What war?
I wonder what other former eastern-bloc countries that Putin might be desiring a piece of???
Meanwhile, Obama and Reggie are cuddling at a dance recital.
Isn’t Crimera in east Ukraine?
Eastern Ukraine is already on Putin’s side... no need for war other than to tell western Ukraine to buzz off and go to EU on their own.
exactly....
Where are the human shields?
I don’t understand why anyone is surprised. If I were Putin, I’d do the same thing: send in military to provide security to national assets that are protected by treaty amid unrest and tensions along the border. I wish my gd government did the same, but I digress. And as mentioned before, that’s their warm water port and lifeline. It’s a no-brainer. Now is the time to stop hyperventilating over every development, and watch the major chess pieces.
When are liberals going to step-aside and let a man or an iron lady like Margaret Thatcher run this country? Time to step off, you dope smoking liberals! We need a man with a pair or leader who does not have a pair but acts like she does. If we could reincarnate Reagan or Thatcher right now, we would have most of these problems solved in short order.
This reminds me of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. How was that finally resolved?
The flower of Russian youth is buried in Crimea and Ukraine. The Russians sacrificed enormously to defeat the Germans. It was not wise to dance on their graves. Russian nationalists were always aghast that Crimea was not formally a part of Russia. Russia will incorporate Crimea into Russia the way the Chinese incorporated Tibet. The West cannot stop them. However if Putin overplays his hand and seizes large amounts of Eastern Ukraine, it would badly frighten the Germans and the economic consequences would be punishing.
I glanced at the headlines and sub-headlines on the MSNBC banner web page and my local newspaper web page , and I saw no protest of Putin’s actions by the UN, European leaders, or “world opinion.” Obama’s tepid warning was about it. Can you imagine the world outcry if the US had invaded northern Mexico to quash uprisings caused by drug overlords or some such thing?
This article is an attempt by the New Republic to create a “we can’t stop this” meme as a cover for Obama’s incompetence. All the rest is window dressing.
As was reported in the Ukrainian media, the clown who hoisted a Russian flag in Kharkiv is a Russian from Moscow. http://m.vk.com/venoru
I's almost, but not quite, the opposite of the protests in Kyiv.
In Crimea, it's even more ridiculous. At the beginning if the week, leader of Crimea, Mogilev, was telling that it's all mostly quiet, no discussions of separating. Next, a group of Russian soldiers storms the parliament and government buildings, new Crimean leader is selected, practically a nobody with a criminal past and a 5% share in the Crimean parliament.
Because with "The Won" in the WH, the whole world would love us and respect us and be nice to us and be nice to each other and the White Christians would be eradicated and the world would be a really really nice place so "The Won" could sit on his golden and bejeweled throne and wield his vibrating scepter forever after?
Good analysis of what makes Putin and Russia tick. What the motivations are
