The Serbs were the good guys, and we helped the Muslims. Go figure.

Yeah I hated Clinton policy.

And the Ukrainians are the good guys, Obama does nothing and won't send them arms. Go figure.

Some of the Ukrainians are good guys, but there is also a large Nazi contingent among the Ukrainian nationalists in the western part of the country. Regardless, my opposition to US/NATO intervention has nothing to do with who is good and bad, but that we are meddling at Russia's backdoor and that this is not our fight. If Moscow or Beijing abetted a coup in Mexico City and sought to align Mexico in a hostile treaty alliance against the United States, we would have wasted no time invading in force and installing a friendlier regime along our border. That has been our policy under the Monroe Doctrine since 1823.

Unless we are committed to going to war against Russia to guarantee Ukraine's independence from Moscow, we should not commit our prestige and treasure to a wasteful defeat. And we should be honest with Ukraine and stop leading them on with false hope of commitment that does not exist.
