I am interested in how folks feel about our involvement or lack thereof in Ukraine.

I realize this will be taken as disrespect, but in 2012, the President mocked Romney and a few posters on this board did the same when discussing Russia.

Well, Romney s words have come true.

Now, Putin, in my opinion is really pushing the envelope and is really surprising me with his defiance. The sanctions have hurt Russia for sure and he persists and actually is getting more agressive.

This situation, ie. and invasion of another country, cannot be tolerated. What we do, I am not sure. I hope we can stop his agression with the minimal military effort but we cant be backed down once again.

There is merit to the arguement about ignoring a lot of this stuff since it does not, at this time, present a threat to the US, but that line of thinking has not served anyone very well in the past, and our job is to ensure our shores stay safe.
