I'm talking about a different issue. My point is this: if military force is desirable to counteract the "vacuum politics" you mention, it always works out better if that military force is an alliance, rather than the US acting alone.
History teaches us that calling for Obama to go it alone in the Crimea likely is calling for major unforeseen problems for the US down the road. Some folks need to be careful what they wish for.
This is a U.N. issue, we (the U.S.) do not need to take the point on this conflict.
A sovereign state has been invaded. It's very simple.

If I were Eastern Ukraine, I would be very worried about when Putin sets up a meeting with Obama, or if Obama sets a line in the sand.

Don't worry. I am sure there will be peace in our time.

Reading the news, intelligence reports are stating embedded with the troops are a good number of medical personnel and roaming military hospitals. Why would they need those?
