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.

You don’’t suppose this had anything to do with the long conversation he had with that Russian with the funny name a couple weeks ago, do you?

Yep, Ukraine will be the spark. Too late to get them into NATO, unfortunately.

It’s starting to look like 1938 all over again, all that’s missing is Anschluss with Belarus.

True, NATO will not accept the Ukraine at this stage. NATO is now run by very weak leaders and the weakest among them is our President Obama.

Obama is busy with important stuff:

And there is this burning.... unseen to most:

We should disarm some more to show our disappointment.

I am afraid you are right. Except, while we have our Chamberlain, where is our Churchill?

That is what is most depressing to me. Who is there today on a national level to explain that this will be just the first taste of the bitter cup of appeasement? Rush is saying it but he is not an elected leader. A bad moon is rising over this hallowed land.

"And our corrupt press will be silent."

They are not OUR press. They are allies to America's enemies .. and proud of it.

The Russian’s are going to take Tblisi & Obama isn’t going to do a thing. Bank on it.

B.S.!

If need be, the infomercial kid will state his deep concern for the Russian aggressions and if THAT doesn't work the infomercial kid will delegate Hitlery to state a firm "deeply saddened" to follow up.

That will show those pesky Russians!

We are paying and we will be paying a very heavy price for this man socialism, left wing liberalism, defeatism, and appeasement.

Wait a minute. Didn't Gov. Tim Kaine say Obama had solved this problem last August? Here's what he said back then: "It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in. And I’m very, very happy that the Senator’s request for a ceasefire has been complied with by President Medvedev."

You're right. Thank goodness. I'm sure BO will straighten them out again right away with another polite request. Thank God for nuance and elegance.
