I think it’s pretty clear that we are not the leader of the free world anymore, Russia is. It’s not surprising since we don’t have a legitimate leader in this country...

That’s OK, Samantha Powers gave the Russkies a good scolding at the UN.

You’d think a “Black belt” would know how to tie a belt. The man in the background has a properly tied square knot. Putin has the kind of knot I yell at my 10 year old for tying.

But I can count on Russia - it can be counted to be there when a call was put out for its help and its acceded to the request to allow Crimea to join it.

Oh brother. You needed a barf alert for your own post.

So the only choice for the Ukraine is to remain a vassal state of Russian? Unbelievable.

Hopefully they were smart and saved a few tactical nukes just for this occurrence. If course you would still blame the Ukrainians for wanting freedom rather than to bend over to their Russian overlords.

It's a lot like the old Chamberlain/Hitler thing.

Even worse. Observers noted that Hitler was in high anxiety and sweated out his bluff of Chamberlain. Putin has yet to break a sweat eating Obama's lunch. He has got to be thinking, "This is to easy."

I’m pointing out that we don’t want to be the world’s policeman.

And just because we no longer want it, doesn’t mean the vacuum remains empty. Others - like Russia will be more than happy to fill it.

Which is exactly what is now happening. And there is nothing we can do about it.

Putin figured these clowns out right off the bat. He knew he was dealing with buffoons. And he knew there was not limit to where his ambitions could take him.

Putin does not care for such details. He doesn't wear correct attire when he rides horses either. He doesn't have to. He is an autocrat: he does what he pleases and anyone who criticizes does so at great risk.

[So far it appears that Ukraine] is the second Obama surrender to Putin in two years. Do you think it will be the last?

I can see Obama asking Putin to be "flexible" and relax a bit.

It would not surprised me to see Obama try to create a faux crisis after assuring Putin that it's for domestic purposes only and not to worry.. destroying the "tea baggers" by charging them with sedition is the purpose.

FDR's Great Sedition Trial of 1944 started with small fry and planned to move up the chain of opposition. FDR failed. Obama might succeed, the Establishment today is arguably aged 1960s New Left Marxist-Alinsky radical, campus psycho spoiled brats and their ideological issue. The Establishment in FDR's days were Americans who eventually stopped the atrocity.

The Great Sedition Trial of 1944

Doesn't this sound like something that's already been done against the "tea baggers"?

"My mother was indicted with many others, most of whom she had never had any contact with whatsoever. For example, some of such co-indictees were members of the German-American Bund. My mother said they were included to give the case a ‘sauerkraut flavor.’ "

I guess the pictures that mac daddy sent to Putin of him in his newest sexy bra and silk panties had no effect.

The mac daddy administration is such an embarrassment for America throughout the world with no creditability anywhere.

Why are we are obsessed with Crimea when we aren’t paying attention to what goes on in our own backyard?

We abandoned the Monroe Doctrine a long time ago.

These Paulbots and DU posters are useful idiots.
Putin is a murderous monster who worked as a KGB agent in east Germany with Stasi to kill and torture defectors to the west.
