Kiev is Burning... Who's gonna bring the gasoline?

Before we jump to conclusions and engage ourselves and our resources in another protracted unwinnable military engagement we should think things through about this whole Ukrainian quagmire. 

First, it's really Not our fight. Haven't we learned anything from the past?

Second, look how quick the media was to begin pounding on the war drums and to denounce Russia, Putin and their motivations. Not to mention, and this is key to understanding what's really going on, how fast the IMF was to offer funds to counter the Russian 'offensive'.

I'm not Russian, nor a Communist sympathizer. I just care too much about democracy to let well-organized militias backed by huge financial interest to cause any more unnecessary war. Particularly when American lives are at stake. 

Sorry, I've already lost too many brave men and women in my generation to even consider sending any more to die for a cause that is in no way ours.

Sorry IMF, do your own dirty work!

And that's my two cents.
