I have been to Kiev and to Crimea.
Russia already possesses Crimea. Russians own all the property there. They have huge military installations.
Russian border down to Kiev is great tank country. They can drive about 1500 tanks there in about 2 hours.
Any more flack from the American sponsored coup in Kiev, Russia will shut off the natural gas in Ukraine, and roll in the tanks.
Obama’s threat to cancel his vacation to Sochi is bizarre. That guy is way out of his league.
If Obama had been a decent statesman, he wouldn’t have had a problem going to Sochi, watching the games, and keeping his cool in the presence of Putin, rather than make some threats that will become pretty much a tableside Joke to Putin and make Russians feel more comfortable with him.
Obama really is pathetic at making threats, or knowing how to make them in such a way as to be taken seriously.
