U.S. should send troops to quell Ukraine crisis
washingtonpost.com ^ | April 15, 2014 | James Jeffrey

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.

There are just not enough ways to say “HO” to this idiocy.

US should send our President to have a head to head physical martial arts contest between our leader and theirs. The winner decides about Ukraine.

Maybe then the American people would start electing proven leaders instead of people whose skin color was under-represented in the White House.

Ah, the CIA’s official propaganda sheet, managing PR on behalf of new world order financial elites, is weighing in on “what we should do”.

“What NATO could do is offer to patrol Ukrainian air space,”

While its true you go to war with the military you have, I’m not sure we should go to war with the government we have.

May I suggest to everyone ready to go fight Russian aggression in Eastern Europe to pack plenty of warm winter clothing?

I read somewhere that this is really important.

Yep. This is a European problem that doesn’t get addressed because they expect us to solve it.

Hello, World War Three!

More like "Hello Korean War" or "Hello Vietnam War", when Russians fought American pilots in the skies.

Gawd.

I’m a strong pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin guy. But there is exactly NO CHANCE we’re sending troops.

We could put Russia on the North Korea Pariah State list, and they would fold in about 3 weeks. No boots on ground required.

So why risk our military guys when a strong leader here could do the job with banking and trade restrictions?

I’m missing the justification for this. Are there endangered turtles or something?

Assuming NATO has the balls to stand up and fight. . .

The beauty of this effort is that - for a change - American pilots shot down over Ukraine would be parachuting into friendly territory, just like the Russians who flew over North Korea and North Vietnam, whereas every Russian who had to eject over Ukraine would be lost to the Russian Air Force.

Yeah studying history is a really good idea because Russia has long since perfected a strategy of drawing enemies in and sitting back while they die.

... and the NATO air forces can destroy every aircraft Russia flies over Ukraine simply through the weight of numbers.

Capital idea! So which population center in the Continental US gets vaporized first after NATO starts shooting down planes and killing troops belonging to a nuclear armed country?

Our guys fought aerial battles with the Russians over Korea and Vietnam, and no cities have been vaporized, as yet.

“I’m missing the justification for this.”

Putin has publicly dissed the gay Media God-King Obama, made him look foolish, and wouldn’t let him bomb Syria for Open Society, Saudi, et.,al..

The Obamunist plan to get back at Putin by destabilizing Ukraine isn’t going as planned, and Putin isn’t sitting idly by and letting it happen.

He must be taught a lesson, since calling him a racist isn’t having any effect.
