WHITE HOUSE TO PUTIN: Don't 'Even Think About Messing Around' With The Baltics
Yahoo ^ | 8/29/14 | Brett LoGiurato

President Barack Obama's message to Russian President Vladimir Putin when traveling to Europe next week is to not "even think about messing around" with the Baltic states, the White House said Friday.

Obama is traveling to Europe next week for a meeting in Wales with other NATO leaders. He'll also make a stop in Estonia, where he will meet with the leaders of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in an attempt to reassure allies amid burgeoning Russian aggression in Ukraine.

"The two stops are essentially part of the same effort to send a message to the Russians that their behavior is unacceptable," Charles Kupchan, the White House's senior director for European affairs, said in a conference call with reporters Friday afternoon.

"You have in Estonia a large Russian population, and therefore part of the message that the President will be sending is, we stand with you. Article 5 constitutes an ironclad guarantee of your security. Russia, don’t even think about messing around in Estonia or in any of the Baltic areas in the same way that you have been messing around in Ukraine."

Gosh, if they send in the tanks while he’s visiting, he might have to give a real stern speech, or maybe even put out a new hashtag: #youresomean

Putin to obama: “Got your panties all in knots barry babie? Go run your hand up and down a golf club and do a little dreaming.”

But why should the U.S. stand in the way of Russians fighting fascists, and liberating their own people?

If the McCainiacs and Obamabots don't go to the Baltics openly agitating for a coup and declaring who will be the leaders of the puppet regime, I doubt big, bad, scary Putin will object.

The neocons owe their success to Leos Strauss and P.T. Barnum.
