Pat does a good job of instructing us where the many fault lines in Europe lie.
The borders of countries in Europe and Russia have changed countless times in just the time the United States has been in existence.
What is happening in the Ukraine is not black and white. I don’t know who the good guys are, who the bad guys are, or what the difference is.
All I know, is that after the debacles that our political elite made out of military victories in Iraq and Afghanistan,I am done saving the world. After 70 years of sacrifice, America has done enough.
Let the European Union send their sons and daughters into the battle. It is on their doorstep, not ours.
Our blood and money allowed Europe to recover from WWII. We don’t owe Europe or the world a thing. Woodrow Wilson’s century of American sacrifice should end.
