Ukraine; To interfere or not to.

America's foreign policy is quite intriguing! Months ago, the US was bent on invading Syria at all cost, today she's playing the role of the unbiased umpire, the defender of life and the rights of people to sovereignty in the Ukrainian crisis.

War drums on the streets of twitter, exacerbated by some hormones fueled news TV channels, a pop culture's love for confrontation with Russia-it's all good for business no? Syria's lesson quickly forgotten. America's stance still isn't clear, does America support foreign intervention in the affairs of sovereign state? Or does Washington reserve the right to decide which country exactly should be messed with and which should not be?


 Scary prospect especially when you consider that Washington which makes these decisions that affect millions around the globe spends half of the time fighting it's own congress, a quarter of the time under a threat of a government shutdown and the last quarter trying to balance its budget. Intriguing!
