Invading and annexing the territory of another country is a it more than “dick waving.”
Should we nuke them? Surely not?
Let Europe handle her political disagreements. We have no place there. The present breathless escalation of tensions only leads to one place and it's not good at all.
Why is the United States taking the lead at all in a conflict between countries with a history of conflict longer than the US has been around? European powers routinely engage financially with Russia in the form of pipeline contracts, friendly coordination on multiple other areas such as environmental protection etc.
This is all just a proxy fight for the natural resources (Oil) in Crimea and Ukraine and that's disgusting.
