If anything is certain in this world, it's that Obama would renege on America's NATO commitments if this did occur.

What's even more worrisome is that our NATO allies are fully aware of this, too, making them much more vulnerable to Russian manipulation. They see what is happening in the Ukraine, as well as the lack of any response. They know their world isn't as safe as it used to be, and they might need to cozy up to the big bad bully on the block if NATO isn't going to protect them.

KGB Letter Details Kennedy Offer To USSR

http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=1039

This letter which details Senator Edward Kennedy’s offer to help the Soviet Union defeat Reagan’s efforts to build up the nuclear deterrent in Europe was unearthed by a Times of London reporter in the 1990s after the KGB files were opened.

It got little or no attention, however, until the publication of Paul Kengor’s book “The Crusader – Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism.”

But even then the actual text of the letter (which is in the book’s appendix pp 317-320) has gotten short shrift.

OBAMA’S MESSAGE TO PUTIN DURING HIS REELECTION CAMPAIGN.
Putin is taking advantage of Obama’s weakness.

Remember Obama’s message to Putin to wait after his reelection when he will be more pliable to Putin’s wishes.
Moscow troops could be in five NATO capitals in two days, boasts Putin taking for granted that Obama will not dare to confront him.

Shockwaves reverberated through Eastern Europe tonight after Vladimir Putin boasted he could invade five NATO capitals inside two days. This came amid new reports that almost 4,000 Russia troops are massing in Crimea close to Ukraine’s mainland. ‘If I wanted, Russian troops could not only be in Kiev in two days, but in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw or Bucharest, too,’ Putin was quoted as threatening, according to Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko. All are former USSR or Soviet-bloc cities and apart from Ukraine their countries are now NATO and EU members.
