I don’t think Ukraine is our battlefield, but the US budget folks and the US strategists have to start contemplating a Russian push to the West. If — and it’s just an IF — Putin tries to put the Soviet Empire back together (through plebiscites, diplomacy, invasion, or whatnot). At some point, Western Europe and perhaps the US will have to make a decision. And the point is: if we make no preparations at all, then we will have already made our decision, long before we understand the nature of the question. That is never smart.
White House sources report that upon hearing the news Obama released a very stern sounding, “Oh poo!” Biden and Kerry have been put on high alert.
Is Obama following these breaking news tweets or waiting for NSA news?
Meanwhile, Obama wants to know how his NCAA brackets are doing..after all, that is SO much more important
Two officers (Ukrainian?) injured.

Now Putin’s is in real trouble!
A new speech from Obama.
McCain said obama would not be bad for the country. I wish someone would remind him of his butt sucking statement.
Can’t tell for sure, but it looks like the Russians are handling this better than the BATF and the FBI would. They would just burn all the buildings down with everybody in them.
Putin will “keep on doin what he’s doin”, until the West-IMF banking and insurance “instruments”, QE fraud, and the Congressional Country Club is threatened. At which time a propaganda designed to whip up war and arms fever will commence, suckering many, including the ingnorant here on FR, into the war’s real purpose, cashing for as many govt. contractors and killing thousands of public schooled dumbed ritalined.
Why continue to occupy a base if you have no intentions of defending it? This Gandhi and MLK bs isn’t going to cut it with the Russians. Public opinion and optics are meaningless. No one is going to help them.
Obama and Reggie cannot be bothered. Michelle and fat mama are in China........time for some boy on boy love action.
The way Hamid Karzai is acting maybe we should just leave Afghanistan NOW and tell Putin if he wants somewhere to invade and show his true strength, he can finish what the Soviet Union couldn’t 30 years ago. Let’s make the Taliban and Al-Qaeda Russia’s problem. Use some Intelligence and Propaganda to get the ball rolling.
