When did I say it was not the greatest nation on Earth?
The problem is that we are electing to involve ourselves in the affairs of other nation’s military directives regardless of whether or not there is any moral imperative for us to do so.
In the scope of international affairs, this was basically a bloodless coup in the Ukraine followed by a referendum that both liberal and conservative sources (if there are any anymore) pegged at about 70% in favor of becoming a part of Russia.
Yet you choose to rail against this in the name of doing what is right?
We start by restoring order to our own house first.
The moral imperative is that if we do not hold up our end of a Security Assurance that resulted in the Ukraine giving up 5000 nukes, the logical fallout eventually results in a whole bunch of radioactive fallout. Whether we catch it (much less the other effects) depends on “where” and the prevailing winds.
However, as a people proven to be dishonorable, short sighted, and deadly foolish, perhaps it is deserved. God smote Sodom and Gomorrah for not much worse.
