Affirmitive Action doesn't work in the presidency either.

And...a guy who threw his military medals away is making threats to Putin...what a joke we've become.

[Enterprise]

Putin is dreaming of empire. Obama is dreaming of his next white house party.

[Viennacon]

We’ve come to expect this from the degenerate in chief

[PGR88]

Yes, but we have a wonderfully progressive policy for transgenders in the Military

Take that, Putin!!

[deadrock]

He is demonstrating his flexibility. All part of his ‘America Last’ plan. Being ‘outmaneuvered’ is a smoke screen.

"Putin's playing chess ... we’re playing marbles" Mike Rogers, R-Mich

LOL - Rogers gets it...

Does not look good for Ukraine:

Ukraine's New Navy Head Denis Berezovsky Defects After Just One Day On The Post

This time it is not Russian media but the BBC who reports it. In the linked piece there is also a map of cities in the east of Ukraine that have hoisted the Russian flag. If that is true (needs independent confirmation) Ukraine will be partitioned long before the EU foreign ministers have had their pre-meeting coffee tomorrow.

Marbles vs chess....

C-o-r-r-e-c-t-i-o-n:
Pukey Putin running circles around ZERO.
ZERO ain't the USA.
He just lied and cheated his way to the presidency.

Where’s that Foreign Policy Genius Joe Biden when his boss needs him?

Putin sees not end to his world power anymore.

This comes as absolutely no surprise to me.

Putin's hardline Old Soviet background, his yearning for the halcyon days of glory, confrontation ofthe empire that was once the See See See Pee, has never left his inherently hegemonistic Machiavellian machinations.

He had been playing the reformulated Soviet barbarian in every single position of power many times over, patiently laying down the foundation as "heralded" neo-civilized Russian statesman finally cashing in his chips, none of them Bit-coin, I'm sure.

[unixfox]

Playing marbles? More like tiddly winks.

[God luvs America]

give obama credit- he said he was going to hit the rest button on relations with russia and he has reset them- to 1979...

just like today in 1979 a far left wing president (carter) got stomped by a russian president (Brezhnev)...

[Kozak]

Wonder how our 2 astronauts on the ISS are going to get home?

[chris37]

This president, and the entire us federal government for that matter, needs to be impeached and convicted for becoming an absolute, useless, pointless joke.

America has become a limp wristed fairy.

"Though Rogers often calls on the Obama administration to be more aggressive on foreign policy, he outlined a measured approach that called for sanctions but cautioned against sending the U.S. Navy into the region. "

Does anyone want to declare war and use a military option?

[fella]

Meanwhile O’Bammy has declared his intention to cut back our military to pre-WWII size so was to be able to keep those EBT cards full every month until the end of his term.

Of course our population pre-WWII was fare less than today so in per-capita terms our military will be fare weaker than then.

Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., said Sunday the crisis in Ukraine presents another situation in which President Obama is getting out-maneuvered on the global stage by Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying, “Putin is playing chess, and I think we’re playing marbles.”

And our marble player is the one who starts the match with 100 marbles and goes home with none.
