Americans definitely don't need to be dragged into this. I suspect many Americans couldn't point out Crimea or the Ukraine on a map.

What about the slaughter of hundreds of innocent people by Muslims in Nigeria? Why don't they matter? If Muslims slaughter innocent Africans, why doesn't the Obama administration speak out against that?

Let's mind our own business!

This is a "fair election" in the mind of a liberal- voting with an invading army in your country and a gun pointed to your head! Gee......................... The premier of North Korea just received 100% of the vote in a "fair" election as well.

I guess this is why liberals are okay with voter fraud and corruption in the US. Black Panthers intimidating voters? No problem!

BBC says exit polls show 93% voting to join Russia BBC News - Crimea exit poll: About 93% back Russia union
Does that seem like the results of a fair election? In the US you couldn't get 93% of people to agree that water is wet.

That still doesn't make it the responsibility of the US to take action and use force to get the result Obama wants even if Kiev cuts off the water, power and natural gas to Crimea.

Look at Greece. The EU and IMF have taken them to the cleaners.

And Ukraine's financial position is Greece on steroids.

Not to mention there are large numbers of people in western Ukraine (watch that video) who still identify with their pro-Nazi grandparents. How do you think the metrosexual elite in the EU will react to them?

The show is just beginning.
