, Lenin revealed the secret deal to embarrass the Allies, which ultimately reneged on their deal in 1919 much to Italy's fury. Hardly faithful Allies, on all sides.

Pat better go back and read some more history before writing drivel like this.

Is Buchanan now working for Gazprom?

[DB]

In Buchanan’s world free people should be enslaved just because the neighborhood bully wants his due.

Would someone please get Pat a CT scan? I swear he’s got a brain tumor.

[NicknamedBob]

Just change your shorts, Pat, and drink something bracing.

While it is unlikely that we'd ever, in the long run, be good buddies with Putin, it is most unfortunate that we chose to intervene in Kosovo, at least in the way we did, thus adding fuel to his anti-western and paranoia based expansionist agenda. The Kosovo conflict was an opportunity missed. Funny, Clinton was then at the helm.

So, just digging into the WWII comparison a bit, would Pat have advocated sending Americans to fight in Europe against Hitler's Nazi Germany? And after we defeated Hitler's Nazis, would Pat have suggested we joint NATO and fight the communist Soviets in Korea, Vietnam and the rest of the cold war? And what of the former Soviet states, was it better for us to do nothing while Poland, Hungary and the rest were overrun by the Soviet Union? Given his stance on fighting the islamocrazies, I'm guessing he'd say it's not our problem, they are not our problem, the world is not our problem.

The name Pat Buchanan brings this to mind ( I hate Illinois Nazis):
