RUSSIA MOVES TROOPS CLOSER TO GEORGIA'S CAPITAL
Kyiv Post ^ | April 21, 2009 | AP Staff

Posted on 04/21/2009 1:24:09 PM PDT by mick

Russia has stationed its forces just 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the Georgian capital, in violation of the EU-brokered cease-fire that ended last year's brief war. And in recent weeks, it has sent even more troops and armored vehicles to within striking distance of the city ahead of street protests against Georgia's president.

Who is there today on a national level to explain that this will be just the first taste of the bitter cup of appeasement?

Perhaps somewhere in Eastern Europe, where they most recently familiar with appeasement, another courageous soul will step up and lead.

I think of Pope John Paul II, who came from Poland; not saying that it will be a religious leader, but it is the source of resistance.

2 Years and every free country in Europe and Asia will be under communist control. That is what Obama’s tour was for.

South America will also be under communist control. That is what Obama’s tour was for.

The USA will be under communist control. That is what the election was for.

I sure do not think Poland or the Baltic states can count on a single NATO country. Norway or Germany or France stepping up? I don’t see it, and even if they did want to, their military’s are so weak in manpower and equipment they would be of little assistance, which will cause them to sit it out once Russia threatens them.

And zero? He’d sell them all out, being the marxist he is.

Pakistan and its nukes will be in the hands of the Taliban by the end of the year.

Chavez, Ortega, Morales and Castro will continue to spread communism in Central and South America.

North Korea is gearing up to walk into South Korea, and the muzzies are set to put a nuclear knife up against the neck of Israel, who cannot count on its former US ally

Sure sounds like our hand is being strengthened all right.

This clown can’t possibly be this stupid, he is doing this on purpose, sending a signal loud and clear that it is open season on American interests worldwide.

Iran and Israel, Pakistan and India, China and Taiwan, Russia and Eastern Europe.

America has been effectively neutralized. There’s nothing to stop all hell from breaking loose now.

our strong leader will call for restraint by the Georgians like last time and do not think it will come right away as last time he took 5 days to say anything

Nope...Obama is not incompetent, or a naif. He knows exactly what he is doing and he is going about it very quickly, and tragically, very efficiently.

Putin looked into Obama's eyes and saw the greatest coup and mole in history...amd now he is going to take advantage of the situation.

Ironically, the leader of France (yes, France!) is probably the Westerner with the most backbone. The question is...is Sarkozy ready to step up and assume the role of Churchill?
