Support what troops? U.S Troops in the Ukraine?
There are no troops...and there aren't going to be any. Except for the possible slight change of the position of a warship or two way out to sea, there is going to be zero US military involvement in this event.
I'm not so sure I'm confident that "kicking Russia's ass" in its own neighborhood would exactly be a layup...
All the tough talk posturing and bluster that has come from both the administration AND the GOP has been so much bullshit...
And beyond that...how dangerous and fluid is the situation, really - when the US Secretary of State AND the Russian Foreign Minister are openly hanging out together in Kiev - I mean, really?
Notice how nobody is talking anymore about what a fuck up the ACA is anymore all of a sudden?
Putin and Obama have some kind of deal goin' down...exactly what it is, very few people will ever know...I never will...
...but I do know a grift when I see one...
My point was that the Right should not be attacking Obama at thus time. It is possible, though hopefully will be avoided, that US troops will be sent in at some point.
Not saying no one should question decisions made by the Commander in Chief in these types of situations, but one should assess whether their issue is solely because the President is in the opposing party or is it a legit concern that even people in their own party are seriously raising? If all the complaints are solely one sided, that is a good indicator that it is political BS and has really nothing to do with the actual situation where troops have high potential to be risking their lives. Have some more respect for those brave men and women than to allow political BS be the primary concern. If there is a legit issue, the same party as the president should have the integrity to raise it.
Not saying it will ever be that way, but it should be.
