Crimea, Sevastopol, Russian Black Sea Fleet...all very
important....to Russia. But why to us? the United States? We have no treaty with
Ukraine, no vital interests there. Why are we getting involved?
Did the Russians get involved when we were busy
reservationizing (Is that a word?) Sitting Bull, Geronimo,
Elizabeth Warren, and all the rest?
"Harumph, harumph, we cannot abide such imperialism,"
said the British after finally being thrown out of every country in the world.
'The sun never sets on the British Empire.' Oh, sorry, that was last
week.
"Sacre Bleu, mon ami," said the French after Dien
Bien Phu finally ended 'French' Indo China. "Thees Russians, we
cannot allow this imperialism expansion. Who do they think they are? Us? Non,
Non. Non."
"Anyone want a waffle?" said the Belgian ambassador
after the last Belgian soldier left the Belgian Congo leaving it The just
plain Congo, the absolutely poorest country on the planet.

from the samovar,
Continuing to pursue a 'NATO Creep' policy
that tries to get all the countries that border Russia to become part of NATO
will eventually get someone hurt, maybe killed. Maybe better to stay home
and...have another waffle.
