Political or international pressure...sure go for it! But not as the leader, as a supporter of UN action.
Foreign aide? I say not one flippin penny of my tax dollars.
And I say we stay completely out of it, until the UN does its flippin job. UN starts the sanctions, then the US votes for it as a follower. If we lead it, we become the target for opposing radicals, an when the first Ukrainian sponsor attack hits a US territory or activity, then we will be committing troops and $$$$$$$.
