Russian combat divisions (not peacekeeping forces) are massed on the borders of Eastern Ukraine to the tune of 55,000 troops, is whats on the news in the US.

What would you think if Canada or Mexico asked for a "peacekeeping" force and the United States sent troops into those countries to enforce peace?

BTW almost all the members in the UN have declared illegal the "referendum" voted in The Crimea to join Russia.

Isn't that what we've been doing in the middle east for the last 12 years or so?

Sadam gassed his own people for years. But...we dont have a problem with Assad doing it? And the UN does?

The Taliban were directly responsible for helping and protecting the man who killed over 3000 American civilians. The greatest war we ever got involved in happened when Japan killed 3000 military personnel. Who should have been able to protect themselves.

It's not any of our business what a leader in another country does, as long as it doesn't directly affect us.

IMO, we should have went over there and blown a bunch of stuff up and then left. We don't have any business staying over there for a decade. If we were going to do that we should have just taken the country over and made it a state or something.

The US needs to stop trying to police the world. Eventually we'll run out of people willing to lend us money and will be overextended so far that someone else will have a bigger stick with which to force their will upon the rest of the world.

America and so shoves its armed forces, wherever possible.
American instructors were in Georgia when aggression occurred in the North Caucasus.
You remember all the armed conflicts in recent years, were all American troops or military instructors.
With regard to the Crimea, it is recognized. It is only a matter of time, no turning back.

Ive heard it said the natural state of humanity is war.

You want war?

As it stands right now youre going to get economic war for what Putin has done. Russia fighting an economic war is like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.

Youre going to get your ass kicked.

You want that?

West does not want to trade with Russia, will be traded on the east and that's all.
I think that Russia is not afraid of economic war.
I know that Europe will not abandon the Russian raw materials.
It has already been declared European businessmen.
Little do you know.

But does Obama have the will or the inclination to 'take this to the mat'. I don't think he does....and I don't think Putin thinks Obama does either.

He got Iran to the bargaining table through sanctions. Of course, they have no intention of stopping trying to make a bomb. Stopping the sanctions would be a mistake.

Remember ten years ago when Isreal said Iran will have a bomb in five years? Whatever happened to that?

I agree Obama is moving far to slowly. So is Merkle. If I were Putin I wouldnt believe they are serious either.

Obama did use drones about fours time more than Bush to kill militants in Pakistan. That means killing innocents. He has more blood on his hands than Bush ever did.

CBS Bob Schiefer had Obamas opponent on Meet the Press a few weeks ago. They had video of the debates. Obama scolds the guy saying the cold war is over for 20 years.

Scary!

Say, about the bombing of Yugoslavia without UN sanction you deliberately kept silent?

Obamas opponent

Can't bring yourself to say the name Romney ? I guess I have that coming, as I don't want to call/refer to Obama as either The P.O.T.U.S or Mr. President. However, I think saying his last name (although I have on Yahoo! referred to him as Barry ) is better than 'Romney's opponent' or 'the guy' .
