Putin is fighting the same fight we are against Islamic violence - violence happening around the world in every country in the world (except, apparently, Greenland).

Do I know for sure? No clue. But I it makes me wonder if that's what is at the root of this?
I keep track of such events.

With our current administration, involving the U.
S. would probably be a really bad idea. Like many other fights of this type, we have moved in, cleaned things up a bit, then move out. This action is usually followed by another, far worse, invasion of the country which leaves a great many more dead.
Once you take another country under your wing, you'd best be prepared to stay with it for a very long time and the U.S. simply can't afford that expense at this point. All one has to do is look at a country, like the Philippines. We moved in during WWII and remained there what...40, 50 years? Look at where that country is, just a few years after the U.S. pulled out.
This video moves me! I will do anything I can to support these O'So Brave! Kids. My problem is that I am short on ideas about how to help them. I welcome suggestions.
The point is, what do you know about the resistance movement and the govt in power? You DO know about the Russian govt, but what if the current govt in the Ukraine is communist, highly socialist? What if they are just a different stripe from from the Russian govt? still want to help them? We need more information....
Think back to the 1970s, or farther to the end of WWII. Kissinger was outed by Polish Army Intelligence officer Colonel General Michael Goleniewski, as a member of ODRA. This was a spy ring which was part of the Soviet intelligence network headquartered in West Germany. This was before Kissinger returned to the US and Harvard.
Later, as Sec. of State, Kissinger made some questionable appointments, with some being admitted communists.
By about 1976, Kissinger let it be know he believed, that by controlling food, once can control people, and by controlling energy, especially oil, one can control nations and their financial systems. By placing food and oil under international control along with the world's monetary system, a loosely knit world government could become reality by 1980. ("The Rockefeller Files", Gary Allen).
So, is this the outcome that Objectivist want to see happen? Is this what the people in the Ukraine understand, while we listen to smooth words. Remember, Rand understood there people and how the operate. Is it Putin we really should watch, or had we better clean up our own government, as it is from within that the communists will take us down.
Personally, I am not at all sure Obama, Putin and Kissinger are not after the same end goal, and it will not be what we will like.
You are probably a really nice person. So don't take this too seriously, i.e., my criticism.
Live Long & Profit
Our Federal government is completely incompetent. From what I see of his actions, Obama is pro-Islam and anti-Christian. He is on the wrong side. He has not deterred but strengthened and encouraged radical Islam.
Getting the Keystone pipeline going would send another signal, as would removing the restriction on selling U.S. crude overseas. We could also encourage our Arab allies to step up oil and natural gas shipments to keep the energy market stable.
Giving the green light for U.S. energy producers to help the Israelis get their natural gas undersea finds into the market quickly would also create another source for Southern Europe. Russia's wealth comes from their raw materials sales, so anything we can do to shrink their share of the world market can start to throw sand in the gears of what could become a real threat to all of Europe.
At this point it may be a case of having to enable Ukraine to make a comeback, since we've allowed this situation to develop for so long.
It may be entirely inter-provincial squabbling, as the Athabasca oil sands are located almost entirely within Alberta, and the Keystone pipeline route cuts across the corner of Saskatchewan. The route section of the latter province is short, and since First Nations workers participate heavily in energy construction, that may mean fewer jobs (and tax revenue) for Saskatchewan.
That said, do you wonder how american communists respond to all the monarch like opulence these communist leaders enjoy? If everyone is so equal while do their leaders live as uber rich? Isn't that supposed to be the opposite of what communism is all about?
Europeans learn English and other languages in
school, from elementary up. It is part of their
education unlike in the U.S. where not too much
emphasis is put on languages.
