Reported just now that Obama will speak from the White House about Russia annexing part of Ukraine.
Earlier this morning the White House announced a list of Russians who will be targeted with sanctions.
I’ve got to hit a sale at Target. :-)
Is Obama closing the Russian Embassy? Is the American Embassy in Moscow being evacuated?
All this bloviating clap trap might do something if A) Obama wasn’t the world’s jester and/or B) The USA could export energy to Europe to offset whatever damage Russia could do to them.
Russia doesn’t “need” the US. And we pose no credible threat to Russia (at this time). If western nations do not follow suit, anything Obama does is hollow. And what would motivate any of the EU nations to gamble on aligning with the US? We’ve already humiliated ourselves in several obscene exposures thanks to our Nobel Peace Winning President.
Biden leaving now for Europe, Zero going next week. More weakness on display and humiliation in store for the United States is the likely outcome. He's probably got a fund raiser over there and this Ukraine kerfluffle is just a sidetrip.
What we should be doing is drill...drill..drill...frack..frack...frack, and get Europe off of the Russian Oil Tit.
European imports of Russian oil aren't the problem -- they're generally replaceable. It's natural gas that's the problem.
And, despite an ample (and growing) supply of natural gas, we're not in a position to supply Europe...yet. To do that, we need a fleet of LNG tankers and some LNG terminals where they can be loaded (currently, we have none).
So glad I have Roku and Netflix. And maybe Mark Levin will have time to comment on it.
Absolutely ...... but you know since that makes sense, would impact Russian, and would also help out our country with jobs, energy, etc., that is the last thing Zero will do. He won’t even sign off on Keystone which should be a ‘no brainer’.
“Yelena Mizulina: Mizulina is being sanctioned for her status as a State Duma Deputy.”
Looks like she is being sanctioned because she was involved with the Russian law prohibiting the use of homosexual propaganda towards minors. In other words, she is protecting Russian children, and for this reason, she is on the list.
Has nothing to do with Ukraine. Has everything do to with the LGBT Agenda.
I thought this was satire. Incredible that Obama is issuing EOs on the “emergency” in the Ukraine. :-)
They’re mocking him — giving him the finger. Wonder if he realizes that?
Sounds like an opportunity to put a lot of people back to work.
Of course, it makes too much sense for our politicians.
Ever notice how his rhetoric, expressions and tone of voice against the Russians when they invade a neighboring country, and against Republicans when they refuse to move his bills thru the House, are basically the same?
This equates to Obama studiously drawing a little “frownie face” beside each name on his list.
I can picture him bent over his list, tongue protruding slightly as he labors away, a bead of sweat forming on his brow as he concentrates on forming perfect circles, upside down smiles and making the eyes as evil looking as possible.
Ouch. That’ll show those mean old people.
The Obama soap opera continues.
More lies—The sanctions will be as the “You can Keep your doctor pledge” They will sound good—he will Look strong, but its a puffed up act with no spine to back it up. I will not watch and let Fox News tell me if its anything important. If he tells us he will frack more to feed Europe, Send money and troops to Ukraine, Send Hillary to Moscow, Re-enegize NASA so we will not need Russia, recall our ambassadors—and round up all Russians in America and put them in camps as enemy agents. Then I will listen—but he will not.
