For us NATO countries to even make a peep about this is the absolute height of Hypocrisy. What did we do when Kosovo wanted to succeed from Serbia? Well to refresh you memories we bombed the crap out of the Serbian capital, put troops into Kosovo and armed Kosovo allowing the Kosovars to ethnically cleanse the Serbians from their own country that they had held for 500 years. Add to that the clusterfluck that has been American foreign policy from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan and why in the world would the Russians even care what the USA thinks about this situation let alone allow American opinions dictate Russian foreign policy. There are so many posts here bashing Obama. Well, I'm telling you it's not Obama who lacks anything it's the USA who has lost it's leadership in the world through the bungling idiocy of Imperial policy in a post Imperial world. Get used to it. It will only get worse from here on in or until the USA reforms it's relationships with the rest of the world entirely.
Well you probably wouldn't if you're getting all of your news from the derposhere. NATO and Ukraine. Poland has moved armaments to it's southern border. The US has added six F-15's to the NATO Baltic Patrol. Sweden (not in NATO) has moved fighter jets to its island closest to Russia....
The EU and US are moving in lockstep in their response, NATO is preparing in the rare chance there is a threat to Poland or another member, but yet Obama's response is "weak?"
Six F-15s are a pitiful purely symbolic move. Put A-10s in Poland and bring armor back to Europe. It'll be costly, but if we don't want to give Europe over to the Russians we'll have to pay the price. I don't think we will though. I think Obama will fail to act.

Why do you assume the Russians wish to take over Europe?
If they did, they could be dancing on their tanks in Kiev as we speak.
The utter complete ignorance of so many Americans where world politics are concerned is so very sad. Obviously the Obama-haters would far rather have had McCain and Palin holding the reins and continuing on W's "shock and awe" tactics. Since Ms Palin can apparently see Russia from her porch she would no doubt have already requisitioned a stockpile of missiles in her garden shed for the sheer joy of pushing the buttons herself ...
