Maybe we have no Stolichnaya we can pitch, but we can get our fingers out of the Roosky pie. Consider alternatives to the few Roosky products out there.

“What would the GOP do about Ukraine?”

What should the GOP do ANYTHING about Ukraine?

What should the Republicans do ANYTHING about Ukraine?

What should the Americans do ANYTHING about Ukraine?

Why should the United States care or spend money they have to borrow to do ANYTHING in Ukraine, 6,000 miles away from home?

WHAT’s the United States beef in Ukraine?

It’s past time that the US should start thinking about severing ties with NATO. It was created to deal with the problem of a war ravaged Europe facing a messianic revolutionary power. That situation no longer exists and NATO now is the ultimate entangling alliance that George Washington warned us about.

We should be a lot more concerned about Russian, Chinese, and Islamist movement into central and south America.

Buchanan, or his like, for President for the good of the USA. The GOP needs a war monger for President, like they need a nutcase.

The Russian Commie party that Putin worked fir as a KGB murderous agent in East Germany committed enthnic cleansing in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine .
They killed off or relocated millions of the original locals made up of Greeks and Turks and Ukrainian and Jews and then relocated Old Russian military retires and other good commie Russians to stop the unrest in these areas.
Catherine the great started the idea and the Putin crowd putting into hyper drive.
Pat B is first class nut-job for intentionally ignoring who Putin is and his real agenda is.

I think I am pointing out that this is serious. If Crimea couldn’t wait to get out, it sure didn’t look it till recently.

“Lock Kerry in a bathroom.”

Probably by far the best part of your suggestions. But you are right, the Ukraine is “none of our business”. The Russians shall continue to be Russians, and regardless of whatever social or economic schemes they adopt to keep the captured non-Russians as vassals, they will defend that hegemony to the death - either of all the subjugated people, or their own total annihilation.

Lots of tough guys on line hoping for a good war they can watch on TV. Too few of you are on a flight to fight your glorious war. The kind of people I call cowards.

The typical American taxpayer neither fights his own fires nor pursues armed criminals. That's why he pays taxes - so firefighters and policemen do it for him. The same analogy applies to military operations. If the American taxpayer wanted to fight all of the nation's wars on his own, the defense department should be disbanded and replaced with a levy that is imposed in military emergencies. Apart from average $5000 per capita tax imposed on the average taxpayer for having a defense department, in any confrontation with Russia, which has thousands of nuclear warheads mounted on missiles, the average American is risking his neck, as well as the necks of his entire family. To say that he is a coward for wanting Russia kept in check is more than an insult - it is factually wrong.

What was it Washington said in his farewell address about foreign entanglements? (And said, with great wisdom, about so many other things pertinent to our decline since then).

The question is, would this have happen if republicans were in charge.

And a good question it is.

If true Reagan philosophy Republicans had been in charge from the end of the Reagan Presidency until now, the answer is resoundingly no, this never would have happened.

And not because Reagan was strong, but because he was trustworthy. The Russians and Eastern Europe would not be reacting to empty threats of force and valid incidents of aggression, thievery, piracy and persecution of Christians.

Reagan didn't threaten force, he promised reasonably free market capitalistic growth, and he always kept his promises.

The American Socialist left has given rise to both the problem and the Neo-Con Faschista warmongers who won't have to risk their lives when they try to get tough with Putin.

We signed a treaty with them and Britain and old Yeltsin run Russia.

My understanding is that it was an "Agreement" not a ratified Treaty and carries significantly less obligation.

The founders sent the U. S. Navy to Africa. We have always had “foreign entanglements”.

NATO has worked pretty good the last 60 years. It’s foolish to discard it cavalierly in the face of fascistic aggression.

The only thing I can say is if Crimea “wants” to be co-opted, let it BE Russia’s baby then. It’ll figure out that the post-USSR Russia will rape it as bad as the pre-USSR Russia. Sometimes it takes a disaster to show that something is more than a “mere political move.”
