NYT buried this... Looking at Russian news headlines on Twitter, they do seem to have lost touch....

[Para-Ord.45]

Welcome to the new reality, b**ch.

[JRios1968]

Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel is reported to have become “really annoyed” about Russian President Vladimir Putin and has questioned whether he “was still in touch with reality/"

In response, France announced their surrender.

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

They haven’t lost touch of anything. They don’t want NATO bases in Crimea. Frau Merkel is going to have to accept that and more.

The German mass circulation Bild newspaper wrote on Monday that during a telephone conversation she held with US President Barack Obama to discuss the growing crisis in Ukraine she complained that Mr Putin was “living in another world.”

Putin's world might be looking out for Russia's interests and not worrying about what others think about it. Especially toothless tigers. -Tom

I think Putin is shaping reality while Obama is gutting the military.

I’m not proposing that the US get involved in the Crimea, I don’t really think we have a dog in that fight. But we should have a military such that we could if we chose to. The Chinese are watching, and so are our Asian allies. They are all making calculations based on what Putin does and what we do about it.

Sufficient weakness in Europe and the Middle East and we’ll find China’s Pacific border reaching out to include Guam.

[GeronL]

OMG. Leftists at the top are now shocked and surprised that this has happened. Maybe by the time Russia and China gobble up half the planet they will get a clue?

[Starboard]

Putin’s reality is his control over substantial flows of oil and gas, especially to Germany.

[demshateGod]

Well Angie, Putin will do what he wants, and suffer nothing from it. That sounds like he’s in touch with reality to me. You gonna call your IMF buddies on him, Angie? Putin doesn’t care.

[Hyman Roth]

Why does anyone think that Putin gives a F**K what they think? Especially Lurch.

[justa-hairyape]

Obviously the US Oligarchs and Euro Kleptocrats had absolutely no contingency plans in place in case Russia decided to protect the Crimea. Utter fools. You have to anticipate every possible move in diplomatic chess.

Merkel and 0bama are the ones out of touch with reality

[Billthedrill]

sending an immediate fact finding mission to Ukraine... with the aim of ending the crisis through political dialogue.

Uh, Ma'am? This is political dialogue. Nothing makes a diplomatic point clearer than troops on the ground.

[demshateGod]

LOL.
“...respond to the crisis in unison” Whoa! Talking tough.

Next sentence, “Both were said to be in favour of sending an immediate fact finding mission to Ukraine and backed the idea of setting up of a contact group.”

I can here Putin saying, “Vut ish contact group? I vunder vut contact vill group smellz like vin I bombz zem.”

[rdcbn]

The reality is that Russia has just invaded the Ukraine and is in the process of consolidating an occupying force in the country. He plans on staying an converting the country back to Russian ownership.

It seems Obama and the rest of the West are the ones out of touch with reality.

[Zathras]

Germany is worried.
This is bad.

Ask the NSA to check his calls, Angela.
