Kiev (AFP) - Ukraine's acting president on Wednesday said Crimea's separatist leaders had three hours to release the detained head of the ex-Soviet state's navy or face "an adequate response".

Acting president Oleksandr Turchynov said in a statement that "unless Admiral (Sergiy) Gayduk and all the other hostages -- both military and civilian ones -- are released, the authorities will carry out an adequate response... of a technical and technological nature."

I was discussing the Founders.

I was not discussing their enemies.

Again, by definition, the Founders did not fawn over tyrants like Putin.

Actually I would be happy for Putin to re-take Constantinople.

It was ours initially.

How about tyrants like Obama?

Obama is a terrible President, but he was voted into office fair and square.

No opposition leaders have been imprisoned, no critical journalists were murdered, no wealthy funders of the opposition have been exiled or held without trial, no state governors have been forced from office and replaced with unelected federal officials, no soldiers with their insignia concealed have been sent to occupy New Brunswick or British Columbia.

Obama will become an actual tyrant if he tries to hold onto power after his term ends, or if he uses executive orders to suspend civil liberties.

We'll be watching closely.

But there really is no comparison.

Next, you’ll be telling me he’s an incredibly devout Christian. Gees. Do you Putinisatas ever give up and accept that there is something profoundly wrong with Putin?

Only time will tell. Interesting to look back on these threads in retrospect. As a historian, I believe we are only getting started on unpacking the annexation's significance.
