Just wait awhile and they will go for Ukraine. They are testing us now to see how much we will allow.
I think they are suffering a bit from declines in the price of oil, and want to talk it up.
Alternately they are using this as cover for the Iranians.
They have an interest in getting them the bomb, to perpetuate instability - and high oil prices.
Either way it looks like they want to establish a permanent risk-premium.
Kinda makes ya wonder if Patton wasn’t right.
So we must be stalling the inevitable to give us time to plan.
Obama’s answer would be to let Russia do whatever they want and then apologize for it being America’s fault. (The Carter strategy)
But the new 'president' of South Ossetia, Eduard Kokoyty, called for Russian military bases on his territory.
Who didn't see that one coming?
Just wonderin’ where our military is, ya know the one’s who would be repelling the russian hordes..... Do we have any?
Patton should’ve been allowed to take care of those russian bastards when we had the chance.
Wing attack. Plan R.
Short of using the fruits of Los Alamos we would have come to a great deal of grief had we followed Patton’s direction.
.....YAWN.....somebody let me know when it’s time to act like I’m nervous over Pooty’s tough talk
Why, of course. And we’d never do that. I mean, the Russians didn’t do anything like that in Vietnam, did they? No, Poot, I can’t imagine how all those EFP’s and Stingers ended up in the hands of the Georgian, ah, “insurgents.” Wasn’t us. Would I lie?
“We don’t declare war any more it’s an anachronism, it just isn’t done anymore...”
What a great legacy for Pres. Bush...
ARMAGEDDON
And freedom was dead in Eastern Europe for half a century.....
They might. But kicking the crap out of Georgia is one thing. Going after Ukraine is something else entirely. They have half the population of Russia and a large competent army. Ivan might think twice about that.
Someone is letting his mouth write a check his ass may not be able to cash!
Hey putty, BRING IT.
You are a bully. You push until people run, cry or fight back. I agree with my countrymen, we should have dusted you after we finished with Germany.
You make it sound like they are actually thinking and reasoning. I think they are delusional. Russians have always had this spiritual thing, the Third Rome, etc. I think they are just as nutty as the guy in charge in Iran and just as eager to look powerful as the Germans were with Hitler.
