Putin Urges Obama to move away from the bong...................
Krauthammer says Obama talking Foreign Policy sounds like a Miss America contestant talking about world peace.
or I’ll give many speeches !!!!
It is almost as if we are starting to live out for real the 1984 movie Red Dawn — The officers at our Ballistic Missile defense sites are being punished for cheating — Putin is acting aggressive, our borders are wide open and illegal immigration is on the rise and our president is powerless to stop any aggression — It is almost a prelude to “what’s next.” Okay, putting tin foil hat back on.

The Russians can use some comic relief at times, I’m sure.
NATO should send observers to the Russo-Ukraine border. Let the UN send a peacekeeping force. Otherwise, what damn good are they?
Sanctions are so 20th century. Russia is not some 3rd world satrapy to be threatened by sanctions. They have been to this rodeo before. What must be said to Russia (Putin) must be stern and made in private, but most importantly be believable. With this president believability is the hardest part.
“Urge” is too strong a word in the title. Perhaps “suggest” or “intimate” maybe.
Putin: “Or else what ???”
Just thinking out loud, but I suspect Putin might NOT invade Ukraine now, precisely so Bambi will think “peace through weakness” worked. When Putin wants a really big operation, Obama will play his weakness card and wake up with Russian bootprints on his face.
Putin knows what it is like for a once great nation to collapse from within; he probably both enjoys our plight and pities us.
Obama called Putin to say “Comrade, what do I do now”? Putin said “We pretend meeting, send that doofus with the powdered wig” and we talk. It will all be okay.
Obama, Lugar go to Soviet Union. Val Jarret of Iranian heritage. Obama pretends to put in Brotherhood in Egypt to please Saudis, Brotherhood gets ditched and Egypt sides up with Putin.
Libya, gets screwed up, Saudis and Al Qaeda and Brotherhood make Benghazi happen. Obama lies, but he knows he screwed up. Libya, a giant mess like the wild west.
Syria, supposed to kiss Saudis and pretend we are helping rebels backed by Saudis because they know Assad backed by Iran and Russia. Dope Cary makes deal to help Assad and Russia and Iran. The last three listed are winning that one.
Iran, Jon Cary the clown makes deal that allows Iran to keep developing nuclear weapons. Good deal. Mullahs very happy.
Ukraine, Obama sees to it elected leader ousted and replaced by a damn nazi. Putin takes Crimea and probably most of Ukraine as Obama yaks.
Vlad love this flexibility. He wins and we lose and US looks pathetic all around.
Saudis call in Obama and threaten him, who knows what that will result in...yet, but I am sure we will find out and it will be costly.
Great foreign policy. Putin could not have done better.
