Russia could take them pretty easy, and we could get them back, but it would be ugly. Fighting Russia would be very different from fighting Arabs. Bloody the Arab's nose and they turn tail and run. If Russia has demonstrated anything throughout time, it's that they have the stomach for a stand up fight. Then factor in they're a major nuclear power. Not pretty. Obama should think about how far he's pushing this.

The Ukraine was not a NATO nation, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are. Should be a whole different ballgame if Russia decides to invade.

Whether or not NATO has any wherewithal has yet to be determined.
