U.S. should send troops to quell Ukraine crisis

Despite much diplomatic effort, the situation in Ukraine worsens. A coordinated Russian campaign, including an invasion threat, special operations destabilization in eastern Ukraine patterned on the Crimea model, and warnings of gas cutoffs document ever more clearly Vladi­mir Putin’s aim to cripple the Ukrainian government and control much or even all of this strategically vital European country.

An old college chum of mine once streaked a local theater on the urging from his room mate. I asked him how he could do such a thing knowing his roomie was a homo from Massachusetts. My friend replied "I just made sure that he stayed in front."

Yeah, this was the 1970s during the short-lived streaking craze.

I love Freepers. They are uniform on this one.-— nope aint goin. We are out. Been there ,done that — disaster and we are dead flat broke.

[GeronL]

nope

[GeronL]

send in all the gay and leftist soldiers

[I want the USA back]

Dumb.
No troops.

[gingerbread]

Then what’s the argument? I’m agreeing with you.

The stupid gas plant has sprung a major leak.

What happened to all the ball grabbing, macho talk in here that the sissy boy in the WH had to stand up to the Roooskies?

[Cen-Tejas]

Liberals LBJ, McNamara, Robert Kennedy, Dean Rusk and many other of Americas most embarrassing leaders of that era (all democrats) were all about “sending signals”.

Not a damn one of them worked.

Nixon, one of our best Presidents, unleashed the B52s on the bastards! That worked!

No signals. No troops! Just impeachment or even better a surprise resignation. As incentive to resign and get lost, Give the son of a bitch an island in the Pacific and a billion dollars and get him out of here!

It would be a bargain at a hundred times that price! Only stipulation to be that Biden, Reid, Pelosi, all 3 Clintons, Schumer, Durbin, Hagel, the two broads from Maine, McCain and his daughter, Kerry, Holder and Boehner go with him.

James Jeffrey and the Walpo editorial board should go establish a beach head right now. Call when you get there. Actually don’t waste our time with a call.

A serious question, how many of these left wing mediots from the Compost, NY/LA Slimes for years wrote articles against our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are now pseudo warriors wanting full scale war in the Ukraine?

and Vietnam and probably even Granada.

I am not a great military tactician but with my minimum NCO knowledge I look at the status of forces in that part of the world and there is NO WAY I would get into a shooting war there. They wanted one sided disarmament and redeployment of money to the welfare state, well they got it. Everything comes with a cost. Now we are planning of decommissioning some missile launchers in our subs and taking out 50 land based ICBMs as part of the incompetents ideas of one sided mutual destruction (OSMD as opposed to MAD) and he wonders why he is a laughing stock. Scratch that, he is not smart enough to know he is a laughing stock.

Such is the price that all of us -- and the entire world -- have to pay for a diminished, dispirited and grossly misled America.

Tragically, Ukrainians will have to pay for our sins. We can only hope that, eventually, Americans don't have to pay a greater price than they have already.

Thanks for your thoughts on what’s going on in and outside of the Ukraine.

Okie O1 backs up your insight with his reply.

Nothing revelatory, I know. But, I swear, we've all had a bellyful of this crap -- and you and Mouton touched a nerve.

[Grampa Dave]

Yep, we old timers don’t want to see our grandkids, nieces/nephews and neighbor kids involved in another war to stop wars.

The way to stop any war against America is to let the world know that any military attack against America will make post WWII Germany and Japan look like vacation spots.
