The countries of the former Warsaw pact are democracies that are free to choose closer relations with Russia if they wish. And they do not wish to do so at this time. The next generation of Russians can learn a lesson and learn to play nice, and maybe they will have better luck with those countries.

First, we have one vote to risk nuclear war with Russia, which happens to be led by a maniacal dictator. All to save the guy who decided to piss him off. (Mr. Z)

Second, I am an American born and raised. You have no right to tell me how to think in order to be one. This rhetoric as was popular the last few years in silencing people with opposing views ( a Nazi tactic) but are now being ignored. Unless you are just trying to get a rise from me. I now have to question your motives.

I'm starting to suspect English is your second language, because all I said was "should". I am not demanding you think a certain way. That would be unamerican of me. I am telling you that you should think a certain way, and yes you are free to ignore my opinion on that. 

But your first claim is more troubling than your second. You claim that Mr. Z did something to piss Putin off. What was it? Ukraine has been trying to join NATO ever since they got independence, so it's not that.
