We stopped caring about that "business" after the Korean War. So you're about 50 years too late to catch the Freedom Train. Choo Choo....

US never seeked to get involved in every conflict on the planet. NEVER. What did we do when Chezkolovakia was invaded and occupied by USSR? Not much. There are dozens of conflicts brewing ALL THE TIME on this planet, and we have stayed away from 99% of them.

By "leading from behind", once again Barry has been left with no good choices. He should have acted BEFORE we got to this point. Barry has failed in Libya, Egypt, and now Ukraine by waiting until it was too late to steer the crisis.

What evidence do you have that we ever cared about it before the Korean War?

If we stay out of all of them why do liberals constantly scream about US involvement in the very same "conflicts" you say we are not a part of? I guess the liberal mind at work?

He's not the captain of the vessels in question, nor should he try to be.

Because Russia Doesn't really make anything anymore. They're biggest exports are oil related products, natural gas, military gear to despotic countries, vodka and oil billionaires. The only people who are going to feel the real pain of sanctions against Russia are European gas customers, international bankers and London real estate agents.

I just think of Korea as being the last good war - if such a thing exists.
