Poland, Austria and Czechoslovakia weren't our problems either. Neither was Hungary. Or East Germany. Or Syria.
We could be recognizing the new government in the Ukraine, rallying our European allies and imposing sanctions on Mr. Putin and preparing an aid package.
But Putin's attempt to rebuild the Russian empire and repress the will of the Ukrainians isn't our problem.
Until it is.

What a load of crap. Ukraine is one thing, Germany is another. Ukraine isn't our problem. Western Europe is. Frankly, I don't give a fsck if Putin takes Ukraine, or Lithuania, or Poland. He can have them all. Move into Germany or Austria, and get a full load of U.S. military pushed into his face. The U.S. can't be the whole world's cop. So don't even try. I don't want to spend money on all those eastern European countries. But I will spend my money on western Europe.
