Not to worry, Putin will have defenders here. He’s God’s gift to the human race right now, according to them.

[DoughtyOne]

Aaaahhhh, yes. There has been a bunch of Putin groupies here that thought exactly that. Either that or they actually hope he does take Europe. Europe deserves it just like the Ukraine did don’t you know.

To the OP: No kidding. Only a Putinist didn’t see this next step coming.

We have nothing to fear as long as we don’t interfere with messiah Putin and his kingdom work.

Sometimes it’s easier to keep going to school than to actually face reality you need to pay that back... I hear ya!

If I were a citizen of the Baltic’s I would be scared to death of America’s word on ANYTHING and would be applying for a visa to Austrailia where there is still a modicum of common sense in government.

Obama, “After the election I’ll have more flexibility...”

Translation to Putin:

Obama, “After the election you can nuke the West, and I won’t give a damn.”

It has nothing to do with politics or presidents. When it comes to commies or fascists threatening to launch, our generals run the show. If Russia launches, she’ll be invaded and occupied post haste.

Last year a young couple bought the house 2 doors down
in my international cul-de-sac.
They came here from Bosnia.
He is a detective with the transit agency.
She is an RN at the hospital.
I was a bit leary at first, and held back.
I waited ‘til Christmas to check them out.
They put up a Christmas tree.
He likes budweiser and rock-and-roll.
Nicer people than a lot of the native borns that I know.

None of this would be going on if there was someone in the Administration with a pair. Putin knows Hussein doesn’t have any.

This is part of Bathhouse Barry’s flexibility he was bragging about.

[caww]

According ‘to notes’ made by an American at a meeting between Russian generals and US officials????

This is suppose to be a declaration of war from Putin???? I don’t think so....

Further ‘who’ is he sharing his notes?

Seems to me more stirring of the pot...

[Bogey78O]

Folks were saying this a year ago that he’d be doing it soon. I know I was.

According to Martin Hellman, writing in Newsweek, an emeritus professor at Stanford and adjunct fellow at the Federation of American Scientists who specialises in nuclear risk, "The Russian strategy is to scare the West by portraying Putin as unpredictable. If you’ve got a madman in power, a country’s nuclear weapons take on a completely new dimension....................Indeed, in the past couple of years, Putin has gone out of his way to keep Russia’s arsenal in the forefront of the public consciousness. ...... the West hasn’t properly caught on to Putin’s Armageddon game."

[GeronL]

There is zero chance of NATO attacking Russia and Tsar Putin knows it.

[GeronL]

It didn’t stop in Georgia or Transnistria (sic). I don’t think Putin and the oligarchs would ever stop trying to acquire more territory

[free_life]

Poland is preparing as are Norway and Finland. Germany better get it head outa it’s you know what soon.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Meanwhile the idiots running our country are begging Iran for a deal on nukes.
