All kidding aside... you are exactly correct that even though we have the means, we should absolutely not use it (or even think about it). Saber-rattlers like John McCain and Lindsey Graham need to step back with the rhetoric and not repeat Afghanistan. As you said, Putin is of the communist KGB mindset, but he is also smart and not as erratic as Kruschev (Cold War 1.0). A dangerous combination.

He does not do anything without a motive. His antics remind me of some little German guy back in the early 1940s....just an inch at a time and no one will notice!<br /><br />NancyRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-59593681309434564822014-03-03T09:22:39.768-06:002014-03-03T09:22:39.768-06:00I never heard of Ukraine until they started spammi...I never heard of Ukraine until they started spamming my blog. I don't know anything about the politics of the region, but for sure we can't police the world and I suspect this would be a good place to keep to that policy. I do think that any bluster we make politically only makes us weaker and strengthens Putin's resolve. Any talk should be direct and in secret.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-20409102761245320852014-03-03T08:03:27.278-06:002014-03-03T08:03:27.278-06:00About the only solution for us is to send weapons ...About the only solution for us is to send weapons to the Ukranians and hope to bog the Russians down like in Afghanistan until they give up and go home.<br /><br />Can't help thinking if Russia had done better with the Olympics this wouldn't be happening.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.com
