SocraticGadfly: Obama gaffe, Biden delivery, on Ukraine?

Obama gaffe, Biden delivery, on Ukraine?

I agree with Vice President Joe Biden that we don’t want Russia dictating American foreign policy, but to continue to offer Ukraine open-door support for NATO admission is stupid, in my book.

First, as with Georgia (the nation), would we really go to war over Ukraine? Doubtful. So, why irritate Russia further? A “strategic ambiguity” makes more sense.

That would be enough, I think, to keep Russia honest without yet another “entangling alliance.”
