TakeYouToTasker Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Serious question, are you an isolationist at heart or do you think we have a role to play in keeping peace on the continent? I may be wrong, but if memory serves, GG is a neo-conservative; and believes in interventionism only as it serves American interets overseas.

Deranged Rhino Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 What you're seeing now is the direct result of an "isolationist by incompetence" foreign policy. How's that working out so far? Convenient time for Putin to start troop maneuvers on east Ukrainian border. Make no mistake, we're closer on this than I think you realize.

I take solace in that 99.9% of the people who use the term as a pejorative are clueless. (queue: bilzrul's driveby) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Pro Ukraine activists stepping up a little. Nice to see the Ukrainian soldiers get some love from their people in this video. Prior episode shows barbed wire fences that Russians have laid down in Crimea. It's amazing tensions haven't lead to any deaths yet. I think Dc Tom shows up at the 12 min mark. http://vice.com/vice-news/russian-roulette-the-invasion-of-ukraine-dispatch-seven?utm_source=vicetwitterus Edited March 13, 2014 by Ryan L Billz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Another Red Line? I've read that our natural gas production could help out in this situation as it could drive down Russian prices or simply lead to a whole sale switch if we decide we can export ours, though I understand that would leave us paying more for it. But we are not sending troops I sure as hell hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to our economic and political well being is sitting right under our feet and we have a president too beholding to the left wing nuts to do anything about it.

The coal companies are being regulated out of business by Obama's EPA rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
