In response to reports of a Russian takeover in parts of Crimea, Arizona Senator John McCain said on Friday, We are all Ukrainians, before calling for swift U.S. economic aid to Ukraine, condemnation of Russia at the United Nations, sanctions against Russian officials and the installation of U.S. missiles in the nearby Czech Republic.For once, everything McCain said makes perfect sense, including material aid to the Ukrainians to help them hold off the Russians. We have here a second opportunity to bleed the Russians (and repay them for the 100K GI's killed in the Korean and Vietnam Wars), while cementing relations with a future ally that is also the breadbasket of Europe.

We cannot financially afford to bleed the Russians at this time.

Question: What is America's proper role, internationally?
Is is defending our national interests?
Or is it expanding our influence?

You are right, but this forum has deteriorated to the point where it responds to personalities (the Entertainment Tonight/InTouch magazine syndrome) instead of to the ideas. Frankly, it shouldn’t matter who says that the sky is blue. But that’s just me.
