A lot of posturing in and around Ukrane these days. The US is certain that the Ruskies under Putin's control are attempting the start of WWIII. Guess what, it takes two to make a fight. I can think of no reason we need to be the second dog in the fight.
Clearly, we think that Putin is wrong in his thinking. Clearly, Russia believes we are wrong in our thinking. Who is right? I have an idea, lets let Russia and the Ukrane work out their differences. I see no reason for us to continue to try and impress our beliefs on yet another foreign country.
Lets look at recent history. We (the US) have certainly made messes in a number of countries of late. We have not changed Iran, Iraq, Afganistan, Korea, Viet Nam, etc.. I saw a blurb on the news that talks between Israel and Pakastan have stalled. WOW! That's news you don't hear more than a dozen or so times a year. We were upset that our efforts were fruitless. No kidding. We perpetually are working on peace in that area. They continue to fight and we continue to try and stop it.
A wise man once told me...continuing the same behavior over and over and expecting different results is the definition of stupid. Then again I guess that could apply to our whole political system.
Forest Gump said it well...STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.
