    Moscow just announced that it will change it's stance over Iran Nukes due to the Ukraine thing.

    They haven't said specifically what yet, still waiting for that.

    But if they are going to say Iran can have nukes if the West doesn't let them have Ukraine... I personally think we should order the bombers to take flight and go to Defcon 1 and ask Putin if he wants to reconsider.

    Wonder if Ukraine military will attempt force ... but a lot of their forces are in the Crimea and are effectively blockaded.

    This. Without at least a threat of force, diplomacy is never taken seriously.

    Lightning has killed more Americans in the last forty years than terrorism.

    I agree to an extent. The ability to use force (actually having some significant military capability) and signaling the readiness to use force is a prerequisite to true diplomacy. The threat or actual implementation of economic sanctions can only go so far, as history and present day demonstrates. As Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick."

    You'd have complained about Obama no matter what he did.

    When did Obama ever "talk tough on Syria"? And of course he'd have to go through Congress, he's a president not a dictator. Same with this situation.
