Emperor Palputin's Galatic Empire has begun! /sarcasm.

He and Darth Lavrov also apparently want to annex MIAMI - as well as Scotland, Catalonia, Alaska and VENICE, too!

Forget Venice --- Florence is sooooo much better in the spring.

In the end, this is what you get when you allow a majority Albanian vote in Kosovo while saying no to the territorial integrity of Serbia, and then trun around and advocate the opposite later.

Even if there were no Russian troops in Crimea, does anyone honestly think that a majority Russian vote would have been allowed in Crimea?

Just saying.

China seems more poised to take over America than Russia, at the moment.

All our factories are in China, and we are importing so much stuff made in China.

Not Russia.

China is currently running a huge trade surplus with America. $440 billion exported to America last year, vs $122 billion imported from America. And that surplus is growing every year.

China has 5 times America’s population.

Keep your eyes on the real problem.

Far as I’m concerned, Putin can have my little corner of this country. I’m quite sure he’d do a better job than the present chief executive.

Listen, I’d be willing to give them Chicago and San Francisco . . . probably work out to our benefit.

You are aware that self proclaimed Russian mobs have seized Ukrainian government buildings in Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv and are demanding a Crimean style “vote” to unite with Russia. None of these three provinces are majority Russian. This seems more important than overheard sarcasm.

If Russia were to annex New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, the people living there wouldn't even know the difference after it happened.

It’s possible the Obamanation, left to his own devices, might cede all or part of Alaska to the Russkies. Remmenber, Russia got the short end of the stick on that deal and the Bamster might want to make amends for it.

I think any Russians trying to take Alaska would have a real hard time keeping it.

I wonder what Lavarov and the Chinese foreign minister talk about... Probably how to divy up the world...

Why shouldn’t they laugh?

Who is out there to stop them, should they ever follow through?

Basic Machiavellianism, (and Human Sociology) is at play here. If you aren’t strong enough, secure enough, or remote enough to protect your wealth, someone will eventually come and try to take it.
