Hey, waddaya know - perhaps common sense is breaking out: Congress is listening to the President's request to send some cash to Ukraine after all.

Go and fight for them if you wish. Leave the rest of us out of it.

I hear you, but, nationally we have to send a more unified message. If one goes, we all go. So... let's roll on Russia, whee hoo. The Cold War was a disappointment to the entire planet. People at least wanted to see a nuke go off. Just one would have established bonafide Super Power cred for either the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. Let's do it right this time. I can agree with the frustration over Obama's foot dragging. Time to get him out of there and put in someone who isn't afraid to put boots on the ground and get the ICBM's armed and ready and then get on the phone to Putin and tell him how its going to be. Any takers?

Why would we give them cash so the Russians can just take it when they take possession of the country?

Oh, please. If the president was in favor of the kind of intervention you are talking about, you and all the other right wingers here would be screeching about THAT. Just admit it, whatever course Obama proposes you will be arguing for the opposite. At least you guys are consistent.

Republican war mongering during the Bush wars got us nowhere, if you are itching for a war, enlist.
