If the United States intends to bring Georgia and Ukraine into NATO and arm them to fight Russia, why should Russia not dissolve the Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe and move her tank armies into Belarus and up to the borders of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania?

Would we send U.S. troops into the Baltic republics to signal that we will fight Russia to honor our NATO war guarantees? Which NATO allies would fight alongside us against a nuclear-armed Russia?

If we bring Ukraine into NATO, what do we do if Russified east Ukraine secedes and Russia sends troops to back the rebels? Do we send warships into Russia's bathtub, the Black Sea, and commit to fight as long as it takes to restore Ukraine's territorial integrity?

In March 1939, Britain pledged to declare war and fight Germany to the death to guarantee the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Poland. How did that one turn out for Britain and Poland?

Before we start down the road of isolating and encircling Russia with weak NATO allies, let us think through Gen. Petraeus' question in 2003 about Iraq, "Tell me, how does this thing end?"

But, then, these folks never seem to think anything through.

... the last two that violated russia territorial integrity ...
... were napoleon and hitler ...
... russia lost 15 million people in the second war ...
... three times the combined losses of the whole west ...
... todays russia could have been part of NATO ...
... if it was not for the "special interests" ...
... of oil companies and churches ...
... 60 years of diplomacy progress thrown in the garbage ...
... by the last eight years of US neocon administration ...
... what a great job ...
... maybe they want all go see god ...
... and they will if america is not able ...
... to stop the washington bigots MADness ...

... amen ...
