The Times has spoken. Nothing here to worry about.

I'm sure our community organizer and boy military genius is on it.

The Russian guy at the U.N. gave a clear signal when he referred to “The Republic of Crimea.”

Crimea will separate from Ukraine and end up part of the Russian Federation.

“Ain’t no situation so bad what it can’t be made worse by adding Obama. “

Don’t you just get the feeling that anytime Obama announces a visit or an initiative aimed at a particular country that that country’s leader just sorta rolls their eyes, slumps their shoulders, and, just sorta wanders off wondering what they’ve done to deserve this sh!t.

"What Is Russia’s Aim in Ukraine?"

To establish a position for conquering Poland and the Czech Republic again.

Putin’s mission in the Ukraine is the same as Stalin’s — reconquer it from the west. (unfortunately back in the 40s it was controlled by the Nazi’s)

Russia’s aim is to control the Black Sea. No more complicated than that.

This is MUCH WORSE than Kennedy and Khrushchev. Who here thinks we would have had a “Cuban Missile Crisis” had Nixon won (which he actually did) in 1960?

That could very well be all there is to it. But there’s obviously a lot of history here. And opportunity.

I believe a vote to again be part of Russia was already scheduled before the "coup" occurred. Crimea has a different status than the other districts.

IMO, Crimea should have never became part of Russia to start with.

SWAT punitive expedition. At some point, we’ll hear from the “department spokes-people” that they meant well but got the wrong house ... er ... country.

Americans have gotten really stupid and weak. Our power is residual and generational.
