Did you hear the clip in which Obama says :
Obama: ?We have to Twist Arms when Countries don?t do What we Need them to Do?
If ONE country has been doing this, it is the USA ( now thru NATO ) .... doesn't make what other does right, but does explain it.

Twisting arms does not mean secretly sending in tens of thousands of troops with tanks and missile launchers. Russia is trying to quietly subdue an entire country by force while pretending not to. First they took Crimea, now Eastern Ukraine, and then next year they will take the rest.
If Russia is not involved, why doesn't the US just send in troops to support the Ukrainian government? We wouldn't get into a war with Russia because they aren't there.
I understand Russia's concerns. Traditionally since the end of WWII they have wanted huge buffer zone of puppet states between them and Europe. But the truth is everyone wants to be a part of Europe and no one really wants to be a part of Russia. It's not like Germany is going to be invading any time soon.
