“I think Russia is a bad loser. They lost and they did by 100 votes.”

Are the French doing a victory lap over this meaningless vote? The 100 countries that voted with the West accounted for less than 30% of the global population. Note that many of these were puppet states of the European Union obliged by treaty to vote the same way. The 93 countries that refused to support the West by either not showing up, abstaining, or outright voting for Russia represent over 70% of the people of the world.

This isn’t a victory. This is a rather meaningless failure vote, and the inability to get either India or Brazil to vote against Russia is an embarrassment for the Obama’s “stellar” UN squad.

Sounds like Putin is using the same tactics that Obama has been using against conservatives and patriots.

Remember the threats over Sequestration?
Remember Dopey Obie shutting down the parks and monuments?

The big difference between Obama and Putin is that Putin isn’t afraid to face down his equals.

Obama uses his Police State to push WWII vets, cancer victims, and other citizens around, but folds like a $2 chair when challenged by foreign leaders.

Israel and Iran didn’t support, strangely. Perhaps Netanyahu decided to park a turd on Kerry’s desk, and deservedly so.

And look at this

Looks like Obama just lost a host of countries who would have voted us under normal circumstances, all thanks to the homo lobby.

"In the end, the Ukrainian resolution declaring Crimea's vote on March 16 in favor of seceding from Ukraine as having "no validity" passed with 100 votes in favor, 11 against and 58 abstentions. Another 24 U.N. member states did not cast votes."

That's an interesting vote tally. Most of the abstentions probably lacked any interest in the matter. Some probably had other, tough, third world chores to catch up on.

A piece of paper can’t stop a tank.

This is the “Putin Way”, much like “The Chicago Way”/ “New York Way” (make them an offer they can’t refuse).

That would be “Putin the Blitzer”, “Emanuel the Ballerina” and “DeBlasio the Red”.

Let’s throw in Crazy Eddy Schulz and make it a “foursome”.
