Sheldon Richman has said some great things about the situation regarding the Ukraine.
One is constantly reminded by events of how childish political leaders are. Putin in Russia and various American politicians act like the Ukraine is some playground and the inhabitants are plastic legos ( TM ) that can be tossed around , set on fire and then be buried.
There are some very positive things that the USG and the POTUS can do.
#1 Start shutting down NATO. This will reduce tensions and have the added benefit of reducing government waste ( $$$ ).
#2 Invite Ukrainian entrepreneurs to a big love fest in various US cities. Drop travel restrictions. ( Do NOT have USG spend $$$ ) Start eliminating barriers to doing business with US companies. ( For everyone , not just Ukrainians )
#3 Invite Putin and Russian entrepreneurs to the love fest as well. Apologize for past insults to Russia.
#4 Invite the world's entrepreneurs to the love fest.
