Sooner of later Russia will be stopped. Question is: Is it easier to do now or will it be easier later?
I am assuming you are saying “Hell No” to the military option?
I have kept quiet on Ukraine but I do not think Russia will stop at the Ukraine. If Obama does not stop Russia now who will stop Russia tomorrow? You do know that Russia surprised us with its navy in Cuba just three weeks ago, right?

On Wednesday in Moscow, the defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, said Russia planned to increase its military projection abroad, including in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.
We went into their backyard, why are you shocked they would respond in kind.
A “Real” President would, as one of his first priorities, sit down with Russia, and say, “Look, you have interests, we have interests, let’s draw the line so that we both can get what we want.” That means to a degree, we resist the urge to get involved in certain parts of the world.
One of the problems, maybe the biggest, is that we really don’t have a foreign policy, we make it up as we go along...Nobody can predict what we are going to do.
That’s not good when you are dealing with people as paranoid as the Russians.
How about if we deal with Russia in our pat of the globe and Europe deals with them in their part?
I just cannot get over the question of why we never ever ever too Europeans to tend to their own problems.
Will someone explain to me why we have to always and forever babysit Europe? Why can’t Europeans handle their own defense? Is it a genetic mutation or what?
You would think after WWI and WWII Europe would get a clue and keep a large military on hand. Maybe they need their asses whooped a THIRD time before it sinks in?
