Just how long will it be before the news media will post the headline, 'Russian troops march into eastern Ukraine!' I'd
say not very long and I say this for a rather simple reason. It takes
a lot of rubles to support a standing army stationed on another
country's border. Russia currently has somewhere between fifty and one hundred
thousand troops on the Ukrainian border. Russia, with not so very deep economic pockets, one has to wonder just how far into April we'll get before either an
invasion takes place, or the troops will be sent back home to refit? Here's a hint! The later will not happen!
And what of our great President during this critical period of time? I can personally
guarantee that Obama will do absolutely nothing. He might shake his
finger, he might bow some more... But, as far as offering any real
resistance? You can forget about it. Europeans are already aware
of this fact and are preparing to cower in unison as the next of a series of Russian
takeovers kicks into a higher gear.
President Obama may even be calculating, something along the lines that if he can just stall long enough, World War III will be the problem of some other President! A bit of a fetch, I agree. The thing is, I know that many of us Americans are sick and tired of waging war. God knows we've been involved in enough conflicts. Lives have been lost, blood has been spilled and trillions spent. But, our willingness to get involved when other people's rights are trampled is exactly what's set our country apart from all the others! Now is not the time to turn our backs on those in need!
