Obama is ready to bring the wrath of hell down on Putin if he makes another step.

Putin may not survive what Obama would do next.

He might send Moochelle over there. That would make Putin wilt.

I was thinking he would sanction Russian porn.

That would cripple their economy and might even start a Russian revolution.

“Obama is ready to bring the wrath of hell down on Putin if he makes another step”

More likely, the imposter is going to have his goons storm the ranch of a patriotic white American and do as much damage as they know they can get away with.

He's going to sign Putin up for ObamaCare.

No, Hell no. WWII was the last war we won. Every service member since has been betrayed by people who were willing to give someone’s kid to fight in a battle where we had no final objective other than total victory.

F McCain. He should know better but he is a weasel and so he is eager to write checks his pussy ass cannot cover. And all of the rest. F them all.

You go to war, you go to win. You kill the enemy until they will surrender everything and promise to kill anyone that breaks the peace. Period.
