The Ukraine crisis of 2014 is beginning to look like the July crisis of 1914, and the next week or so should reveal whether or not a war in central Europe breaks out. If one does, can it be contained to the area of the former Soviet Union, and even if so, will the certain chaos and economic upheaval, and perhaps substantial refugee crisis for Poland, and maybe even Germany led to such a sense of unease in the US that the "war" party here is instantly transformed from the Keystone Cop loose cannons of the George W. Bush era back into the steely eyed Reagan era defenders of hearth and home? And who would benefit politically should that happen? Probably not Rand Paul.
