The pipelines, this is about the pipelines, 36% of Germany's gas is from these pipelines 23% of Italy's, huge hard dollars to Putin. Yes the ports are an issue but he will not give up control of his cash cow.

I miss Has Blix, he could send a really scary note to Vlad to stop.

And he's out of here folks, and with no questions taken...

•OBAMA SAYS ‘DEEPLY CONCERNED’ BY RUSSIAN MILITARY MOVEMENTS
•OBAMA SAYS HE COMMENDS RESTRAINT OF UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT
•OBAMA SAYS BIDEN HAS SPOKEN WITH PRIME MINISTER OF UKRAINE
•OBAMA SAYS U.S. SUPPORTS UKRANIAN SOVERIGNTY

Meanwhile:

"In Crimea, Black Sea Fleet commander of Russian Federation Alexander Vitko announced the beginning of the war with Ukraine. Such information TSN confirmed MP from the "homeland", the former chairman of the Mejlis of Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Cemil"

I guess we are going to see how Obama and his players are going to handle the big boys.

********
Putin is already a dozen moves ahead of Obama and is about to call checkmate.

Thanks to Daniel Greenfield for the remarks below to explain where we are with Obozo as POTUS.

The Post-American order stands for nothing except its own dismantling. That is why Obama sets red lines that he won’t enforce and issues threats that he doesn’t mean.

The only thing less appealing than selfishness is the complete absence of self. The only thing less appealing than empire is an anti-imperialism that so thoroughly negates its own power that it has no influence and no reason to exist.

Post-American America exists to destroy itself. Until that changes, it has nothing to offer the world except membership in a suicide pact.

Thanks for the link.

I’m picturing Putin, wetting his pants because he’s watching this and laughing so damned hard!

2016 can’t come soon enough. I hope we can hold out that long.

Admin officials tell CNN's Barbara Starr this is an "uncontested arrival" not necessarily "an invasion" and that this distinction is "key."

“Horrible poker player. I could take him and I am the worst I know.”

BOL!

Whenever I see a liberal lying rat on Fox or our wussie Potus speaking/lying, I say, “God, I would love to play poker with them!”

My wife just laughs.

Obama has a pen and a phone. He’s going to call Putin. If Putin doesn’t answer he’ll write him a strongly worded letter.

It’s sad just how weak he has made this once powerful country. Now the world considers us paper tigers.

“He stands by the people of Ukraine, Europe, etc.”

I thought I’ve seen him stomping his left foot :)

I told my wife I wouldn’t be surprised if obama said he’s sending Clinton and Bush to talk to Putin.
