    That's funny. I tried not answering yours and you respond with "fail" or some shit.

    My point is why are we deciding whats right in the world? Why can't we let them figure it out. I don't see how Crimea being a part of Russia affects the US.

    We are the Superpower. Without the US, nothing is possible. With the US, everything is possible.

    We signed a treaty with Russia guaranteeing Ukrainian sovereignty. They broke it. Now they must suffer some consequences for it.

    I don't know I'm kind of with 123 in the grand scheme of things, we are too busy interfering and playing World Police that we have neglected this country.

    I'd much rather spend that money on our people than trying to fix the world.

    Short term memory issues 123? Here is your quote I replied to. "Wanting to be apart of a country is not the same as starting a civil war/voting for slavery...."
    What part of the phrase starting a war didn't you understand? As Red just said you ask endless question and take no notice of facts when you debate. You know I often agree with your points (except your isolationism) but your arguments can be childish.

    Not once did I say anything about the south starting a war. YOU brought that up. I mentioned a civil war but it had nothing to do with the U.S.

    Isolationism. LOL so wanting to back off of Ukraine is isolationism.

    I am saying we have neglected our country and I'd rather focus on our country more and let some other countries step up every once and a while.....

    It is true that there is a proper balance to be achieved here, but neither can be neglected.

    Is there some reason we can't do both? We've always managed to before. It's not a zero-sum game.

    No but saying, "why are we deciding whats right in the world? Why can't we let them figure it out. I don't see how Crimea being a part of Russia affects the US." Sounds a lot like isolationism.
