Russia Shoots Down American Drone in Crimea!

Heavenly Father, give our President wisdom and courage in this time of provocation. You know that Russia is wrong and is the aggressor in this situation. You also know that our people are weary with war. I know that You have all things in Your Hands and I pray that you guide the decisions of our President with wisdom, courage and righteousness.

In the Name of Jesus Christ I pray.

Amen.

Re: Russia Shoots Down American Drone in Crimea!

Shooting down a drone is actually not that big of a deal. Shooting at a plane with people inside is a bigger deal, but if nobody dies nothing will probably be done.

You serious, bro? Do you really believe God wants obama and the US to retaliate with force against Russia? You really think America is the good guy in the situation, and Russia is some evil force?

I said it in another post and I'll repeat it here: Russia has more business in Crimea than we do. Russia had a treaty with the Ukraine government; it has military bases in Crimea. When the Ukrainian government fell, Russia did what it felt it needed to do to protect it's resources and bases.

Do you honestly believe the US would sit back and do nothing -- or allow some international force to come in and control its bases or resources. Absolutely not! We'd put boots on the ground to ensure we kept control.

That's what Russia is doing.

Our country made an agreement with Ukraine long ago.

By that agreement, we are obligated to defend Ukraine.

Why do we never enable countries to defend THEMSELVES?

Well we gave chemical weapons to Sadam, and we gave weapons and training to a bunch of Afghans to fight against the Russians.

How did that work out for us? Maybe we should stop helping.
