Have you noted the US is not so supportive now of Ukraine?

All that, after overthrowing its government.

Face it, Russia could squash Ukraine in an instant if they wanted, but they haven’t. A few tanks aren’t going to change anything between countries of that size.

Basically they’re letting Ukraine throw a fit, put on a show, have a meltdown, then cry themselves to sleep.

“All that, after overthrowing its government.”

No, that was the globalist overlords in the EU. They just expected us to back them up when they created this mess.

So when the Russians do it with tanks, it’s ok. When the Ukrainians do it with protestors, it’s not ok.

“Thank you for the latest from the Kremlin.”

That’s hardly the latest, it’s the same cycle that has been repeated for hundreds of years.

And your diplomatic “expertise” leads you to suggest that the Ukrainians just accept the status quo and move on. And when they object, it’s because of a Soros/NATO/EU/Euro/Obama conspiracy against the flat tax.

Well....

If you want to believe the same politicians that are publicly “on the record liars” that ordered our border patrol to stand down leaving them wide open..., that ships guns illegally into Mexico to Mexican drug gangs in order to falsely blame the second Amendment for it..., that illegally spies on every citizen via the NSA..., that unleashes the IRS on it's political enemies, etc.... Shall I continue?

Look, so far the Russians are just protecting their own interests. I know you’re going to jump all over that, but don’t waste your time. It just rolls right off.

When the Ukrainian protesters are supporting a coup, chanting neo-nazi slogans, being manipulated by EU globalists, and promoting ethnic cleansing of Ukrainian citizens who happen to be of Russian and Jewish descent, then those who remember WW2 have every right to react.

If Russia feels they need to roll a few tanks over the border to show they mean business, then so be it. Personally I can’t blame them.

“The politicians in Brussels destroyed Yugoslavia which was taking on their Islamists”

Regardless of anyone’s opinion on Russia, the above is some powerful truth to chew on. The EU and OUR own Govt at the time sold their souls in that decision. Unforgiveable.

The EU is a different type of evil. And anyone who can’t handle that and falls back to crying Ruskie is a complete fool. No different than those who worship Obama - blind is blind.

It’s called your being lied to once again..., and you are falling for it hook, line and sinker.

It’s kind of like Lucy and Charlie Brown with football.

Many people are playing Checkers while the Globalist are playing triple electronic Chess.

A real Russian invasion would be a bit more noticeable. We wouldn’t need shaky cellphone videos or blurry satellite images to know it was happening.

Opposing Putin is not supporting Obama, or the EU, for that matter. If one embraces Putin’s talk, they should be able to handle being called a “Russkie.” It’s like throwing slop to a pig. So just own it.
