American liberals and those idiots populating the halls of Congress don't learn from the mistakes THEY made which caused failure. (Insanity is defined as "doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result?")

That there are even refugees going to Europe and wanting to come to America is indicative of the failure of the policy. As with the inane and suicidal diversity in America, no foreign solution is acceptable. It will be rejected because it will not work. Yet, the morons in Washington think that it is humanitarian to create more debt through diversity.

I’m waiting for Belgium to collapse and jihadist massacres to sweep Germany.

I’ll do them the courtesy of opposing intervention.

The thing I wonder, is was it a set guarantee that Yanukovich was going to win a rigged re-election in the Ukraine, had there not been that “revolution” against him?

Also, I wonder how the world would see it if in 2015, a year before elections, a violent insurrection took place in the US toppling Obama, one with the KKK and white supremacists prominently taking part in the violence?

Could it be that the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies tossed in money to topple the Ukrainian government, and failed to realize that Putin would not tolerate Western forces potentially being stationed 300 miles from Moscow?

I think that Brussels should be renamed "Dhimmiberg" and the EU should be renamed "Manginastan".

The last paragraph could indeed be true. As convoluted and insane as the current U. S. foreign policy is concerned absolutely anything is possible.

That little McCain sponsored coup in Ukraine set US Russia relations back to the 1960s era. Hopefully we will live through it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

McCain and Linda never met a war they didn’t like.

“Europeans Tire of US Interventions”

Right, except when the interventions are on their behalf. Which is when they always suddenly love US interventions.

Considering Washington’s ‘foolish interventionism’ has resulted in the muslim brotherhood takeover of the middle east AND the creation of ISIS, I don’t blame them

Sounds like this was written in Moscow. Freedom’s outpost seems to to quite fit the narrative. I choose to see it differently: Europe knows it is on its own with our own radical marxist in the White House. Everything he touches turns to sh!t.

Tell you what.

When you pay for all this nonsense out of your own pocket, then you can engage in all the mischief abroad that you please.

Apparently the progressives on this board don’t learn from mistakes, either.

Interventionism is not a conservative value - quite the opposite, in fact.

People who would expose yourselves along with the rest of us to nuclear retaliation over places like Estonia are Dr. Strangelove level insane.

was it a set guarantee that Yanukovich was going to win a rigged re-election in the Ukraine, had there not been that “revolution” against him?

The opposition was divided into three groups and there was no unifying leader to bring them all together, so the odds of defeating the incumbent Yanukovich through the democratic process did not look favorable.

Yanukovich had also successfully negotiated an economic package of low interest loans, trade preferences and energy subsidies with Russia that would have lifted the Ukrainian economy and provided a cushion for the country's debt load.

As much as they like to protest otherwise, Neocons really don't believe in or have much use for national sovereignty or the democratic process.

The coup occurred in the middle of the Moscow Olympics when Putin couldn’t do anything in response. He’s never forgotten the insult.

That's correct, and those that oppose it are labeled as isolationists.

Excellent job translating that from the original Russian!
