President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Russia saw no need to use military force in the Crimea region of Ukraine for now, in remarks apparently intended to ease East-West tension over fears of war in the former Soviet republic.

Putin is paralleling 1930s Adolf Hitler near syllable for syllable in his justification for his actions. Scary! Yet we have a “Neville Chamberlain” clone as POTUS.
(not...)
(Translation: I'll be busy transforming America and will stay out of your way because I already have a Peace Prize.)
Which in the real world means: let’s cool down the situation for a little while we move enough armor and infantry into position.
Will buddy Vlad Putin be as flexible with the Renowned Obamanation Backwards Foreign Policy as Soetoro-Obama was with Putin?
Rumor has it that Vlad Putin has his eye on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his defusing of the Syrian Red Line Crisis.
Another rumor is that Putin could win the Nobel Peace Prize if:
* he sold all of Russias US Treasury Notes;
* requested that the USA be dropped from the G9; and

Well, the bar has been set pretty low, considering some of the recipients of late... Obama, Gore, Carter, Arafat

Gold Prices dive as Ukraine tensions diminish.

Putin has been on the phone with Assad.
They’ve got this wired.

Never underestimate the power of the Left Stream Media’s control of the Court of Public Opinion.

The people of the Ukraine should blow up some of the oil pipeline with the rest ready to blow if Putin and his thugs move anywhere but back to their own borders.
I think if I were them there would be lots of busted pipelines.
The people could always build it later and the damage fiscally to Russia would be good.
If Russia invades further, keep trying to blow pipeline up and make it expensive to stay.
If I were citizens of the Ukraine I would be thinking of doing that.
No, he’s decided to wait until the airing of the final four games when he knows neither the citizenry nor Odumbo will be paying any attention to Ukraine.
