What is your plan to oust Putin out of Crimea?

Interesting question, but beside the point.

There's no practical way to force Putin out of Ukraine...we've reached a point of no-win alternatives. That's clear to anyone.

In fact, in regards to Russia the West is in a no-win situation. We're not here by accident, we're here due to myopia and short sightedness.

We're here because of a failure of HW and Clinton to vacuum all the nukes out of the former USSR when the opportunity was there in the 1990s. We're here because W thought he could look into Putin's eyes and see his soul. We're here because Obama is a fool who thinks the relationship between the two countries just needs to be reset...and we're here because enough fools voted Obama into office. We're here because Europe thought it a good idea to make Russia their primary source of energy. All of these were incredibly short-sighted.

Fools like Obama who are divorced from reality are elected by fools who are divorced from reality.

So, I don't give a pass to those who shrug and say, "But what is to be done now?" My focus is those who created the no-win situation in the first place, and what's to be done to change that.

It's a little too late for us to jump in...by about ten years, I would say.

I have no interest in telling Ukraine what they should do. In a perfect world, they would be able to decide that for themselves.

To the list of fools can be added those who think this is just about Ukraine...or that this is some kind of home grown uprising. It's more to the point about an expansionist Russia led by a former KGB head focused on putting the old empire back together.

It's about a potential alliance with another Asian power bent upon expansionism, both of whom sit on the UN Security Council.

It was so obvious, even Sarah saw it...(/sarc)
