FYI, it is an obligation of the USA to defend any member of NATO that is attacked. Are you not familiar what NATO is? Are you not familiar with what a treaty is? Anyone who would advocate Georgia joining NATO after the recent behavior of GA's hot headed president has to have her head examined. And to further embroil the US into a war over the matter borders on the insane.

Georgia and Ukraine should concentrate getting into EU and not NATO. I thought expanding nato was fine. It started getting a bit hairy with the Baltic states with large russian populations. East Ukraine is how much Russian and how much Ukranian? We cant have border swaps as done by nazis and soviets in WW2 but we might have to do some adjusting thru some sort of international organization or court. Where populations are now just as important as the historical geographical boundaries. You have some personal insight on this that is valuable. Lets stop name-calling the russians soviets and view what they did in perspective while justly condemning them for invading GA.

Neither georgia nor ukraine are part of NATO, nor should they be. That's exactly the kind of frightful prospect the republicans represent...Let's go and setup a conflict with Russia over regions of the world where their people are a majority. This woman is a cynical stunt...she doesn't have a clue. Her response to a question about her insight about Russia? *"They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."* If it wasn't sad it'd be funny. Russia did not have any defense treaty with Yugoslavia. So there is no parallel to defending a NATO member. Right...we don't with georgia in the NATO sense either. Still, they occupied the airport in Pristina when NATO went in to stop the madness and we had some tense moments there. Those are the little incidents that turn into catastrophic disasters. Al
