The Ukraine

Post by Spidey »

This question is directed at slick or anyone else that thinks we should do something about Russia’s incursion into Ukraine.

Question: Exactly what should the US do in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine?

But before you answer consider these:

1 Ukraine is not a member of NATO
2 President Obama already sent additional troops and equipment into NATO countries
3 Sanctions haven’t worked
4 The popular opinion that the US should stop being the world’s police

Personally, we should do nothing. I agree with you that we are not the world's police.

I've said this for ages, the US should stop trying to police the world.

the issue is primarily Europe's, but we have a standing agreement, if I recall, through NATO that would obligate us to act.
