I'm currently voting for John McCain as Grey Champion. Lord knows I disagree with him on a host of issues, but I don't doubt his good faith affection for the best for our country.

There are a lot of moving parts here. Given the equivocal nature of Trump's relationships with Putin and Russia, one can't help but wonder what might be on the menu for other eastern European countries in the face of the possibility of Trump thinking he can "make a deal" with Putin or whatever the hell is in Trump's head.
If, on the other hand, some serious posturing were done in the Ukraine, Putin might take pause in his re-taking/rebuilding the good old USSR.
Sure, it's risky. Everything is risky. So is allowing Putin to do whatever the hell he wants to do. And Trump may be the guy to allow that.
So, if you were President, what would be YOUR overall strategy in projecting, or not projecting, the U.S.'s perspective into the world at large?
-- l pretty much agree with Rags- we need to stay/butt out (whichever applies) of other countries affairs. I've always found it hypocritical that the Govt- this so-called bastion of democracy- props up dictators & thugs, occasionally even overthrowing a democratically elected govt (hello Chile, Honduras, to name 2 off the top of my head) & now this misadventure in the Ukraine. l generally consider it hyperbolic when folx compare your run of the mill garden variety thug to Hitler, but in the case of these Ukranians there might be something to it considering their daddies & grandaddies were probably working for the Real Thing back in the day. And McStain, et al, is propping up this scheisse. Pretty disgusting imho
Putin is a threat to all Western democracies and your sucking up to him is disgusting. We need to double on Ukraine, bring them into NATO and arm them. All you isolationist fools can scream bloody murder all I care.
