Stay out of the Ukrainian situation. Leave it alone and stop acting as the worlds police force.

Created by M.O. on March 24, 2014

Whatever the outcome in Ukraine, I'll bet most Americans want us to keep hands off. I'm sorry for everyone in that beleaguered country, but dragging the United States into a military confrontation with Russia would be reckless ("Obama, Kerry condemn Russian 'aggression' in Ukraine as U.S. readies aid," March 4).

Right now, it looks like President Barack Obama is the only one standing up to President Vladimir Putin. Instead, I think we should "lead from behind" since the Ukraine conflict is in Europe's neighborhood, not ours.

I'm not a Russian apologist nor a Putin groupie, I'm just wary of America's expensive involvement in non-strategic locations. We need to renounce our policy of policing the world. And where we have no legal obligation to intervene, we should stay away.
