RE: Russia Is Sooooo Far Away

This is a tough one because for years people have chosen to vilify the US and complain about how we are always getting involved in stuff that isn't our business. It's going to be interesting to see how much everything just falls apart when if/when we finally do just that. Or maybe it will all work out. I kind of doubt it though.

I am not a fan of T.R.'s imperialism. Vietnam, Iraq tragic missteps. But we don't live in a world where putting our head in the sand means others will ignore us. There is a distinction between imperialism and proactive self interest.
We have to recognize threats/dangers (or our leaders have to) before they are at our doorstep.
We don't live in a nice world. I wish we did.
It's a fine line for sure. Probably with no easy solutions either.
