I agree it is weird for a superpower to wade into a local conflict and the USA to not be involved....

RE: Russian forces occupy the Crimea.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

And you felt the same way when bully nations invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and most recently wanted to Syria, yes? Or when sovereign countries are bombed by our drones... You're strongly against that, right?

Unfortunately, we have the wrong guy sitting in the White House for this crisis. Foreign Policy has never been barack's strong point. If barack hasn't the will to follow through with his threats of "there will be consequences", then he needs to keep his big mouth shut and stop drawing red lines in the sand. Barack is a weak leader. Putin's not afraid of us. He knows barack doesn't have the will or the backbone to be taken seriously.

Of course, only the Republicans never met a war they didn't love. How has their foreign policy worked out?

Barack's not throwing out red lines to intimidate nations... he's throwing out red meat to the war-mongers back home.

Actually, all flippancy aside, I'm really quite worried about this. Putin has his hand on the gas supply to the UK. If he chooses, Britain goes dark.

Well, time to increase the armoury and apocalypse stash again.
