We have no strategic interest in Ukraine whatsoever, and have no business getting involved in Ukraine's civil war. On the other hand, Ukraine is on Russia's border and its alignment is in Russia's strategic interest. To Russia, Ukraine is worth fighting for, and a rational Russian leader listening to these threats from NATO might be tempted to seize eastern Ukraine and be done with it.

Threatening war over Ukraine just as the rest of the world is exploding is a very curious move, and the sudden argument that today's Russia is the same as the old Soviet Union is equally perplexing. It is so curious that I have to wonder why seemingly rational politicians would make such arguments. Why might a bankrupt America embark upon another distant military adventure? What is worth such a dangerous and costly distraction? What is on the near horizon that we aren't supposed to notice?

So, you are saying simply let Ukraine fall to Russia and do nothing?
