It is simply the reality of the situation, to pretend otherwise that Putin is not the agressor is extremely dangerous and outright blind to what is happening in eastern Ukraine. Maybe you could afford all the pseudo-intellectual babble that most of us here (including myself) are prone to do, but not the people of Ukraine.

We as Americans and as nation of liberators; and as a leader of the free world (I believe this firmly) have a responsibility to assist Ukraine through NATO on ensuring; that their wish to be free from the Russian agression will be met with, not only wordy assistance but back by tangible provitions, that can and will make an impact against the Putin backed agressions.
