Should we? My personal opinion is that we shouldn't. I would be willing to bet that this is the majority opinion on the matter, given how much our previous worldwide interferences have strained the economy.

Will we? Not likely in my opinion. The 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances agreement states that the US should provide "security assurances" to Ukraine, but nothing is really said about military intervention. On top of that, I think Crimea is technically it's own state, rather than being part of Ukraine, so I don't think that political agreement even applies.

Agreed. America has been policing the world for a while, and all other countries, especially European ones, have given back was shit. Even when they needed help in the Balkans, they had restricted American military to basically pussyfoot around. I feel like Europe honestly needs to deal with this themselves if this becomes more serious than it already is.

How about another hot topic: In case of another school shooting, should school staff be armed at all times[ pistols etc.]?

This is actually a controversial idea, and the best answer to it is no. Teachers shouldn't be armed, because there have been previous shootings where a teacher was the killer. I honestly believe a better idea is to have a police officer because, while I can't say they will never do something wrong, they are much more reliable than teachers.
And besides, you never know if a student might suddenly disarm a teacher or steal their gun if they place it somewhere like in their desk.
