Question for everyone who wants us to “do something”. Just what do you propose? The world has changed. Two nuclear powers are not going to have another tank battle on the plains.
The US is broke, the military stretched thin, and there is no way we can do anything to stop Russia. Obama is an incompetent boob, but you would not see any president get into it with Russia over the Ukraine.
Czech television is reporting that Poland has begun moving military assets to the Ukrainian border, including armor.
So while Obama may not do anything, Poland just might. And maybe Hungary and Slovakia as well.
You would not have seen Putin be so bold under the foreign policy of a Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush or even a George HW Bush. No other President who had spent their entire administration putting American interests #1 would not have gotten into this situation in the first place.
“Question for everyone who wants us to “do something”. Just what do you propose?”
Pining, you are dead on correct.
I am hearing nothing but knee-jerk criticism of Zero.
Has the Right forgotten when he wanted to get tough with Syria, most on the Right wanted to back off and let them figure it out? Why not in this case too? Are we actuallly threatened?
Has anyone considered that Putin may actually have legitimate reasons for protecting his interests against an illegitmate neighbor? Is the 1994 accord still valid, given the government is gone? Hasn’t the US done the same thing in Iraq and Afghanistan? Did we go to war in Kuwait to protect outr oil supply, as Putin is for their pipelines here?
Yes, 0bama is the worst President and an a-clown, but this is not about him.
What does a broke nation do at this point?
