I don't think the suggestion was to send physical pallets of 100-dollar bills...

All this talk about Ukraine is making Harrier hungry.

He wants to head down to Costa Mesa and buy a Kiev Sandwich.

A place called Moscow Deli selling Kiev and Odessa sandwiches?

So Ukraine really has nothing to do with Mother Russia?

The method of cash is meaningless.. If you sent over the equivelant value of oil, it would still be seized..

I havent at all suggested we should go to war, I'm asking why Democrats flip flop on their positions into no matter what Obama says, its the correct move. I'm not one who knows enough about the issue to deem Obama right or wrong, which is why I havent said anything about his choices..

We are not going to risk a land war, economic collapse and the deaths of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, over the possible break-up of Ukraine. Our true "red line" is the borders of NATO countries. Done
Nato? Obama pulled their teeth.

Most of us did say that, and we were right to say it. Unfortunately, our President had other plans.

I had really good pastries in Kiev a few months ago. In fact, the best apple pie I have ever had.

Obama never pulled one soldier out of Europe. Our force in Nato went from 400,000 troops in 1989 to 50,000 today. Almost all the withdrawn troops were recalled during the Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2 administrations.

What else do you want from Obama, he and Kerry already "unfriended" Putin on both their FaceBook and Twitter accounts.
