In the Ukraine there is an ever present threat of being taken over by Russia. Russia is trying to overtake the Ukraine and right now there is controversy over what other countries should do to help stop this.
In the article, which is from the Washington Post, talked about different ways that this controversy could be resolved in a peaceful way. These suggestions spanned from sending troops and weapons to the Ukraine to help it defend itself to allowing Russia to take over part of the Ukraine. Many of the ideas on how to settle it where viable ideas that with some negotiation could end up resolving this issue.
If the Monroe Document was still in place this issue would likely be ignored by the United States. This is because the Monroe Document said that as long as the country wasn't invading the west and wasn't affecting them directly the issue would be ignored. But because this issue does involve one country ruling another country there is a chance that while this document was in place the United States may of gotten involved.
Overall there is a good chance this issue would of been ignored had this occurred during the Monroe document but if it was to escalate past this state the States may of gotten involved.
