Russia invaded the Crimea because she can.

Crimean War II?

Monckton is a viscount. British nobility (in ascending order): baron, viscount, earl, marquess, duke.

Pretty tough, but I can't criticize his reasoning.

By the way, Socialists and Communists have always advocated enormously expensive social-welfare schemes like British National Health in 1961-2, precisely to cripple their host nations' ability to defend themselves at moments like the one we are seeing right now.

Crimea and the Ukraine and the Russian Empire and the advance of totalitarianism everywhere are precisely the reasons -- the drivers -- for socialized medicine and social welfare in the West.

Because, you see, only in totalitarian societies, can some people make other people eat dirt, to the satisfaction of some people, who must have their props and their chops at the expense of others.

Quisling egos, in other words.

Putin SEES an opportunity - this is far from over. He will not stop until he is stopped - I’ve seen this movie before.

A once great nation, destroyed by handouts and giveaways.

As a nation we have turned our back on God.

You are right, we have.

But, sometimes those of faith fight back the way Christ taught us to.

Through His Word.

It’s handled by the county sherrif and PA is a “shall issue” state so if your are legally qualified they have to issue you one.

To speak of “The pantomime of an unconstitutional referendum in the Crimea will proceed” which has occurred in the course of response to what? Oh, yes, a _constitutional_ overthrow of the Ukraine government?

The crime is that whoever dreamed up the scheme of promoting unrest with a goal of ensconcing the EU and NATO in a country having a long border with Russia and containing one of Russia’s key accesses to warm water is undoubtedly still collecting a paycheck.

Perhaps a new book titled “White Country Bleed Alot” will be penned...
