Ok, Putin was not motivated by Obama weakness. Putin was motivated by his boy toy lacky who he basically appointed to be president of Ukraine, got his butt kicked out of power.
At that point Russian had to seize control of Ukraine due its strategic importance with the gas pipelines and the Black Sea access to the Mediterean Sea.
Putin is motivated by the fact that without Ukraine’s oil pipelines to Europe, Russia’s largest source of cash dries up. He has no choice but to kick asses all over Ukraine, and he’s just getting started.
Even Obastard isn’t stupid enough to stand in his way, not that he wants to (which he doesn’t).
Ukraine was Occupied by Putin... now Putin is waging a counter to the counter occupation. Basically Sarah was being modest in her assessment, but truth is a grey terror occupation factor in favor of Putin.
