Very good post. I would add that the exit of Crimea from the Ukrainian sphere would alter the political landscape in Ukraine in a positive way.

Crimeans have always seen themselves as Russians, and vote accordingly. It should be easier for greater Ukraine to nominate and elect more Euro-centric candidates without Crimea.

Now, if we could just get the Russians to invade New York and California......

Good luck if you’ve never been lied to by a moslem. You are in for a world of hurt. American electorate is gullible like sheep - easy to lead - easy prey. Cynical liars know which lies work best, keep track and form public opinion along those lines. . Sleepwalking into the next global caliphate is a terrible way to die. The talking heads are all asleep or blind, paid off or too stupid to see the light.

Those who read the Weekly Standard are the low information voters. Those who are well informed reject the views of the NeoCons, Weekly Standard, John McCain, Linda Graham, Rumsfeld, etc.

When a nation decides that fantasy trumps reality, disaster follows.
This also goes for homosexual “marriage,” women in combat, etc.

America has been living in a fantasy world for decades—We are being mislead by our successes—Hubris, arrogance, and downright propaganda. We are just one nation and we can’t bend others to our right thinking will. Putin will win this round—as he won in Georgia before. To the Russian Mind—Criema IS Russian—so its not like taking land from another country—its more like restoration. We better watch out—some Russians think that Alaska should be their “greater Russia” and that we hoodwinked them out of it. We don’t want to fight with these guys—not if we can help it.

Russia, China and the norks have nuclear ICBMs. The jihadis have been infiltrating over the border for years and are waiting for the word to start soft target attacks.

They don't have to occupy us.

Obama HAS a foreign policy? Who knew? Certainly not Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, Hillary(!) Clinton, or John F’ing Kerry. America's foreign policy is a cluster flop.
