Boom, boom. Hear the war drums.<p>Our problem is that there are too many very wealthy people who make too much money sending poor and middle class kids to war.<p>I can't talk to what Russia is doing because I am unsure of the details. Still Hiliary Clinton seems to be "pot calling the kettle black" in the sense that in my lifetime my government (USA) has invaded many countries, attempted and sometimes succeeded in overthrowing many governments (many of which were democracies that were not rolling over for elite financial interests).<p>For those of us Americans who love our country, it is really time to make our voices heard by: get to know your Congress critters, donate money to ACLU+EFF+FSF, etc. It is also important to understand that the Clintons, the Bushes, Obama, etc., etc. are owned by the financial elite - bought and paid for.<p>I am not sure, but I think the very best thing to do is crowd funding organizations that support the interests of common (non-elite) people.
Interesting that Hillary is parroting the words of Canada’s Conservative government and is then praised by John McCain.<p><a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/john-baird-compares-russia-s-actions-in-ukraine-to-nazi-invasion-of-czechoslovakia-1.2558118" rel="nofollow">http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/john-baird-compares-russia-s...</a>
Hillary is not the best when it comes to foreign policy. She supported the Iraq war (which instead of appearing 'tuff ended up costing her the nomination and the presidency), she backed the laughable accusation that Gaddafi was supplying Viagra to Libyan troops, and now this stupid comparison.<p>That being said at this point she looks to win in '16
And here's a view from another angle:

I wonder how the US would react if Crimea pulled a Texas? Declare independance from Ukraine, then request protection and anexation by Russia?<p>They could become the Lone Hammer state
