Hussein isn’t sleeping.

He is being “flexible.”

Just like he promised the Russians he would be.

(broken record alert). If Russia can keep Ukraine and its neighbors on their toes so Muslim terror and migrations from Africa and the Middle East don’t overwhelm them, that’s a good thing.

History repeats itself... Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia claiming to protect the large German population living in the Czech’s Sutherland with the approval and indifference of the rest of the world.

I am sure we can trust Obama on Iran too

Jimmy Carter said he was shocked when USSR invaded Afghanistan.

Said he was sure that USSR leaders were honorable and Trustworthy. Could have happened to anyone Jimmy.

russia will give iran the means to attack israel with a nuke and obama is further facilitating that with the iran “deal”..

and that will start ww3

obama has done more to facilitate the caliphate and the iranian religious motivation to start ww3... why - because he is one of the brotherhood... forget shia/sunni think muslim caliphate and hate/destroy America...
