Shades of Neville Chamberlain - "Peace in our Time" and Munich.....
You guys know that what Tabs is saying is right.....right? History is repeating itself with a couple of minor and one major change.
The couple of minor changes are that your allies have systematically allowed themselves to be dependent on the US for military projection and the children of this age have, thanks to "progressive" teaching a lack of principled approach to issues. As some of the comments in this thread witness, they prefer to do the expedient rather than the right thing.
The major change is sovereign debt, particularly the US, but also EU and most others. The only two major powers who can act unilaterally are Russia and China, neither of which have all that much difference from the Axis powers of the 1930's.
The principled course of action is for the US to rally its allies, recognize the Ukraine's new government, state clearly what the actions will be if Russia tries to subvert the will of the Ukrainian people.....and then do them.
Measured, thoughtful, unified response.
Not an 'effin chance of that happening though.
