There is a lot going on in the world right now and the US cannot open up battle fronts everywhere all at once. Iraq is the place to be right now since that is where we fear a genocide. The others are disputes over territory. I don't agree. I think Ukraine is the more urgent because of Russia's role. Putin is very dangerous.........IMO much more dangerous to the US and the EU than ISIS is.

In another sign that the rebellion may be losing steam, several other rebel leaders with links to Russia have quietly left the region in the past few weeks. The Russian commanders "are fleeing like rats," said Andrei, a 27-year-old rebel in Donetsk. Like other locals who have joined the separatist cause, he gave only his first name out of fear of retribution either from the rebel leadership for speaking freely or from the Ukrainian authorities for taking up arms. "We had hoped for help from Moscow, we had expected Russian troops, but Russia betrayed us," Andrei said. "Many fighters are beginning to think about their future and also are escaping to Russia." businessweek.com
