Uh oh Looks like America wants to get involved in another war, Just what we need. I don't think we should get involved at all.

This isn't a country you could easily topple like the ones we have grown use to. Hopefully it's just a lot of posturing and no war.

Troops should always demand a certain amount of booty before fighting. They end up getting killed and wounded and don't get anything for it. The bigwigs make a ton of money so let them do the fighting if they want wars.

Those with any power don't end up being the soldiers who fight the wars, almost by definition.

Say what you like about George Bush jnr, he would never have allowed Russian territorial aggression to get this far.

He'd have invaded New Zealand by now...

Did John Kerry really go on Meet the Press yesterday and say with a straight face, "You don't invade a country on completely phony pretexts"? I mean, honestly, how does anyone in the world really take US leadership seriously?

A sovereign country has been invaded and all the usual idiots can do is attack the USA as if everything in the world has to be about them. this is about Ukraine who has been invaded by Russia. Nato should step in and reinforce the Ukranian armed forces and then we sit down at the negotiation table.
Some may call them junk, I call them treasures.
