Thank you. Real policy ideas unlike the brain eating Trump virus.

Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch' on Ukraine

Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

Its easy to say 'Let Putin have the mideast'. what it means in reality isn't good for anyone.

Syria is has been a Russian Client state for a long time so their support for Assad is understandable and not worth fighting over. That doesn't mean they should roll over the mideast unopposed. I wouldn't be opposed to a degree of shared leadership there but you have to have the right man sitting across the table from Putin to do it right.
