Thank you.
There has been criticism of NATO for not engaging when the invasion of Crimea was imminent. We have learned that there had been quite an anti-NATO campaign going on for some time in Ukraine on the part of the Yanukovych government, and it was felt that it would cause more bloodshed to invite NATO at that time. In addition to NATO on the European continent, the EU that has its own stand-up force. I'm interested in your opinion on whether it would have been more appropriate to engage that institution or command, if any.
