During the 2008 presidential campaign, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin warned that if Senator Barack Obama were elected president, his "indecision" and "moral equivalence" may encourage Russia's Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine.
Palin said then:
"After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next."
For those comments, she was mocked by the high-brow Foreign Policy magazine and its editor Blake Hounshell, who now is one of the editors of Politico magazine.
In light of recent events in Ukraine and concerns that Russia is getting its troops ready to cross the border into its neighboring nation, nobody seems to be laughing at or dismissing those comments now.
Hounshell wrote then that Palin's comments were "strange" and "this is an extremely far-fetched scenario." "And given how Russia has been able to unsettle Ukraine's pro-Western government without firing a shot, I don't see why violence would be necessary to bring Kiev to heel," Hounshell dismissively wrote.
Palin made her remarks on the stump after Obama's running mate Joe Biden warned Obama supporters to "gird your loins" if Obama is elected because international leaders may test or try to take advantage of him.

Along with Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann sized things up back in summer 2011 when she warned about the threat of an emergent “Soviet Union”. She was roundly mocked for her choice of words but time has proven her to be right on target. May God Bless these two Patriots: Sarah and Michele.

Obama fires verbs at Russian tanks
.........
Take THAT you armored shock troops!
Michele Also deserves Praise for seeing Putin's Noe-Soviet Ambitions.
A KGB tyrant who wraps himself in the Cross and Pseudo-Nastionalism.
Sarah and Michele are two of our very best, we are lucky to have them on our side.
He truly is the butt of world jokes. So when are his handlers going to decide he’s more of a lie-a-bill-itey then an asset? Hope he hire Vj as his food taster or maybe Holden as his body guard
Aint it funny how all the PDSers are absent from these threads? In fact they will probably be quiet till they think we forgot.
Oh I’m sure they’re ‘here’ but they don’t want their noses rubbed in it.
Sarah is a remarkable woman. What a loss it is to America to not have her as Commander in Chief.
bfl
Yes
Well, we do know one Obama supporter whose loins were girded...
We are dangerously close to a European War.
Stock up on radaway and stimpacks. Real ones. Because we are literally gonna need them soon.
Well 0bama drew a line in the sand. That should say something.
It does. It says “I’m impotent.”
It Says “Green Light for General European War”
BUMP
I read something in a book once. Had to do with bears and wars. I think they called it Arma-something or other.
No worries. it was an old book.
Well, I for one dare them to double down on their mockery stupidity.
Who's *stupid*, now? Leftists, LSM and establishment GOP, that's who.
Never heard of it.
