What do you consider morally acceptable U.S. responses to the situation in Ukraine?

[solarhydrocan]

12. "morally acceptable" and US in the same sentence? Absurd.

The United States has been involved in and assisted in the overthrow of foreign governments (more recently termed "regime change&quot without the overt use of U.S. military force. Often, such operations are tasked to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Regime change has been attempted through direct involvement of U.S. operatives, the funding and training of insurgency groups within these countries, anti-regime propaganda campaigns, coups d'état, and other activities usually conducted as operations by the CIA. The United States has also accomplished regime change by direct military action, such as following the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989 and the U.S.-led military invasion of Iraq in 2003.

How about setting an example and fixing the US before wondering how to get even further involved in other countries? To say nothing of the fact that the US is not only broke, but in debt.
