yes, our southern border is indeed as open as a friendly neighbor’s back door! But we will not see military stationed along that perimeter ever. We might get an enhanced DHS or Obummer’s national civilian force (amped up with former military equipment and vehicles) patrolling it...but I highly doubt it.
I bet some of the poking of the Russian bear was at the instigation of both Russian and American intel agents who were trying to push the internal struggles to the forefront. Only our weak president underestimated the very sly Russian president. After all, we didn’t really do anything for Georgia, and Putin knows it. This is a poker game that he is winning at the moment...
Oh, so you are not an American. That’s cool. But I guess I touched a nerve exposing you, not that your poor syntax and grammar doesn’t show you’re not a native English speaker. That’s cool too. And I’m sure with your cheer leading for Putin and your calloused remarks about the Ukrainians you’re just a disinterested good Samaritan trying to save the world from nuclear war. Keep up the good work, comrade.
Well Sai.
Well said.

Except that it isn’t. Lock up Kerry on his yacht and send Obama on an extended vacation to Hawaii. This crazy brawling escalation must be stopped already. They are not acting like statemen , but as petulant teenagers...
Elhombre has a specialty; I’ve run into it before.
Topic doesn’t even matter really.
Isn’t she a hoot. Where’d they find her to do their propaganda work, or him for that matter. “Comrade Marguerite, we have great mission for earnest former soviet communist. You must go on US American type message board, comrade. Teach foolish American people to love President for Life Putin. Use your special English learned in watching America cinema. That is all, comrade.”
Thanks, LJ.
The same characters repeat history, even in U.S. politics. “Low information” political sentiments here were similar immediately before each of the first world wars and the First Cold War. International bullies led by tyrants do what they do again and again. Here we go again—Cold War II (the real CWII) and maybe much worse to follow.
Here’s some info with a map and a table for those interested in learning.

I think the situation is escalating faster than any of us other than Putin can imagine!
Unfortunately unless we have our own revolution here, we are stuck with Obummer until the next election (if we actually have one—could imagine a false flag that causes him to start martial law and cancel elections). As for Kerry, yep, he does us no favors...nor did Hilarious Clinton...and I thought Great Britain’s Chamberlain was a lily. Where have all the strong leaders gone that knew right from wrong, dared to speak up and stand for the truth? Instead we have a president trying to sell to the millenials a bad healthcare law, a boob of a VP who constantly puts his feet in his mouth, mr milk toast Harry Reid, wide eyed and crazy Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the nuts lying, lying, lying and spending, spending, spending.
Are we screwed or what???!!!
The U.S. will soon say that Kosovo independence must be overturned?
Why?
Because when Albanians desired independence, the West said that Albanain desire for independence trumped Serbia’s right to territorial sovereignty. Now that Crimeans desire independence (and 58% of Crimeans are Russian) surely the West will say that Crimean desire (or Eastern Ukranian desire for independence for Western Ukraine) will trump Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty. Surely...

I recall seeing the Kosovars in Albania where they’d fled. I recall the ethnic cleansing of Milosevic and the foolish war he took his nation into. It was their third war. First he fought the Slovenians and lost. Then, he lost against the Croats. Then, he went to war with the Kosovars in Kosova to protect the Serbs. Of course, they managed to push the unarmed Kosovars out. As the Serbs took the towns, they blew up the houses by turning on the gas ovens and then after enough gas had escaped they’d throw grenades into the homes and the house would blow up and the roof would come off. So yes, I can see why you’d be sarcastic. But what I cannot see is that any Russians in Crimea or in Ukraine have been forced out of their country and their homes in Ukraine. But an exact or even close comparison doesn’t matter, does it?
Ukraine is a deadbeat country that can’t pay its gas bills even at 50 % discount. Not a country to go to war over.
Logically fallacious Emotional Appeal from you.
NATO violated the 1973 War Powers act, and NATO’s “defensive” charter, even though Serbia was not a threat to NATO member nations.
If the U.S. doesn’t say “return Kosovo to Serbia,” then we will be called hypocrites. If we don’t stand up to Putin we will be seen as weak.
Half?
In for a lamb, in for a sheep. Who's going to tell him 'no'?
Slick.
While developing a tyranny here at home?
So how's the weather in Moscow, comrade?
