WWIII is around the corner.

As bad as I hate to, I have to agree with you. :-(

Interesting...

Albanian right to independence in Kosovo trumped Serbia’s right to territorial sovereignty, but Ukranian desire for territorial sovereignty trumps Crimean desire for independence - a complete reversal - even though Russians make up 58% of Crimea.

Do we make up international law as we go along?

Do some laws apply for some but not for all?

yeah, which makes me wonder just what did Obummer mean by his overheard remark to Medved about being more flexible?!

On the clip and pictures below, one can see Russian troops on the move near the border with Ukraine . . .

Soon to be East Ukraine and West Ukraine.

Yeah, well, they’d better not try anything, because if they do, Barack Obama will express deep concern!

And here is the response, by America's decisive Commander in Chief:

Gee, he holds that tip like he has experience.

That’s like waving a red flag in front of a bull. It will have no practical effect and will only make the Crimeans even more determined to leave. Making a threat you can’t enforce is showing weakness. Does Kiev really think Moscow is going to dissolve its pet Parliament for them? Then its living in a dream world. Provoking the Bear is not going to stop it from taking what it wants.

Perhaps 0 will get a patriotic streak and return home to Kenya to protect their sexual degenerates.

If he didn’t have such an odd throw I’d suggest that he could play with only a hand wedge.
