      Russia's action in Crimea and Ukraine would be like annexing Baja CA or British Columbia.

      Moreover, that would be in OUR OWN FUCKING NEIGHBORHOOD, not imperialism on other side of the world. @kombiz @ThePlumLineGS

          no, her argument is oddly 19th century: imperialism is measured by distance from borders.

          your argument would make Manifest Destiny more defensible than protecting Rwandans.

          Obama has been trying to get out of Iraq. There's a little problem called ISIS over there.

          Russia's actions in Syria, as awful as they are, are more defensible than their actions in Ukraine/Crimea

          annexing your neighbors--whom you annexed before!--is far WORSE than intervening in a civil bloodbath.
