Yushchenko, hero of Ukraine's Orange Revolution warns Europe that Putin won't stop at Crimea

by Matthew Schofield - McClatchy Foreign Staff
March 27, 2014

Many Ukrainians believe you need look no further than the face of Viktor Yushchenko to understand Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

Once smooth and ruggedly handsome, it still bears the scars from an assassination attempt when someone slipped dioxin into Yushchenko's food. ..."

Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch' on Ukraine

Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

Is anyone in DC taking notes?

They should be.

With all this To Russia, With Love business going on here I may need to check into it. I wonder if the Russian Orthodox Church has room for displaced American Protestants?

[dragnet2]

Turkey f’d up bad. A real stupid move on their part.

[Joe Bfstplk]

I long for a leader with balls, other than golf balls.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Not to worry, Obama will probably make us take up the slack.

[Vermont Lt]

That is one of the most poorly written stories I’ve read in a while.

There are quotes, but no attribution. There are no definitive statements. There are a lot of “ mays” and “coulds”.

When there is something more definitive than someone’s blog, we can take this seriously.

[LibFreeUSA]

Something tells me that Putin is not like Obama.

[CivilWarBrewing]

I hope 0dunga’s finger isn’t on the nuke button when his true colors come out. Turkey showed their true colors and with Muslims it’s NEVER good.

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

You may find this interesting. It is a talk that goes into depth on analysis of the situation brewing in the Middle East based on historical empires and conflicts.

It specifically discusses the conflict between Russia and Turkey and predicts that Russia will conquer Turkey.

But here is the kicker: The talk that the speaker gives was done in September. The Russians flew their first bombing run in Syria on September 30. Turkey was not yet in the picture.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

No dyengi for you!

[jwalsh07]

Nonsense. Turkey runs a huge trade deficit with Russia importing much more than it exports. And Russia is basically broke. The Putin worship here is extraordinary.

[loungitude]

When’s the last time the U.S. did this?
I do recall giving a ton of dough to iran, however.

[altura]

It’s extremely sad when Americans wish their leader was more like Putin.

[Steven Tyler]

Putin to Turkey “It’s not you, it’s me. This relationship is over”

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Beat’s the hell out of WWIII.
