NYT buried this... Looking at Russian news headlines on Twitter, they do seem to have lost touch....

“sending an immediate fact finding mission to Ukraine and backed the idea of setting up of a contact group, possibly overseen by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, with the aim of ending the crisis through political dialogue.”
LOL!

Germanys Chancellor Angela Merkel is reported to have become really annoyed about Russian President Vladimir Putin and has questioned whether he was still in touch with reality/"In response, France announced their surrender.

Soviets vs Nazis... like the last time, the US will not be involved directly until it gets attacked. Perhaps this time “Japan” will be Iran?

They haven’t lost touch of anything. They don’t want NATO bases in Crimea. Frau Merkel is going to have to accept that and more.

The German mass circulation Bild newspaper wrote on Monday that during a telephone conversation she held with US President Barack Obama to discuss the growing crisis in Ukraine she complained that Mr Putin was living in another world. Putin's world might be looking out for Russia's interests and not worrying about what others think about it. Especially toothless tigers. -Tom

I think Putin is shaping reality while Obama is gutting the military.
I’m not proposing that the US get involved in the Crimea, I don’t really think we have a dog in that fight. But we should have a military such that we could if we chose to. The Chinese are watching, and so are our Asian allies. They are all making calculations based on what Putin does and what we do about it.
Sufficient weakness in Europe and the Middle East and we’ll find China’s Pacific border reaching out to include Guam.

OMG. Leftists at the top are now shocked and surprised that this has happened. Maybe by the time Russia and China gobble up half the planet they will get a clue?

Putin’s reality is his control over substantial flows of oil and gas, especially to Germany.

Weakness invites aggression. Always has, always will.

Well Angie, Putin will do what he wants, and suffer nothing from it. That sounds like he’s in touch with reality to me. You gonna call your IMF buddies on him, Angie? Putin doesn’t care.

He is the reality. Complaining about it is meaningless. Shes relegating herself to a sideshow.

Correct. Putin knows exactly what he is doing. He also knows that the West knows how to talk and that's about it. I'm sure he's already factored in boycotts, protests, sanctions, etc., and they'll just ride out the storm. In the end nothing will be done and they'll have secured the Crimea.
