re: #326 Justanotherhuman

I think you’re pretty naive about Ukrainians. Many may be tired, but most are tired of Russia’s yoke around their necks.

They already showed a ton of boldness in their protest. Maybe the hundred or more dead protesters slid right by those that might have seen Euromaiden as a bunch of college kids acting up.

I hate military action, but damn…sometimes things just get out of hand. I should think proper equipping of some Ukraine ‘fighters’ may be coming fast. America is always good for some backdoor ‘advisers’ and who knows maybe Cheney and the boys already have Haliburton and others like the Blackwater types getting ready for a little help.

Unlike some, I really don’t see Obama sitting in his hands. He will want to know all the ramification of anything he does, but if they do invade, I suspect there will be some resistance with US help. If anything tie Russia up and cost them big time. As I mentioned…economically may be the best way to ding the Russians. I don’t think they really want to spend much, and I don’t think their own people will want much cost either.

I would love to see some way to make this a huge mistake for Russia and that it be costly enough to internally light Russia up enough to cost Putin and that old time Russian thinking to just go the fuck away.
