we're being snookered and Putin has caught us being stupid....Again!!. The best way to cripple an already weakened economy and an already fractured and crippled social order is to sucker them into a Carpathian style Viet Nam. Let's all sit back and watch billions bleed out of our economic base to prop up a border state whose only real virtue is that it's a buffer between a collection of weak countries who need oil and a strong one who has oil. Honestly-- isn't this exactly how Viet Nam started. Have we learned nothing??
