Cake, stop being so fucking naive with your Obama hate.
I'm not supporting any of his decisions or what he has done so far, but just because he's going to help out an ally of the United States doesn't mean he goes around starting wars with everyone.
And there's no way in hell Russia is going to back up USA, neither will the EU or the NATO. If USA is going to get involved in this and send troops, no one else will join in. We all learnt from the terrible things that happened throughout the Iraq war and already gave the statement that the Iraq war was a terrible defeat.
Then again ... I'm too busy joining student protests here in the UK because -snip, don't want to start a country war .. again-
