  • John Brown Let 'em laugh -- but the Ukraine situation is essentially a European, not an American problem. Cold War days -- USA vs. USSR -- are mercifully over and now the Euros -- including the Russians (semi-Euros, like we Americans?) -- have to take care of their own regional "issues." Note: the American senator all for arming "Ukraine" is from Arizona -- a state where many of its taxpayers feel "threatened" by hispanic immigration -- in a country (the USA) where most citizens can't find Ukraine on the map 

  • and where many of  us in the USA are struggling to pay bills in order to "enjoy" a middle-class life per "former" American standards.  So, to be non-Wilsonian, let the "Russians" and "Ukrainians" live with/solve their own problems, with a European perspective, sparing them of an outdated USA-USSR  high-school basketball game called "a global competition" paradigm. 
  • I'd argue that the Cold War was over when Germany -- like it not -- was "reunited." I stand to be corrected. This reunification had little to do with the USA/USSR nuclear-war nonsense, but was in the national interests of European countries that depend on each other far more than Arizona depends on Europe..
