So do you support sending over a few divisions to force Russia out?

Russian flags were present on the military vehicles, thus the Russians initiated this attack.
This will not end well.

Especially if we start waving our dicks around over there.

I agree with you but Europe has shown a tendency to avoid confrontation like it's the plague since 1945.
I guess losing two entire generations to Two Great Wars will do that to you.
Meanwhile, Russia is on the march and it looks like Putin isn't going to stop with Crimea. He'll take Eastern Ukraine next, then the rest of Ukraine. Then he'll threaten his Republican neighbors and try to get them to supplant themselves to his wishes.
If they don't (they won't) he'll stir up a conflict, run a false flag operation and use it as an excuse to invade them.
At some point, it will become our problem.
When you get a small cancer, you don't say, "Not a concern. I feel fine. Not gonna worry about it."
People who do that tend to die early.
People who see a problem and deal with it tend to do a little better.
And yes, it IS a good analogy.
Deal with it while we can. Before it gets out of control

Everyone calm down. Obama has this.
If it escalates, Pajama Boy will tell Putin he disapproves.
Or, he might really put the hammer down with a stern condemnation.
Russians are scared sh*tless of condemnations.

You neo-cons, shut up and sit down.
We saw how well it all worked out when Dick was running George all over the place.

We've sacrificed enough for Europes sake through two world wars. Let them do something or not. Either way I could give a shit.
Enough. Let em handle their own bullshit.

History shows that invading Russia is a death wish.
Hitler
Napoleon. 400,000 troops dead.

Why is it some can't see what is right in front their face? I don't blame the younger generations, but the older?
Idealistic dreams are wonderful on the surface, but history is there to show us the true realities. Are they pretty? No, and they are sad, but wishing them away won't do anything but cause more harm. They must be faced.

But differently than Vietnam and Iraq II and Afghanistan.
The "old" way will not work.
Those of us who do remember are not blinded by the instinctive desire to kick ass.
Putin is not Hitler, and Ukraine is not Czechoslovakia.

Crimea had been a part of Russia since the 18th century.

Come on Jake. You're slipping on us buddy.
1. You used neo-con as a pejorative. Check.
2. You invoked Bush. Check.
3. But you forgot to use the race card!
That's only two thirds of the boilerplate Obama defense. Must have been in a hurry.
