With the current events; I wonder if Germany now sees the foolishness in their decision to shut down their nuclear power plants ?
They planned on cheap energy including Russian supplies; and their green nonsense.

Yes he has - and with the pathetic simulacrum now occupying the WH, he will win that war before Easter.

Of course, the MSM is devoting all of its coverage to Flight 370 - how convenient! We are well on our way to being undone by Obama - I only hope that the damage can be undone!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Telepathic Intruder]

Well, it’s a good thing we have such a strong president of our own in these challenging times. If push comes to shove, he’s ready to do whatever is necessary to appologize for American imperialism.

You have to understand three things about Putin and the Former USSR:

1. The Collapse of the USSR was staged, or at least planned
2. The Russians always had a contingency plan for what is happening now in Ukraine, if they lost control of key posts in the government.
3. Russia had always planned on putting back together the USSR at a later date of their choosing. The events in Ukraine this time were such that violent force is required to bring it back into the fold of the USSR, similar to the Hungarian revolt of 1956.

Reasons that this is true:
1. All the communist parties are backing Russia on this.
2. International ANSWER and other antiwar groups are backing Russia
3. Obama’s feckless, inept, and irresponsible response to this crisis borders on treason.
4. Russia’s management of their allies, telling them to keep their distance until the time is right (Eg China and Belarus).

Lucky for us we have a CIC who is a Nobel Peace Prize winner who looks like an ass when he leads from behind.

Thanks. Saw evidence of this effort on Twitter, but it was unclear how organized.

This clarifies it.

Considering it was the neo-Nazis that took down the former government along with some IMF thugs supported by Obama, I question the purpose of this article by Forbes. The IMF wanted the Ukrainian banks, and they started this mess, not Putin. And they picked the right time, right when Putin’s hands were tied up with the Olympics and he couldn’t make a move to stop them.

"The Spetsnaz forces’ orders include the sowing of civil unrest throughout Ukraine via strikes, demonstrations, staged incidents, and street battles."

Well, that sounds exactly like the tactics employed last month by our client revolutionaries who toppled the previous Kiev regime. Of course, it's not wrong when we do it.

" Ukrainian TV and radio must immediately broadcast all their news in Russian or in English because many Ukrainian citizens and Russians do not understand Ukrainian. "

HUH?!

Ukrainians in Ukraine do not understand Ukrainian?? What kind of BS is this?

Ukrainians in Ukraine have to know russian, but russians in Ukraine do not have to know Ukrainian?

So why was there such an uproar about Ukrainians wanting their laws written in Ukrainian? obviously it was just an excuse for russians to destroy Ukraine.

I hear that a lot of folks are preparing for Jesus to come over all this mess that Obbabble Lips is putting the U.S. in by his foolish talking. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I don’t doubt Moscow has instigated a covert war in Ukraine. It carries fewer costs for the Kremlin than an outright invasion. And Vladimir Putin as a judo champion, understands the best way to defeat an opponent is to turn his strength against himself.

That is what makes him such a dangerous adversary: he has successfully married 19th Century Great Power goals with 21st Century stealth warfare. And we’re not even playing in his league. He is always ahead of the West which is belatedly playing catch-up in a futile bid to contain him.

[TADSLOS]

The Real Red Dawn.

[FreeReign]

Andrei Illarionov, formerly Vladimir Putin’s top economic advisor (and personal envoy to the G8) , has warned in an interview with Ukrainian television that Putin has already declared war on Kiev. Putin’s war is being conducted by Russian Spetsnaz (special operations) forces and KGB (now called FSB) agents and is aimed at toppling the pro-Western government in Kiev. The Spetsnaz forces’ orders include the sowing of civil unrest throughout Ukraine via strikes, demonstrations, staged incidents, and street battles. Putin’s subversive forces will also gin up neo-Nazi incidents with Nazi regalia and Swastikas on full display. Their orders include as well the deliberate killing of Russian soldiers and of ethnic Russian civilians to prove the hatred and extremism of radical Ukrainian nationalists.

And folks will believe it.

I wish Ukrainians the best.

[TADSLOS]

War Never Changes Ping.

[FreeReign]

Stalin's forced Famine. 7 million Ukrainians starved to death.

Hitler's Generalplan Ost. 5 million ethnic Ulkrainians and 1 million Jews exterminated in Ukraine.

The Soviet Union and communism.

Then 22 years of indendence.

Now Putin "Declares War".

With Crimea "gone", Ukraine is about 80% ethnic Ukrainian.

I wish them the best.

[JimSEA]

Ultranationalism + Socialism = Fascism

What is more descriptive of Putin’s government than that? He even has his brown shirts (Night Wolves Bikers). Yet he wants to frighten the west by pointing out neo-Nazis who, in fact, exist in the Ukraine but don’t control the government. Putin’s play book isn’t original but it does seem to be working in the absence of any western leadership worth the name.

We’ve got a president who can’t be bothered to attend his own national security council meetings let alone provide any leadership.

[mosesdapoet]

While in the US most see the expansion of Russia is based on its expansion of its energy products. Curiously the other half of reporting of circumstances within Ukrainia itself has been agenda driven even by so called western european sources which are siding with Russian claims.

One “authority” discussing an article in the UK Telegraph interviewed by John Batchelor on his nationwide syndicated show heard 3/15 at10 pm on Detroit’s WJR am 760. Went as far as to blame Catholics for the civil unrest. Was dismissive of the corruption occuring by not even mentioning it, or the Unkrainian Duma maitaining its constitutional authority to remove its PM. Accepting the invasion as a deja vu fait accompli. Not certain if this person was the one who presented the article and from the Telegraph or from the NY Times. But this is the b/s we are getting.

[Organic Panic]

Damnit Putin. Don’t you know the weather is getting nice. Obama has to work on his golf game and it is just bad optics with you invading foreign countries. Obama has to pick his march madness brackets too. So please, show some courtesey.
