How is this different from the Bush administration's response to Russia invading Georgia? Is the Bush admin considered feckless for their milquetoast response to the previous Russian incursion? Or do we have to apply some double standard as a poster above implies? What is the criteria for applying that double standard?
I hope you are not referring to me regarding your statement about double standards. I honestly remember very little about the Georgia affair and Cheney's involvement in it so it would be foolish for me to comment on it. I don't have the time to read up on it today but if it went down as you have indicated it likely made us look weak. There are few things that upset me as much as empty threats.

So then, there's your answer, no, we won't end up looking any more foolish this time than we did last time.
It's not like this hasn't happened before for us to look back on as an example.
The problem with Americans (and also their saving grace) is that we DON'T look back - we look forward. This leads us to have, in general, a VERY poor understanding of history.
