WHITE HOUSE TO PUTIN: Don't 'Even Think About Messing Around' With The Baltics
Yahoo ^ | 8/29/14 | Brett LoGiurato

Posted on 08/29/2014 5:56:17 PM PDT by Nachum

President Barack Obama's message to Russian President Vladimir Putin when traveling to Europe next week is to not "even think about messing around" with the Baltic states, the White House said Friday.

Obama is traveling to Europe next week for a meeting in Wales with other NATO leaders. He'll also make a stop in Estonia, where he will meet with the leaders of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in an attempt to reassure allies amid burgeoning Russian aggression in Ukraine.

"The two stops are essentially part of the same effort to send a message to the Russians that their behavior is unacceptable," Charles Kupchan, the White House's senior director for European affairs, said in a conference call with reporters Friday afternoon.

"You have in Estonia a large Russian population, and therefore part of the message that the President will be sending is, we stand with you. Article 5 constitutes an ironclad guarantee of your security. Russia, don’t even think about messing around in Estonia or in any of the Baltic areas in the same way that you have been messing around in Ukraine."

Holy crap.

This is both incredibly embarrassing and scary at the same time.

I know that everybody thinks this time that they live in is the most tumultuous and dangerous in history.

But I think any student of history would have to look at this time and think there looks to be a confluence of large events of the type that are historically significant, and have plenty of historical precedents.

There is a shift of power going on in the world right now. There are many people around the globe who wish for a world without American influence. They may get their wish, and they may find out (to their liberal chagrin) that there are things out there that are a lot worse than America.

There is a big money issue. We’re broke. And there isn’t anybody interested in fixing it. So, in our lifetimes, we may well see the wealthiest nation in history have a financial implosion.

Never mind what’s going on over the Middle East.

So, yeah. I do think these are historic times we are living in. I think they are significant, and I feel pretty strongly that history will see it the same way.

And in the middle of all this, we have an incompetent fraud who, by the way, is also malevolent.

“We don’t have a plan.”

“They aren’t our enemies.”

“...don’t even think about messing around in...”

That last line. In dangerous, frightening, and significant times, our government issues ghetto-speak.

It isn’t even amusing. I find it alarming.

Putin isn’t stupid enough to not know he is outmatched on the battlefield if he fought the U.S., and the U.S. would not be fighting alone.
