Those who characterize others as "socks puppets" and "Putinistas" for wanting to limit ourselves to our own strategic interests rather than helping the EU save face are the ones on FR behaving like shills. Not a single one of the whole mudslinging, "play the isolationist card" cliche slinging, gang of dolts has made or can make a solid case for why the Ukraine is vital to our national interests.

If that's true, did you oppose the United States taking any kind of action during the cold war?

You might be kidding? Commintern was the biggest threat to our civilization at the time. It still bites.

Wow, what a powerful argument for why we shouldn't let the EU handle the problems they made for themselves. Letting them pick up their own toys when they're done playing is the same as saying we shouldn't have lifted a finger to protect ourselves ever since WWII.

Gosh, I'm gonna have to think about that one.

Obviously you believe it all went wrong when Patton wasn't granted his wish and allowed to integrate what was left of the Wehrmacht into his Army and fight his way to Moscow.
