Obama Rules Out 'Military Excursion' in Ukraine

Well now Ukraine knows for certain that it is on its own.

As Victor Davis Hanson observed our President excels at calmly talking
nonsense, "from the trivial to the profound".

"We are not going to be getting into a military excursion in Ukraine," he
said in an interview with KNSD in San Diego. "What we are going to do is
mobilize all of our diplomatic resources to make sure that we've got a
strong international coalition that sends a clear message, which is that
Ukraine should decide their destiny."

"There is a better path, but I think even the Ukrainians would acknowledge
that for us to engage Russia militarily would not be appropriate and would
not be good for Ukraine either," he added.

In a separate interview with KSDK in St. Louis, Obama reiterated that a
military option is not on the table but that the United States and its
allies are prepared to take "even more disruptive economic actions."

"Obviously, we do not need to trigger an actual war with Russia," he said.
"The Ukrainians don't want that. Nobody would want that."

Well yes, Ukraine would want that! Ukraine wants us to come kick the
Russians' ass and send them running home with their tails between their
legs. Why else would Ukraine seek to ally themselves with us? After all, the
Ukrainians divested themselves of their nuclear weapons, as well as
thousands of tons of conventional  munitions, on the promise that the USA
would  guarantee their security. Then Senator Obama was even part of the
U.S. delegation that made that promise to Ukraine.

"The media, of course, accepts that what Obama says on any given day will
contradict what he has said or done earlier [13], or will be an exaggeration
or caricature of his opponents' position, or simply be detached from
reality. But in their daily calculus, that resulting chaos is minor in
comparison to the symbolic meaning of Obama. He is, after all, both the
nation's first African-American president and our first left-wing
progressive since Franklin Roosevelt."

Well, we may as well admit it, we're done fighting foreign wars. Not going
to do it anymore.
