Our response will be something about gays.

And that’s it.

Gas prices are up here 20 - 30 cents just recently; think they have already went up because of this mess.

Russia’s border guards said today that some 675,000 Ukrainians

had left for Russia in January and February this year.

Excellent observation. Anyone else remember too, that Syria was the proposed route for the new Gulf-sourced NG pipeline to Western Europe?. Putey played hard to keep that under his thumb too. This man knows his priorities.

See? That's just the kind of in-depth analysis that's lacking in our Men Seeking Men media.

Our media would just assume that people know you dig trenches on land and not in water.

I just wish our politicians could figure that out.

The Russians digging a trench across the isthmus to the Crimea?

THAT’S how you draw a “line in the sand!”

The whole thing is Czechoslovakia 1938 all over again.


That wasn’t an invasion. It was an uncontested arrival of German troops.

What will be America’s response to this? A stern lecture. Oh, that will set those Russians straight. Putin is going all the way to the bank on this one. He knows there are no powerful world leaders who are going to stop him and a condemnation from the UN will just be flicked away like a harmless bug.


So what do you suggest our response be? Go to war with Russia?

Pictured below is our glorious leader watching the activities in Crimea and Vlad's response to our worthless leader.

If this is true, and it probably is. Our wonderful NSA and CIA really dropped the intel ball on this. Of course they were monitoring conservative Americans and our allies.

It's too late. Obama has destroyed this nation's credibility. That's the whole point.

Lol! Good one! My Russian friend says Putin’s popularity is soaring in Russia after he got parliament’s permission to use force to protect Russians from violence in Ukraine. Also, there is no money to pay Ukr pensions so support for protestors will crumble.

The Russkies have maintained their underground communist structures in Ukraine. I support them in their endeavor to root them out, one dirty former KGB or snitch at a time.
