If it's Paul vs. Cruz in '16, we're going to have a real choice for a change.

His father’s isolationism emerges. Rand Paul didn’t fall far from the tree.

Or maybe it’s his hair, which is always in serious need of an oil change.

Anyway, the choice between him & Ted Cruz just became MUCH easier to make.

Ted Cruz on Putin: "There Is Very Little That Should Be Intimidating About A Thug"

Rand..the Paul with teeth.

I don't think the paid commie operatives helping the "Rebels" need any help.

That said, I'm not much for tweaking, but I'm all in for twisting Putin's boobies if he doesn't behave.

Personally I’m a little uncomfortable with John Kerry making threatening statements about the Ukraine and Russia. Not sure why that is.

I think Ted and Rand are triangulating themselves on either side of the RINOs that will be running in the primary against them.

We will have to wait a few years to find out though.

"Some on our side are so stuck in the Cold War era that they want to tweak Russia all the time and I don't think that is a good idea,"

He's correct. We are not in a position of power here and will lose. This one is between the Ukraine, the EU, and Russia.

Personally the only outcomes I see are a divided Ukraine or a Ukraine continuing to live under Russian influence.

I’m not sure that Putin or any other despots have anything to fear from us right now. Nobody respects Obama or takes him seriously. We have lost all credibility.

America’s enemy is Washington DC, not Moscow.

If it's Paul vs Cruz in 2016.

How about if it's Cruz/Paul or Paul/Cruz? They don't agree on everything, but they can have respectful intelligent conversations.

And you know what? That duo wins. Because they're both interesting, they'll get people to listen to their energetic campaign message. hillary is obsolete with a whole lot of bad history to campaign against, and the dems have no one else emerging as a party leader.

I agree with Paul here.

It's easy for many of us to automatically slip into cold war mode and automatically oppose anything Russia is doing.

But people need to wake up to the reality of NOW, the now where the US is no longer a force for good in the world but instead is a force for evil that is pushing it's abortionist and sodomite agenda aggressively here and abroad.

I will always stand with those who stand up to evil regardless of where they are from.

I don’t think we should tweak Putin either,but at the same time we shouldn’t roll over and play dead.He should know that we will not allow the tanks to roll in like the Soviet’s did into Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

Here is a helpful little "how-to" video…

 → FSA fighter throws a grenade down a tank barrel

that Ukraine's insurrection leaders might want to study.


And Rand Paul can cram it up his a** sideways.

Well, I’ll say the. The only thing America could do with Russia at this point is get its ass roflstomped by Putin.

So go ahead and pick a fight Obama.

Show him how much of a man you are.

Lol...

He’s right-Obama is not Reagan, and our military is being cut to the bone-we are not in a position to police the world, especially when the person with his finger on the nuke button has been given the finger and handed his ass by Putin, and so is a laughingstock in the larger world-we’d be better off spending the outrage and energy voting out the wusses who got us into this predicament and got Obama elected-twice, starting with our own votes in November...
