In an interview with Munich-based daily Süddeutsche Zeitung published on Thursday, American Vice President Joe Biden discussed possible solutions to the Ukraine-Russia conflict ahead of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s U.S. visit.

Biden’s interview left no doubt that the U.S. would not be answering Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s request for weapons aid from NATO countries against Russia’s advances in the country’s eastern regions.

“We’ve said from the beginning that for this crisis, there is no military solution,” he said in the written interview with Süddeutsche and its European news partners. …

The Mexican drug-lords got more arms from Obama than Ukraine.

America makes up good part of NATO and if we don’t lead none of them will.

I am quite aware of that which is why I am saying what’s to stop Russia from taking over Eastern Europe?

You want my thoughts?
Right now, if Russia want’s Europe, it is his.

Who would stop him?
Germany?
France?
Italy?
Spain?
Great Brittan?
Nato?
Barack?

There is always a military solution. There was one for The Revolution, War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish American War, WWI, and WWII. Once we started trying to reach political solutions, beginning with Korea, things fell apart.

Maybe the same thing that keeps Italy from invading France? The lack of any intent or motive?

Biden is an idiot.

The solution to Ukraine is to either defend it from Russia or for the Russians to pull out.

A weak America plays into Putins hands. Ukraine should cut her best deal with Russia—they lose the east but might gain some cheap gas or a trade deal—the west will do zip to save them. Peace is needed.

Peace is kaput if the US is weak. Appeasing tyrants has only one end.

Step up, then.
I have stepped up by contributing in meaningful ways against the Russian Terrorists and been thanked for it. Very glad to tell you that I will continue to do so. :)

Do not mistake me as a silly boy, like you are, who posted a 6 year old article as if current and when called out - failed to step up like a man and acknowledge it (LoL!):

This article was written January 6th, 2009.
And regularly gets caught hyping BS from... Twitter (LoL!):
Tweet with no link and was corrected from US Rep to Russia? I hope you can hear me laughing in your face... silly boy.
Silly boy tcrlaf (with twitter again) was trying to fear monger with unsubstantiated talk of “Total War” from Hollande
