Also, the USA should guarantee the independence and sovereignty of Ukraine. Also, the USA should announce new defense programs and initiatives to prepare for war in Europe.


Big bets aren't all that impressive when they're made with other people's money. Krauthammer sounds like a poliboard poster. No sane person would threaten WW3 over Ukraine.

Your boy, VOR said that none of Obama's critics had any ideas with regard to responding to Russia, so, I made this thread.

If you don't agree with me, that's fine.

None of my proposals should trigger any kind of war, much less WW3. However, if you desire to live in Peace, you'd better be prepared for War.

So, I say, make reasonable and concrete preparations for NATO and European self-defense.

There's no need to fight Russia. However, if Russia is not satisfied with Crimea alone, what do you propose?

Krauthammer sounded more vulnerable almost docile back in 2008 when he wasn't being a partisan hack:

"Well it's obviously beyond & our control . The Russians are advancing....There is nothing that will stop them. We are NOT going to war over Georgia....Because Ga is not a part of NATO, there's really no danger the USA or Europe will get involved.....


Now old Ironsides is suddenly Mr Blood & Guts when he feels he can score some political points for the GOP. Now he has all the damn answers.


After killing Osama Bin Laden (when Bush said he was unimportant) the Right needs something.

If your intent is to say Putin is insane, then just do so. He has gone beyond threatening war over Ukraine he has committed acts of war according to international law.

That's just what I was thinking. No one who advocates the things that Krauthammer does can credibly call himself a small-givernment, fiscal conservative. The primary responsibility of the POTUS is to protect America, not Europe, and if the Europeans aren't mobilizing for war, why should we get involved?
