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.

Weakness invites aggression. Always has, always will.

We will soon reap what we have sown for electing the Kenyan communist.

Right! Be prepared, in case someone wants "to bring it" to America.

Hang loose now re: Crimea.

But, just for an example, what if Putin decided to annex Alaska. (Remember, this is just an example - for sake of argument). What could we do? Just sit here and take it? With gutted military, what else could we do?

Obama is rendering US toothless, in gutting the military and dispiriting citizens with IRS, NSA, ObamaCare, high unemployment, etc.

And, the rest of the world sees this and calculates...where does US stand in other countries WarGames?
