We need this type of leadership niow...or we may see first the Ukraine, and then the Balkans, and later mopre of Eastern Europe descend back into Russian denomination, which could start a truly major war. Stop him now...it will not get easier later.

FYI - ethnic group map of Ukraine:

The only area in which Russians are a majority is Crimea. Ukrainians could give Russia serious problems merely conducting an insurgency, given the size of the country. If Ukraine decides to fight, Russia has just grabbed a hold of a tar baby. Given the capacity of Ukraine for resistance, this might be the war that finally cures Russia of its knee-jerk territorial acquisitiveness. Russia would neither be fighting a band of irregulars (Stepan Bandera) nor the nomadic raiders (Cossacks) of the past, but the organized military of a 50m strong population, with a Russian military that's a pale shadow of its Cold War peak.

Thought-provoking post. Thought-provoking thread.

American foreign policy - BIG MESS. From Arab spring to Eastern Mediterranean to Eastern Europe to EU a convoluted quagmire.

Let’s examine their charters of negative liberties side by side with ours and proceed from there.

Why do we want to stop Putin here? This isn’t the same. Crimea is Russian. Ukraine is the cradle of Russian civilisation and needs to be split in two.

Yeah...Bush, what a great leader. Muslim jihadists take down the WTC and while that gravesite was still smouldering, this idiot responds by taking his shoes off in a filthy DC mosque to declare Islam the ‘religion of peace’(a Brotherhood mosque, we found out later). Then he lets the Saudis off the hook, and starts a beautiful friendship with the Taliban’s BFF Musharraf, yanks a respected hardass general who offended local Muslims in Iraq, and replaces him with the pussy Paul Bremer, lets Al Sadr live, wussifies the ROE....and on and on. Sorry if I am NOT wistful for this neo-Progressive clown.

Bush drew a stark line in the sand...and he did it with the US military even as the Russian forces were nearing the capitol...and Putin paused, and then stopped, and negotiated.

Putin understood Bush, Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld were NOT people to take lightly...

I doubt Putin feels the same about Obama, Biden, and Chuck Hagel...

Our military's great - they could do the job with the right team on top. But the right team's NOT on top. Our military also could have saved the men at Benghazi...

Jeff - remember Kerry - and how he acted during the Vietnam war? Kerry and Jane Fonda were two peas in a pod. Kerry today would have major say over 'war' strategy - and he's a friggin' pretty boy elite. His big threat to Putin this morning (on Sunday morning news shows) was that Putin wouldn't be invited to the A-List parties anymore if he didn't stop. Kerry hurt Putin alright. Putin fell to the floor and laughed so hard he couldn't catch his breath.

How nice to see you following the corrupt line of Obama and Kerry and the rest of that gang.

Respectfully, I agree with PJ Too. It’s down to the UK at this point, and France, and maybe Germany.

Obama is busy threatening Israel at the moment.

Everybody thinks Obama is a bad president. He’s only bad if your agenda for the US isn’t the same as Obama’s. From Obama’s point of view, he’s the most important president since Lincoln. He’s made this point before.

Remember, it was Lincoln that slammed home Federalism, and gutted the 10th Amendment.
