"Matt Taibbi, meanwhile, was just depressed that there’s such near-constant talk of the U.S. getting into overseas conflicts."

That's not entirely true. Russia isn't some Middle East backwater where we'd send a carrier strikegroup and a handful of troops to do the fighting while the rest of America sits home and watches football on TV. We decide to engage in a war with Russia and everyone's going to be involved --whether they want to or not.
