re: Obama response to Ukraine vs other countries...

Poland got thrown under the bus a few years ago when we abandoned our plan to put missile defenses in there.

It's wasn't cancelled...it's supposed to be installed in 2018. And I still think it's a ridiculous waste of money.

For Ukraine and Iran, we either need to say nothing or mean what we say.

In Iran he voiced support for the right of the protesters...he didn't get into the internal struggle involving the presidency...because frankly he was trying to get to where we are today. And, additionally, there were basically no more sanctions to levy and short of military action words would have done nothing to change the outcome and the only result would have been a more hardened uncooperative regime.

Regarding the Ukraine - the EU and the US are threatening sanctions if the violence continues...that's about all the US can do...but I don't think we should even do that - it's not our problem.

More than that, what is missing is an American defense of liberty and democracy. Just imagine what Reagan would be saying if he was president and this crap was going down in the Ukraine. A real leader like Reagan could put on enough pressure through diplomatic means to get the Russians to back off. Putin knows he owns Obama and can have free rein anywhere in Eastern Europe.
