Ukraine is not a vital interest of the US. Its a country historically in Russia’s backyard. This is not even Eastern Europe.
People who imagine Russia will sacrifice its interests at the behest of a Western demarche are living in a dream world. We forget its a nuclear superpower.
And if the Bear wants to sit there, how are we going to push him off? The neo faux Cold Warriors have lost all touch with reality.
So when they move into Eastern Ukraine, then Western Ukraine and then Poland, will you then get the picture?
I'd disagree with that, but so what? It's just semantics. Putin and Crimea is a problem for the Europeans, and we should butt out. But we probably won't.
In contrast, we invaded Grenada to "save" a few medical students and Panama to overthrow a dictator. I'm not losing sleep over the Ukraine.
