Bad idea. What NATO could do is offer to patrol Ukrainian air space, at the Ukrainian government’s invitation. Once accepted, the Russians will be leery of entering Ukrainian territory, since no attacking ground force can prevail against relentless air attacks, 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?

Screw NATO, they only exist because of USA dollars and support. They're worthless. I'm really thinking it's time to pull up the drawbridge and get the hell out of policing the world. I used to believe we should stay involved, but not so certain now. Let them self-destruct, but when they turn their eye to America, KILL THEM ALL QUICKLY, as in Dresdan, Hiroshimo, Nagasaki.

Leave us alone or fell the full wrath of the greatest military might on this rock. BTW, Obama won't soil our Oval Office forever. Even Hillary would have more balls if push came to shove, even with her failing in Benghazi.

Where will the planes based out of? An aircraft carrier?

And if Russia starts sending planes in, do we start a war?
