The Washington Times reports that the Obama Administration is not considering military options to deal with their problems in the Crimea. At least we can all agree on that;
White House press secretary Jay Carney said military action is “certainly not at the forefront of discussions” among the president and his top advisers, saying that Mr. Obama is looking instead at imposing further economic sanctions against Russian leaders for the takeover of Crimea.

“You can expect further costs to be imposed on Russia,” Mr. Carney said.
Some Republicans in Congress are calling for the U.S. to send military aid to Ukraine.
Mr. Carney said the president is very “clear-eyed” about his contentious relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and said he has been from the start of his presidency.
I hope Dumb and Dumber aren’t lying this time. It’s about time they learned to get themselves out of a jam without rattling sabers and sending the troops they treat so shabbily as their first response.
Their whole problem is that they caved to the Russians on every issue before this one from the missile shield for our allies in Europe and they caved on Syria. That sent the message to Russia that we’ll never stand in their way. And where is the UN’s paper tiger disapproval of Russia’s actions that solves all of the world’s problems?
“And where is the UN’s paper tiger disapproval of Russia’s actions that solves all of the world’s problems?”
That’s a joke right? The UN, doing anything except figuring ways for the US taxpayers to give them more money, is a waste of their time. I have said for years. Close down the UN and send all those ass holes home and then turn the UN building into great condos. They are know nothing, do nothings only concerned with their nation’s best interest (US dollars), not that of the world as they are chartered to be. Trying to get the UN to do anything of significance, is like trying to teaching a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.
Obama declining to interfere militarily reminds me of when Michael Jordan announced that he would not go on the PGA Tour as a professional golfer. I believe the same week I announced that I was declining to date Christie Brinkley, too.
Well – I wouldn’t look from anything from the UN since Russia has a permanent seat on the Security Council and can veto anything that’s tried.
