Do we want influential political folks focusing on regulating against Americans or focusing on declared and acting foreign enemies? It’s also an opportunity to clear up any problems in military administration—problems that otherwise fester and grow during times of laxity. That’s an opportunity that cannot be postponed for long, if we want to live. Fascist/communist buildups and expansions can happen fast.
In your cherry picked “Norm Lenhart Exposed” rant above, you missed the very clear answer to your dilemma and did not chose to include it.
As I said, if we had a competent admin, many of us would be looking at this entire situation differently. Does that mean anything to you? Do you personally believe that doing wrong things are better than holding back? Because this admin had nothing but wrong things in it’s foreign policy portfolio. Egypt...disaster. Libya...dead Americans and MANPADS everywhere. Canada ...Keystone Delay, Africa...gay rights, Honduras...pissed everyone there off, Iraq...back in AQ hands, Afghanistan...lost.
Do you REALLY want that merry band of politicians to screw with RUSSIA?
Yes or no.
At this point, whatever is happening so far in Ukraine and with Russia, is so microscopic in terms of danger to CONUS, compared to the ongoing coup, that to expect the perpetrators of the coup to do the right thing over there is beyond insane.
US money help create the whole problem with the Maidan protesters in the first place.
Anything this administration does, large or small, is guaran-damn-teed to be the very worst choice that can be made. Including any kind of relationship or action with any foreign country.
And your comment:

I don’t understand at all. How on earth with an enemy combatant as CIC help our military clear up any problems? Now that it’s stuffed with faggots and incompetent women in positions of authority, with good men and women leaving in disgust, or being fired?
