Be fair what should we do?
Way back in 1992, anyone with cursory knowledge knew if the issue of the Crimea wasn’t settled it would one day rear its’ ugly head.
Besides, we all know that this is Palin's fault with her coded messages telling Putin what to do!
1) oust the current regime in Washington DC
2) get the economy back on right footing by HUGE CUTS IN GOVERNMENT AND TAXES and letting the free market do what it does best: CREATE WEALTH,
2) Build the military back up once again to the world's strongest (weakness not strength invites war),
3) take down the NSA and other threats to American citizens
4) build up our intelligence community to make it first rate
If the Ukraine thing is still relevant after 1-4 is done...
5) with good and verified intelligence, we should covertly work with the forces of freedom in the Ukraine and discern whether eastern Ukraine wants to join Russia and whether western Ukraine doe not,
6) THEN, with actual and overwhelming force at our disposal, we should condemn Russia for threatening to invade the Ukraine and move forces into the area with full intention of defending those that want to remain free.
