Chimpy never seems to tire of conflict, even though his love of conflict has gutted our ground capabilities and emptied our Treasury. Take as a perfect example the moronic monkey’s recent rush to recognize Kosovo, which was sure to inflame Serbia and Russia both. Why couldn’t the Clinton-era policy of an unofficial Kosovo be kept? You know why, don’t you?Today, we get another example of the stupidity of Chimpy. Allowing Ukraine into NATO would do damn all for the security of either Europe or the United States. As a matter of fact, it may well ave the effect of further inflaming Russia and setting off a brand-new Cold War. Maybe even a hot one. For what? What on Earth would we gain from willingly spilling more blood and treasure to defend Ukraine?

Ukraine has always been in Russia’s sphere of influence, and they should handle Russia in their own way. Their best hope for a peaceful co-existence with Russia is to practice their own form of detente with Russia. Their best chance of conflict with Russia lies in NATO membership, which Russia would rightly see as an encirclement. Why create a conflict where none needs to exist? The Ukrainian people know this all too well, but they appear to be loaded down with stupid at the top just like we are.

And Georgia? Georgia doesn’t even exist; it’s de facto partitioned off into pro-Russia and anti-Russia spheres of influence. What are we going to do, pick a side and fight on it?

I guess that’s just the sort of thing you do if you’re a coke-snorting coward who took great pains to make sure you were never near a battlefield. If you’re a coward like Chimpy or Cheney, the bullets apparently don’t mean much to you if you know that it’ll always be someone else catching them.

US President George W. Bush was to affirm on Tuesday his support for the NATO membership goals of ex-Soviet Ukraine, during a European tour focused on the alliance and relations with Russia.

Bush arrived here late Monday and was to be greeted with full honours by President Viktor Yushchenko at the start of a tour that takes him to a summit of the NATO military alliance on April 2-4 in Romania and later to Russia for one-to-one talks with President Vladimir Putin.

Ahead of the visit Bush stressed his support for the NATO membership aspirations of this country of 47 million people that lies between NATO and the European Union to the west and Russia to the east.

“I do know that one of the signals we’re going to have to send, and must send, is there is a clear path forward for Ukraine and Georgia” on NATO, Bush said.

En route to Kiev, US national security adviser Stephen Hadley told journalists Bush was “pushing hard” for Ukraine and fellow aspirant Georgia to be offered Membership Action Plans at this week’s summit — a formal step to membership.

Analysts doubted however there would be the necessary consensus in NATO for such a move, partly due to tensions with Moscow.

Demonstrations earlier on Ukraine’s politically sensitive Crimea peninsula and in Kiev underlined significant opposition to NATO membership within Ukraine, as well as Russia’s vehement opposition to NATO enlargement.

The Russian president, who hands over in May to a man equally sceptical of NATO, president-elect Dmitry Medvedev, was to attend the meeting in Bucharest as a guest, before holding weekend talks with Bush at his Black Sea coastal residence.

Mindful of his legacy and of his favoured candidate at upcoming US elections, John McCain, Bush is seeking a softening of Russian opposition to US plans to set up missile defence sites in the Czech Republic and Poland, said Moscow-based defence analyst Pavel Felgenhauer.

Bush also hopes for Russian agreement to letting NATO move supplies through Russia en route to Afghanistan, said Felgenhauer. “It’s a grand deal that involves a lot of things outside — not only Ukraine and Georgia,” he said.

Please, make this idiot go the hell away.
