where in the constitution does it allow obama to govern the ukraine, or that the ukraine has to answer to him? where’s the national security interest here that makes ukraine, iraq’s and the middle easts’ oil for us and the world?

Yep and a good part of the reason Putin and the rest of the world have stopped taking the U.S. seriously.
