Russia is waging war on Ukraine. That much is obvious.

Actually, Ukraine is in a US-Sponsored War with itself.

Putin is reacting to events, not creating them. That he has outmaneuvered the incompetents in the White Hut at every turn, shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention for the last 6 years.

If we hadn’t financed the most Radical elements in Ukraine, and encouraging them to overthrow the elected government, a Ukrainian Flag would still be flying over Crimea, and people wouldn’t be dying in a civil war.

Russia warned LONG AGO that they would never allow Crimea to fall under western control.

And the US just sits on its ars and King Obama hasn't a damn clue what to do. America has turned into the most useless Country on the globe because it is the most powerful and has done nothing right during King Obama communists club. The first big mistake was reneging on air defence for Ukraine.

I think Obama not only doesn’t have a clue, but that he and Putin share so many goals. The US becoming a useless third rate power is one big one.

Sure is. And you watch, the front is going to expand exponentially. By the end folks will have seen the light. It will be too late to be resolved peaceably by then.

We either abdicate Europe, or we confront the wombats in Moscow.

Wherever the location of the next country, you can rest easy knowing that it will be the USA’s, and not Russia’s, fault.

If you look at the assault on the U. S. right now, it’s a perfect storm.

Russia and China in concert...
Russia invading it’s neighbors...
Mexico, Central and South American nations invading the U. S...
The culture wars in the U. S...
The indoctrination of our kids in the public schools and universities...
The Islamification of the U. S...
The assault on Christian religion in the U. S...
The assault on Conservatives in the U. S...
The assault on Whites in the U. S...

Man, this has got to stop. If we give a damn about our nation, the White populace needs to pull it’s head out, and start objecting to the stealing of our nation.

LOL, you and I have disagreed quite often here.

On this one, you’re dead on target IMO.

Whichever one gives Moscow the slightest excuse.

Honestly, beyond that I don’t know. What I do know is that Putin is in trouble at home, or something else is going on for this guy to operating this way.

It seems as if the SHTF moment has come for him, and he’s trying to stave off public disapproval.

“If you look at the assault on the U. S. right now, it’s a perfect storm.”

You forgot to include China moving on the Spratley’s, by placing a huge oil platform there.

Vietnam and China are nearly at war over it now, and some Chinese factories in Vietnam have been burned by protestors.

Worse yet, the U.S. Mainstream press is pretty much ignoring it.

I’m not saying it will be the U.S.’s fault, but you can rest assured there will be a contingent that will see it that way.

That’s my take on it.

Didn’t mean to take sides against you there, if you saw it that way.

“What I do know is that Putin is in trouble at home,”

A US polling outfit said yesterday that his approval rating in Russia has risen to almost 89%.

“or something else is going on for this guy to operating this way.”

Yeah, there is something going on. It’s called “Obama’s Incompetence”, and Putin has moved to take advantage of it.

That is the difference between a leader that studied Alinsky, and a leader that studied Machiavelli.

I agree with that.

We financed the whole thing too.

We jumped China ahead fifty years in the last 15.

Now our kids will pay for it dearly.

At least some people made money off this. A.H.s

Yes, his polling figures do seem to be good at home. That’s my point. He has played the nationalism card to great advantage.

What was looming that he felt he needed to?

We both know Obama is an idiot. That still doesn’t give Russia cause to invade a nation that was no possible threat to it.
