Ukraine Crisis

[Franzl]

Well looks like I chose a good time to visit Ukraine last month, before the sh**t hit the fan...

Go meddle in your own f**king hemisphere, please.

Our interests expand beyond our own hemisphere, sorry.

Who cares about the Ukranian people, right, as long as it serves American interests.

So we should just embrace geopolitical sociopathy instead of backing away from it?

If only life were that simple. "Geo-political sociopathy" is geo-politics. Not to say there isn't room for humanitarianism (for example I think we should've intervened in Rwanda) but at the end of the day we have to do what is necessary lest our enemies gain the upper hand.

Spoken like a true HP. Congratulations.

Sorry real life is to "mean" for your tastes.

So does anybody have any factual disagreements with my assertion?

You misunderstand me. I'm not commenting on what may or may not influence American foreign policy. Rather, I'm personally identifying you as an HP, the reasons for which you've demonstrated quite well in this thread. I imagine you won't have the slightest idea why, but that's ok.

I'm sorry if the type of cynicism that's required to make foreign policy for a major power is too much for you to understand. This isn't exactly anything new.

And of course you haven't demonstrated actual factual reasons to disagree with my assertion so whatever.

As I expected.

My guess is that Russia will annex Crimea.

Brilliant guess there.

Who thinks this could set a dangouse precident for other counties. 

No, I don't think it will set a dangouse precident for other counties.
