So please tell us...what do you think we should do to stop the Russians?

Go to war?

Don't expect a straight answer. All they want to do is bash Obama.

No, but certainly a man of his talent could figure out that there are other responses between a conference call and war, could he not?

Responses to the Russians fortifying the area around their military bases, in the middle of a revolution?

I don't think that was even worth a conference call.

Yes, Mr. Putin is just trying to preserve order..... The useful idiots quote proves prophetic.

Honestly the US and the EU are only geared towards fighting small rouge nations. Georgia shouldn't have over reached...

Until further evidence rolls in, I will certainly assume this; but even if he seized the entire Ukraine, it's not worth a world war.

I consider evidence based on the big picture of how Mr. Putin has acted, not simply a focus on one "fortification.," but I haven't heard anyone advocate war, so that's a bit of a red herring.

Tell that to the people of Lviv -- which, along with much of the rest of western Ukraine -- used to belong to Poland.

Whatever the FSB is paying you to propagandize here, it's too much.

How can Ukraine sell the Crimea back to Russia if Ukraine got it for free from them?
