Where do you get your news, from slobbering cretin network? News flash. Crimea is ukraine. newsflash no, not really. No more than American Samoa is the US. The US leases GITMO in perpetuate. The Vienna convention on International treaties article 4 maintains that the US does have a lease despite the fact that CUBA has never cashed a single rent check. ([it] prohibits retroactive application of said Convention to extant treaties) The original was signed in 1903 and amended in 1934 which still governs the US leasehold. Yes, the USA won't fuck off home, just like Russia won't fuck off home. The Cuban government doesn't have a say in the matter like the Crimea govenment doesn't. The USA and Russia are as bad as each other.

True. They can and they have. But they have also sought normal relations and to be thought of as more than a thugocrisy.......and were making good progress. Thats gone. Friendship and business is a two way street. They will lose far more then they will gain. Taking on Crimea financially,is a loss. Politically,it`s a loss. The loss of all future endeavors w/ America and Europe and friends is by far out weighed by a little chunk of land. They will also get more and more sanctions if they continue. I`m ok with the ruskies going back to no American cigarettes and never enjoying Europe for another half century.....

But an important military asset.

Owner59 -> RE: Ukraine (3/18/2014 1:58:30 PM)
We all though we we past that ....well most all. We have our old farts here....pushing old paranoias , so it`s no surprise that Ukraine/Moscow has their own set of jerk-offs,pushing them too. But a provocative cold war policy is much more costly than sticking to their agreements. No one but the putin-ass-lickers and a few gopeers believes putin`s story that his troops are on a humanitarian rescue mission.

The fact is you are a card-carrying member of the flat earth society than denies global warming. If you can't get those facts right, it's hard to take you seriously about foreign affairs. Next, if you really feel badly for the Ukraine, why don't you travel there and help man the barricades -- why do you need "big government" to do a job you can undertake yourself? You want to offer American support for the Ukraine, well, get your butt over there.

Third, get your butt over there.

Yes, clearly meant to insult. Nobody deserves to see this treatment go on of legitimate posting. Just because you disagree does give you license to be insulting.

~FR~ The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances is a political agreement signed in Budapest, Hungary on 5 December 1994, providing security assurances by its signatories relating to Ukraine's accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The Memorandum was originally signed by three nuclear-powers, the Russian Federation, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents.[1] The memorandum included security assurances against threats or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine as well as those of Belarus and Kazakhstan. As a result Ukraine gave up the world's third largest nuclear weapons stockpile between 1994 and 1996.[2][3] Following the 2014 Crimean crisis, the U.S. and U.K. both separately stated that Russian involvement is in breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum, and in clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.[4][5] [6] Source from Wiki

Hmm.. judging from the storming of the ukrainian naval base this morning.. no. 3. Has russia stopped laying the ground work for intervention in eastern ukraine ? No. Go read up on russian support for activist groups there. 4. Has russia returned the gas pipeline station it siezed in the Ukraine? No. See unlike you, I actually read current events. Do you really thing the dispatch of a single american destroyer to the black sea for naval exercises constitutes effective response. A single destroyer.. Really? What exact message do you think that sends? That we are pathetic, weak, have no response? Me too.

Good one.... This is what the lunatic fringe thinks of their hero pootie..... "Putin decides what he wants to do, and he does it in half a day, right? He decided he had to go to their parliament — he went to their parliament, he got permission in 15 minutes.” Cavuto then awkwardly interrupted, noting that Putin’s move was “perfunctory” since Russia’s parliament is essentially a dummy rubber-stamp for the Putin regime. Giuliani completely ignored this point from Cavuto and continued. “[H]e makes a decision and he executes it, quickly. And then everybody reacts. That’s what you call a leader,” Giuliani said. Besides direct evidence of a hot man-crush......our cons are redefining what democratic leadership is with what a tyrant is.......and bashing our good President for not being a tyrant.

We don't have a defense treaty. Ukraine is not a NATO country.

If you are so he'll bent for action, join the Ukrainian militia and help man the barricades.

I provided a list of possible responses earlier. None of them sending combat troops. Some things I would consider: Selling modern military equipment to Ukrainians on a lend lease basis, with or without trainers. Send a task force to the black sea. Cut off Russian access to the Internet. (I know.. not a popular idea here). Put a ban on American oil companies participation in siberian oil field development. (Which the russians are desperate for). Announce preferred trading status for Ukraine. Remove prefer trading status for Russia. Expel russia from G-8. Expel the russian ambassador. Pass the keystone pipeline and sign preferred LNG gas contracts with Ukraine. Expedite the development of the poish radar and check anti missile site. Suspend all visa's for Russians visiting the US.
