Funny thing is Sarah Palin and Mitt Romey said Putin would invade the Ukraine if we elected a weak leader, and were laughed at by Obama, Biden, and all the liberal media outlets.
It would be funny, but now it's happened and we have no answer. The wheelhouse is empty.
The Obama administration should have kept their mouths shut regarding threats and sanctions.
They put themselves in this position. So now it's put up or shut up. Don't threaten to do something and then back off.
We seem to be very good at doing that lately in the global arena.
They should have just voiced "concern" and left it at that.
We are the US, not the UN.
You would be saying something if he keep his mouth shut.
Ask the republicans who want to cut SS and Medicare and put that money towards defense.
If the US stopped it's "nation building", sticking it's nose into every country that the US thinks needs change, we wouldn't need such a large military. Our military no longer defends our country. It's purpose is to invade countries and keep the contractors happy.
Obama won't defend the southern border of the United States. He better not start defending the Ukrainian border.

There is absolutely nothing Obama could do to satisfy people like you. So why should he bother trying?
He is handling this exactly how I would want him to handle it: cautiously and slowly.
Didn't Obama and Biden say we don't need conventional forces because no one invades anyone any more?
I don't know if they actually said that, but the principle is basically right. We are not going to directly fight Russia because we are both nuclear powers, it has been that way since the 1950s. Once more we have enough conventional forces to fight any hostile non-nuclear state. The way you fight wars against nuclear states is that when they invade somewhere you give a whole lot of arms and logistical support to the place they are invading so as to make it an untenable situation like the Vietnam war, or the USSR's invasion of Afghanistan. Then the power will fight there for years until war weariness and financial strain force it to give up and they will be weaker because of it.
Seriously this is how wars between major powers have been fought since Korea.

The US has no business there whatsoever and shouldn't be handling ANYTHING.
This is for the UN to handle.
