You do realize that sanctions are an act of war?

Has Iran or N. Korea attacked us yet?

I'm all for a strong military, but the amount we are spending is insane. Less but better comes to mind

No, international sanctions are not an act of war. It's not a blockade.

Kerry said this today about the action in Ukraine:

"You just don't in the 21st Century behave in 19th Century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pretext."

Is he serious? How about Iraq, Mr. Kerry?

That will ensure we do not get embroiled in this ethnic squabble that is none of our affair.

Exactly.
