A: Back in the good old days, the CIA used to run guns to those opposing the regimes backed by the communist Russian potato-heads. Reagan would know what to do.
the author sounds nostalgic for “nation building”
Neocon warmongering, albeit with the realization that we can’t do that anymore.
Not our fight.
A:
Leave it alone.
not worth one drop of American blood or once cent of US treaure to mess around with anything outside of our borders.
Sounds familiar...
It would be an absolute disaster for the United States to involve itself in the Ukrainian crisis. A consensus must be achieved within the Ukraine however difficult the process. The economic reality is that eventually the German-Russian economic axis, which between 1870-1914 was one of the world’s most dynamic, is destined to revive. The Germans tired of their free spending, chronically indebted, non productive Western and Southern European partners will once again shift its economic focus toward the boundless resources and potential of Russia. Ukraine, Poland and Belarus lie on that axis and will inevitably be a part of it. The US has little or no real vested interest, need not be hostile or feel threatened.
It’s rumored that Yanukovich’s sons have fled the country. While the current Ukrainian administration seems to be trying to restrict travel to Kiev, it isn’t working. Kiev has become a magnet for protestors. The army has already bowed out.
Yanukovich has crossed the line with the killings. Whether that was at the insistence of Putin to get the next installment on the loan is a matter of conjecture.
Tell, Puty-Poot to let Western Ukraine go. Should they prove successful as a Society, they may provide a model for the rest of the Russian Empire.
That is not why we elect our representatives.
There is nothing in the US Constitution or the job description and oath of office for presidents, senators or congressmen about extorting money from working people to finance crusades to overthrow other governments.
The irony is that this is supposedly about the US federal government bringing democracy to other countries while the same government is strangling freedom and perevrting democracy right here in the USA.
But was there really a "massacre" of demonstrators in Kiev's Independence Square? What are the facts of the matter?
It’s so uplifting to see so many on this forum on the side of corrupt, murderous Ukrainian oligarchy.

The EU won’t lift a finger. They are too busy in Brussels figuring out the legal size of peas and bananas to care about such trifling issues such as unrest in Ukraine. Putin sure will have fun when he occupies the spigots on the shores of Odessa and Sabastopol. He already got ‘em from the Georgians.
Rush said something interesting today.
In the Ukraine we have protesters that are calling for limits on government power, and government enforcers that are cracking the heads of the protesters.
Which side would Obama be on if it was happening here?
Rhetorical question, I know.
