Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.

Crimea is lost. Unfortunately, the EU nor the US saw this coming and when we did we were too slow to act. Still think Russia may not stop at Crimea, Putin is a serious threat to the rest of the Ukraine and quite frankly, Im surprised we are not seeing this and reacting.

Any type of sanctions are slow moving and you cant just flick a switch unless you are throughly prepared. Obama, the US government and our intelligent community werent prepared for Russia to invade.

To the rest of the world, this is an embarrassment for the Europeans and especially the US. I think if we should respond at least with something else besides costs or threats.

How it is an embarrassment?
We are not protectors of the world (despite the world police argument and stuff).
We didn't let any bad thing happen.
Russia has been frog marching the Crimea since WWII anyway.
We don't owe the Crimeans anything.
