Sec of State Kerry is going on the major networks today EXCEPT (wait for it) Fox News.

[rodguy911]

HOpefully, when we get the senate we can squeeze through the pipeline as well.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

HA!

Wallace just said they had invited John Effing Kerry (who served in Vietnam) and who was sent out to all the other Sunday talk shows, but he declined to appear on FOX.

[Gritty]

About the only people who pay any attention to Obama’s red lines are Republican “leaders”.

[Paine in the Neck]

Jerry Brown? Why are they having that loon on?

Campaign donation. He just announced he's running again.

[rodguy911]

Workin’ and lurkin’ today catch you guys later.

SoS LongFace:
brazen act of aggression, in violation of a bunch of previous accords. 19th Century act in the 20ieth Century.

We don't want a ‘redux’. Russia could work with us.

Russia has chosen this aggressive act. They are inviting possibly very serious repercussions, such as sanctions.

All options are on the table.

[We have a red pen and we will draw a red line if Russia keeps this crap up!]

Steffie: But, the invasion has already happened, hasn't it?

[SoS is still operating on a previous page.]

SoS: this is a time for diplomacy! [SoS Chamberlain speaks.]

[Paine in the Neck]

Obama spent “a tense 90 minutes on the phone with Putin” yesterday.

How much do you want to bet he spent that whole time with his finger holding down the receiver?

[rodguy911]

There is a great video on American Thinker about the war in crimea/Ukraine and the similarites between that and the uprising in Iran are somewhat striking as well.
I’m blocked fromthe comment section of AM Thinker since I changed computers but it’s there.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Issa: Lerner to testify Wednesday per FNS.

[TomGuy]

HOpefully, when we get the senate we can squeeze through the pipeline as well.

If the Dems to lose the Senate and the Pubbies retain the House, look for the lame-duck Congress to push through a massive number of Dem legislation before the new Congress is seated. That could include killing the pipeline and other disastrous legislation.

[rodguy911]

Should be interesting Rock.Especialy since the tea party has now been given tax free status. It will all depend on what the meaning of is, is. She may get immunity. If not look for more nada.

[Morgan in Denver]

The only people who pay attention to Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam, are other like minded progressives. The Swift Boaters told the truth.

I’m sure Putin will take Kerry and 0bama to the woodshed over this. Russia cannot have allies breaking ranks.

[Morgan in Denver]

Are you implying John McCain was not our best candidate?

Heaven forbid....... < /s >

[Alas Babylon!]

Series of events so far:

Vlad, PLEASE do not invade the Ukraine!

Umm... Nyet!

I'm gonna cry!

(Pyut: Oh, Geesh...) Hugs?
Barry: Sniff, sniff...
Pyut: I'm still going in!

MEANWHILE...

(Cackle, cackle, cackle!) Hey Barry, too bad you don't have one of THESE!

Hillary? Hillary? Can I get me one of them buttons here?

Oh John F'n, what difference does it make?

Russian response:

Hey Russians, see the size of my mighty military?

Hmmmm... Must get notes to party leader! "Dear leader, about that thorn in our side called Taiwan...."

[Morgan in Denver]

If voters won’t elect Kerry as president, by God he will screw up the State Department.

I wonder if Kerry will now throw his Russian medals over the White House fence?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

the tea party has now been given tax free status.

The TEApartiers need to start churches. All denominations, no money. There are all kinds of vacant churches that could be rented and the Gospel and Constitutional conservativism should be blasted from those pulpits.

[PaleoBob]

Russia basically told The One to take a hike, that Russia is doing what is in Russia’s best interest

---

As we are in a period of intense focus on Russia, Putin, etc., we really need an effort on our side to better study that nation in the context of the collapsed communist states of the 20th century.

Russia is the biggest flop among them, and we should better understand why Poland or the Czech Republic or the Baltics have prospered post-communism and Russia has drifted back toward expansionism and police state tactics and such.

And why should be better study this?

Because in 1991 there was a great victory for the forces of Freedom in Soviet Russia.—for which there has been little or no return for the people.

Just so, in 2010 there was a great victory for the forces of Freedom in the USA and almost nothing returned to us for it since.

How much do we understand squandered political victories? How deeply did so-called allies of the freedom movements later undercut them? What is contemporary Russia’s RINO-equivalent?

How do you lose so badly in the aftermath of victory? Are we going to “win” again in 2014 only to be crushed by Obama with a big assist from John McCain?

Can a people be so dispirited time and time again and yet find some way to keep up the fight? Have the Russians who sought freedom thrown in the towel? Have we?

[shalom aleichem]

The National Security team met to discuss Ukraine but Bambi skipped it! Susan Rice is “keeping him abreast”. What? That moron!
