I was talking about our men and women in the military. You seem to want us to go to another war without even thinking about them. You know it's so easy for people to say we should go to war because they are not the ones going.

A war with Russia wont be fought with boots on the ground it will be a quick affair with thousands of nuclear devices being used to destroy most if not all of the worlds population. Sanctions and political ostracization is a much saner path to follow.
For those that dont agree? whats your solution to the current Ukraine situation and the role America should play in it.

You're right, we have no option on this one. We got caught wrong footed. All we can try to do is rebuild a coalition to deal with any moves on Poland or other former Soviet controlled countries.
Those three are still our close allies, even more so than before. Educate yourself. Israel was very disappointed at Bush admin, and they were happy to see him leave the office.
I don't wish to offend you, so I'll just say I couldn't disagree more.
The greater probability is that the US will become isolated. The EU needs Russian gas, China is moving closer to Russia, Germany is burned by NSA spying on them, Britain has been all but ignored by this administration, Netanyahu and Obama genuinely dislike one another. No world leaders respect Obama. We stand alone and we are broke.
Oh, please. NATO has invoked Article IV - and that is exactly the 3rd time that has happened. The EU is getting their set of sanctions ready. The G8 meetings are off. If you think Britain and Germany (Germany, of all places) want to make nice with a Russia that thinks military action is a way to settle disputes, you could not possibly be further off.
Tell that to Gaddafi and bin Laden. You righties cant get over yourselves
Oh sure. An ancient military mannequin about to die anyway and a cave-dweller with failing kidneys about to die anyway... That's about what leftists can endure other than anonymous drone strikes.
One good thing about this Ukraine drama is that the G8 may finally be dissolved as it serves no real purpose anymore other than for photo-ops and broadcasted chumminess.
And maybe a return to ordinary global relations where everyone doesn't have to pretend they like everyone else because all are special. BRIC and the developing world with verve versus the E.U. and NA, who need debt forgiveness the way a chalk slate needs a thorough wipedown and a cultural unifier.
I think the problem is over the years America setting itself up to be the worlds policeman, where they need to play a role in every conflict around the world,in reality why should we care about Russia and the Crimea or any one of a number of conflicts that are really none of our business?
Yup, despite the fact I haven't been a registered democrat for years, this thread's insanity convinces me that I absolutely won't be voting for republican anytime in the near future. Seriously, conservatives these days are like the American version of Al Qaeda. Maybe we'll see an FBI's most wanted picture of 19 pick-up truck drivers.
And there you have it, liberal media talking points
