Ukraine crisis: Obama offers Russia resolution plan

[RobertEarl]

12. I wrote this earlier, to a DUkranian

And we see that the soldiers and their wives, together, have stood up for themselves. It is a great thing the people are doing. And doing it with no violence!!

Let me say this as clearly as I can. We Americans know that with our violence we can go anywhere and do anything we desire. We have had Presidents that lied to us, telling us that they needed to use our force to invade other countries, much as Hitler did. We too can be fooled. So we know. Some of our fathers fought in WW2. We know about war.

Now we don't want war. We don't want violence. We elected President Obama mainly because he held out the promise of using violence only as a last resort. We, and he, Obama, don't see using our force in your country or against Russia as a good idea. But we do stand ready to do what we can short of violence. Surely you do not want violence?

I can not speak for Obama much beyond that, but as for the Russians wanting to stay and keep their Navy in your country, it seems as though that is something to negotiate. And your example of standing up to the Russian soldiers without violence is a great example for us all to move forward in peace.

Remember, our country did invade and occupy with violence two countries, Iraq and Afghanistan, in the last 10 years. You really would not be all that safe depending on our military to solve your problems. But there are many other things we can do to help you, and rest assured, knowing that we Americans do support fully our country helping you in your quest to be free.

This will not be another world war. Putin, while not as bad as our Bush, is a dangerous man, but we think our President Obama and Sec. of State Kerry can deal with him and keep him from causing too much problem. He is no Hitler. Hitler was just flat out crazy. Putin has too much money to lose to go crazy.
