THE WEST CAN STILL PLACE “PUTIN’S GAMBIT” IN CHECK  BY GRANTING UKRAINE STATUS AS A MEMBER OF NATO   2014 Russian Incursion un the Crimea It will be a strategy that NATO will deem as over-reaching, naïve and dangerous but will put Putin and Russia in check. NATO must expedite Ukraine's  application to join the western alliance  and put on a path to full membership. NATO could grant Ukraine as an affiliate member while approval is pending they offer military assistance as an affiliate member.

This President does not comprehend that  his   role  is not one written for  reality TV,  there are no re-takes and his words and actions cannot be snipped from the tape left to fall to the floor. When I wrote and posted the original piece on Monday afternoon, little did I know that the President Trump would emerge from a Trump Tower elevator and began a verbal holocaust upon the press and the American people.  When the President with a straight face stated that  "both sides"  were to blame.  He explained how he now strayed from his first two statements ("one beautiful") and "waited to learn all of the facts" before issuing such an important statement. This is his biggest lie to date. Tuesday's resulting rampage  i...
