BTW - short form on what I believe:
No, we shouldn't be intervening in Ukraine. In fact we should stay FAR AWAY. (In fact, other than rhetoric, I'm pretty sure we will. But Obama is JUST erratic enough that I'm not 100% certain.)
But let's be HONEST about it. Don't even BOTHER making "tough" noises trying to puff your political standing up. Just cut the whole damn thing loose and admit straight up that we don't give jack shit about Ukraine. (Well I feel sorry for them, but that's not enough.)
Obama wants to have it both ways, as usual. He wants to avoid war, but he wants to appear "strong" at the same time.
Sorry, Barry - that ship sailed midway through your first term. You're a wimp and you're not fooling anyone. Putin's got your number.
Now lie back and think of Russia.
