The new Ukrainian government says it has been invaded by Russia, and has appealed for the United States and United Kingdom to protect it, as they guaranteed under a 1994 agreement.
The move came after pro-Russian gunmen seized both main airports on the Crimean Peninsula early Friday, a day after other militiamen took control of the regional parliament building. With gunmen in the building and the Russian flag flying from the roof, deputies appointed a new government and passed a motion Thursday calling for a referendum on the future as part of Ukraine.

How many?
The US likely won’t lift a finger
obama and biden are more interested running through the white crib doing their "let's move" mantra. Buncha three year olds. disgusting.
See bozo run, run bozo , run.
Putin must be LHAO at US.
Sorry Ukraine...you’re on your own. We Americans are too busy watching our country circle the bowl to do anything to help you.
Time for a golf trip and into bed very early at night!
The ironic thing is that in 1994 the US, Britain and Russia signed a treaty with Ukraine to come to Ukraine’s aid if they were attacked as an inducement to give up their nukes.So now Russia is on the precipice of attacking them and we are on the precipice of backing away.So much for treaties. Would Russia be messing with them if the Ukies still had nuclear tipped missiles in their silos?
Sorry. Can’t help. Busy downsizing our military to pre WWII ;evels.
Shoot yeah!
Isn’t Kerry the war hero?
He can probably defeat the Russkies single handed!
(like his weaker cousin, Rambo!)
When the O_tard is gone, (hopefully sooner than later) we should rebuild our military with State Guards not full time military answering to DC.
I am an old fart, but would gladly sign on to defend the State of TX. Buy my own weapon and ammo and give my time to train. Yep, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
It is Time to DownSize DC! Close entire Rogue/Unconstitutional Departments including their SWAT Teams. BUT NOT the US Military. If there is a function that the US Constitution gave to the Fed Gov, it was National Defence.
The sad part is that the government can “call up” the guard, federalize them and take over them. If you remember George Wallace standing in the doors of the University of Alabama, and LBJ federalized the guard with Wallace and they walked across and stood behind the FBI guys. Then Wallace surrounded himself with State Troopers. So, that is what the Sultan of Sodom on the Potomac would probably do.
NOPE, not the “State Guard”.
They can the National Guard.
And at least one Lt. Governor candidate in TX has already suggested enlarging the State Guard to help Secure the Border. He is serious about that.
But your statement is correct about the “National Guard and Reserve”.
There is currently a very small Texas State Guard. Has largely been inactive for many years.
Ukraine has been partitioned.
Already?
What? Where?....ummmm no thanks.
That’s a good idea.
How do we apply that here?
California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas should be in Mexico?
All of the states around the great lakes go to Canada, eh?
Florida should be annexed by Cuba.
All of the northeast can go to Russia. That region can be known as, New Ukraine.
That is correct. I assume also that national defense does not include using the US military for the benefit of George Soros, the Rothschilds, or Monsanto in places like Libya or the Ukraine...
Agreed.
Keep the Rothschilds out of this. We have our hands full in S. America at the moment.
How much conflict is caused by these arbitrary borders set up by imperialists and communists in the 20th century? Ukraine isn't a nation. Iraq is three nations, it isn't a country for goodness sake (Biden actually got that right, then shut up). Just about all of Africa has borders that are totally irrelevant to tribal loyalties. Heck, I bet a large % of Africans don't know what "country" they live in. But they know their tribe! And we tell them to have democratic elections based on issues?
And of course, the shooting in Europe in WWII started over bogus borders drawn up after WWI.
I’m tired of watching Americans suffer and die for nations that hate us....
