Tornado Alley (PROG)

Sorry, but I don't see the analogy here.

Georgia and Ukraine have opted for a democratic govt through hard fought elections ( including poisoning of one of the candidates )

They want to establish ties with other Western nations through admittal to NATO

Russias actions make it clear they have designs to return to the imperialistic ways.

The US is working towards increased trade with Chile and others

If you're a Latin American country ( except the one led by a socialist dictator ) who would you welcome in to your country

Their muscle was fed by the blip of petrodollars- the flow of which has slowed. They have economic problems of their own and can't come close to matching us in military might. Any attempt to do so would be met with results similar to the last time they tried.

The huge difference is that the OrangeRose revolutions were not imposed on Ukraine and Georgia- they were a result of Russian tyranny and the superiority of democratic government
