Well that's what we'll say if we don't want to jump in. But the fact is if Russia can act independently, so can the US.

I don't think the US will jump in, but the real reason is that its just not enough of a US interest. Maybe England UK or other US allies have more of a national interest there? If so that might be a factor but I don't know.

Fixed it, my bad sorry. God save the queen!

It's certainly encouraging to see that Paul and others - from both parties - obviously consider it a politically "safe" move.

That's what I like about Paul. He would be doing it even if it weren't a "politically safe" move. He's taken some unpopular stances before, but he's remained pretty ideologically consistent.

What do you think of Rand Paul's idea to have any government contracts for any business include a clause that they will not lobby or finance campaigns?

What's do you think is the difference between the mafia and the government, aside from scale?
