  1. Ukraine situation Trenton McGuire

  2. Situation As the crisis in Ukraine continues to unfold rapidly, Republicans aren’t waiting for the dust to settle before declaring that they saw it coming. Predictions from the likes of President Obama’s 2008 presidential opponents Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Sarah Palin, and Obama’s 2012 Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney are making 2014 seem like a hangover of presidential election’s past. Remember that hot mic moment in the heat of the 2012 elections when President Obama was caught promising Vladimir Putin more “flexibility” after he was re-elected? Well McCain does. “By the way, a couple of my favorites: ‘Tell Vladimir that I’ll be more flexible when I’m re-elected.’ Tell Vladimir I’ll be more flexible when I’m re-elected?” said McCain at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference in Washington today, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

  3. Situation cont. “This is the ultimate result of a reckless foreign policy where nobody believes in America’s strength anymore,” he added. Indeed, it seems that those who have been beating the drum about Putin’s cold war aspirations are feeling somewhat vindicated. Supporters of Romney, who has so far been absent from the recent fray on Russia’s bold move to essentially occupy Crimea, are quick to argue that his 2012 declaration of Russia as the U.S. “number one geopolitical foe” was anything but a gaffe. At the time, Democrats mocked him, and even President Obama used the comments to attack Romney in a debate.

  4. Topics • Responsibility • Entitlement of ones actions • Absurdity of our government

  5. Prompt • In light of the republicans outburst to president Obama announcing that they saw the Ukrainian situation coming. Write a well developed essay in which you defend, refute or qualify that the United States gov. should have taken precautionary steps for this situation.
