A blockade is an act of war, yes?

Really? Maybe they should make Obama publicly acknowledge that the Falklands belong to the UK first.

Evacuate all Christians and let the remaining muslims have at each other till there is one left standing.
Give him some hummus and tell him to go to Iraq.

THIS is amazing.
The British Navy is going to block a Putin military cargo vessel?
That’ll be the day.

re: “Really? I can surely see Putin worrying about his insurance policies...lol”
Exactly. This is Obama standing tall against Russian aggression?? Withdrawing insurance for the weapons??
What a joke we are to Putin. He’s already got Obama’s number and knows he could do anything he wants and our government will stand by and let him do it - except maybe Obama might send Putin a very stern letter.
On the other hand, if Obama actually sent some of our ships to block Putin’s what would Obama do if we found it?

He’ll have to take the Churchill bust back into the WH first...and then exchange the crappy gifts he gave to the Queen for something more appropriate...oh yeah, and then say; “pretty please, Your Highness”...LMAO!! Whadda jerk!!!

Suppose this ship accidentally disappeared in the middle of the ocean due to a massive internal explosion? That would be a real shame.
To: winoneforthegipper
I guess this is what Hillary called "smart power." Lots of luck with that Hil. I'm sure the Brits will want to act like your bitches just because you tell them to. Especially after three and a half years of obama's racist hateful insults. What squat we have for a gubbermint.

That would be a shame. In a rational world we would support Russia with Syria in return for Russia supporting us with Iran.

Not always. In the modern world, the UN is often the arbiter of when a blockade is an act of war or not.

Those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.
Hitler was selling tanks and planes (which he claimed he didn’t have) to one side of each neighboring country that was involved in civil wars. His goal was complete takeover.
The US and Britain were aware of it, yet didn’t want to get involved, and possibly start WWII.
You know the rest of the story.

OK.
But in the real world they have been given that power by many countries. This was the rationale for the Korean “police action” that was not a “war”.

I think the army should send in Obama and Hitlery to handle it. The Brits really don't need to draw Russia's rage upon themselves to please the boy king. Russia has already made noises of using nukes on any country that messes with them and Putin would do it. He's as vicious and sick as Obama. I think Obama is community organizing chaos and violence for all his enemies - which most of us would see as our allies.

TOTUS thinks he's Dennis Haysbert...
