So now we really have a cold war but as Putin said, ‘the cold war never ended’. We just didn’t know that.
No thanks to us and our misadventures in the Balkans.

WOW so this is how Obama reacts when an election doesn’t go his way, I can imagine what happens in November if the GOP takes control of the Senate, will be issues sanctions against America
When photos of old rusted Russian subs at docks were posted and mocked for being rusted, someone of a smart mind asked: “OK, but where are all the NEW subs at?”
I suspect George Soros has a stake in this. obama was quiet until Soros spoke up. Putin should look what Soros owns and interfere with his holdings.
Yeah. I think Obama also offered to give Kerry a vacation and send Hillary back over with the “reset” button.
