I think this whole situation is one we need to keep out of dirrectly. Support NATO and have them do their thing. Other NATO countries need to man up.
This was the whole reason NATO was formed!
I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
Ukraine isn't a NATO member country, anyway.
I understand that Crimea/Ukraine isn't NATO. The point was that NATO was formed to prevent oppressive leaders from trying to take over other countries and come to their aid.
I wonder if any countries other than Sweden are considering joining NATO now.
Non-NATO countries can request NATO protection if they offered it.
Right next door you have Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia which are all NATO countries.
I bet the next thing we start seeing is peace treaties in neighboring countries with Russia around the Ukraine. Similar things were done at the beginning of WWII and then they attacked them too.
We all know that nobody breaks Peace Treaties... Right?

They can request it, but they aren't guaranteed protection. NATO is an organization of nations that agree to help other member countries in times of need.
Today's NATO is completely different from the 80s and 90s.. Heck you can barely recognize it from the 2000s.
The outgoing Secretary General wanted 50% tax when he was the pm of Denmark.. And the incoming SecGen is a Norwegian socialist who ran an aggressive environmental campaign when he was the tree hugger minister.
The era of good military leader is long gone.

Moscow accidentally releases real vote tally from Crimea referendum
As I type the above I just realize.. Post First World War, Western Europe and League of Nations were so afraid of war that they were all about disarming, sanctions, and appeasement... And they elected pussy leaders to make sure of it...Damn de ja vu

The recent news in the U.S. has reported that the U.S. Armed Forces are drawing down to pre-WWII levels, and the polls reflect the same sense of isolationism from the things happening in Europe that was prevalent in America in 1936-1940. I am not saying that there is an impending genocide going on in Europe, but there is a major conflict brewing and we again find ourselves turning a blind eye to the events just hoping to stay out of any conflict. History does have a way of repeating if we don't pay attention and make changes in how we deal with such matters.Originally Posted by ChunkyMonkey

Putin won't "accidently" release anything.
This is probably a fake story generated by the western press to bolster support for Ukraine's corrupt government and assimilation into NATO/EU.
I find it amusing when people state "we are drawing down". The US spends more on defense than Russia, China, and the EU combined, and we project more power around the globe than any other nation.
In regards to the Ukraine, why shouldn't we turn a blind eye? What threat does an impending civil war in that former Soviet state pose to the US or to its NATO allies? The lack of mail order brides?
