I've always wanted to ask Pat, if you don't want the US involved in any country at all, what exactly do you want the US to do? Just stay home and let ISIS take over Iraq? Let Russia have its way with Ukraine and the rest of Eastern Europe? Let the Taliban take over Afghanistan?

I think that's the impression Pat is giving me.

He warns against getting involved but does not tell us what would happen if we just stayed home.

The party’s united? That’s news to me.

As always, Pat knocks it out of the park.

Too late for Iraq and too late for Afghanistan. It is also almost to late for America.

We still have two more years of Obama and a weakened military.

We should arm Kiev, it is a proxy war, plain and simple.

Pat thinks appeasement with Russia will work. Where was he when Reagan gave the speech tear down this wall?

My WAG if the Russians start a PR campaign about refugees and war crimes by the Uki mercs then the fellas in DC better be prepared for war. IMO the American propaganda efforts are worn out dogs, so unless the hacks of war can gin up the efforts I guess that eastern Ukraine is going into Kosovo like status, because no one is going to help the US prosecute a war against Russia on its own doorstep.

We have no strategic interest in Ukraine whatsoever, and have no business getting involved in Ukraine's civil war. On the other hand, Ukraine is on Russia's border and its alignment is in Russia's strategic interest. To Russia, Ukraine is worth fighting for, and a rational Russian leader listening to these threats from NATO might be tempted to seize eastern Ukraine and be done with it.

Threatening war over Ukraine just as the rest of the world is exploding is a very curious move, and the sudden argument that today's Russia is the same as the old Soviet Union is equally perplexing. It is so curious that I have to wonder why seemingly rational politicians would make such arguments. Why might a bankrupt America embark upon another distant military adventure? What is worth such a dangerous and costly distraction? What is on the near horizon that we aren't supposed to notice?
