When Hitler absorbed the Sudetenland, at least he said (lies) he had no more territorial ambitions. Putin won't even say that. So long as Obama is Commander in Chief, the pickings will be easy for Russia. No country in eastern Europe is safe and they know it. Look at the calendar, its 2014. Exactly 100 years ago, the world slid into disaster in Europe and we are repeating that right in front of our eyes again. Barack Obama is the only person who can stop it and he is more interested in basketball brackets and golf than saving us from this looming catastrophe.

The Baltics - and Poland - had better tighten up their borders and get their respective militaries ready.

Well with that sort of Putin logic there are Russians living all over the world that he might have concerns for giving his military the right to invade a sovereign country - but none in Russia proper considering the way he has his goons treat the citizenry.

arguing it has the right to protect Russian-speakers outside its borders

Well there's an "imaginary" right, unknown in any system of international law.

Putin is allowed to say or do any crazy thing that pops into his head, and everyone is afraid to gainsay him.

He is getting drunk with power.

I have friends in Estonia ... they are frightened.

How much of this is groundwork for further re-building of the Russian Empire and how much is saber-rattling so that the the cowardly weaklings in the EU (and US) can “negotiate” an agreement that Russia won’t invade those places while they ignore the Crimea annexation?

Basically, it would allow the western “leaders” the ability to save some face so that they can remain in positions of power for Putin to abuse later. I imagine the last thing he wants would be for these folks to be replaced with effective opposition.

Coming soon to a peace conference:

The only thing we are missing is Putin saying: "This is absolutely my last territorial demand." But his policy of uniting all ethnic Russians under one country is no different than the policy Hitler pursued in Central Europe from 1936-1939.

The parallels are chilling, but there are differences. One is that I'm not sure that Putin is after world domination and wants to stuff Jews into ovens. But I do believe he will continue until he is checked by someone with a bigger stick. The other scary thing is that we don't have that bigger stick; our dear leader is intent on throwing away all his sticks.

When Jimmy Carter passes on to eternity, he'll meet Neville Chamberlain, and they'll shake hands and give thanks that Barack Hussein 0bama made their posterity look a whole lot better by comparison.

"he (0'ButtCrack) is more interested in basketball brackets

(i presume) is more weed, more coke and his gay posse in his bed,
while (a free week w/o) his "beard" wife/presumed kids, are in China.

It will go down in history, if there is any history, that Putin is Hitler lookalike. Putin will be the next worst leader in the World history. King Obama is Americas sadist piece of crap and will be known as Americas garbage dump with all his communists, the MSM and its Hollywood insane.

And while this is happening the Nazi’s in Syria are killing and then hanging people in warehouses...

[Iscool]

When Obama told Putin that the U.S. won’t intervene militarily that gave Putin the green light to help himself to whatever he wants...

I’d say countries are being divied up for their final resting place in the New World Order...
