Is John McCain drumming for boots on the ground yet?
Serious, watch for it.
Then a draft.
That’s what the NWO would like to have, a nice war.
Mother Frs!
Mark my words.
Watch the saber rattlers!

Hagel should consult Mrs. Slick Willy. She used to convey her empty threats through “stern” letters to the offending party.

Well, a war would fix the economy...for an hour or two, anyway.

Not really. The USAF had almost one million airmen back then. The proposed Army strength will be 1/4 that. I don’t think women will be able to sustain any kind of sustained ground combat if we have to go against a resurgent Bear.

Which of course is the whole point of the marxist putting them in combat to begin with.

He’s already done it, Hagel...and what are you and your metro-sexual leader going to do about it?

Russian troops are on the ground in the Ukraine. They took two airports and have been flying in transports of more troops. They are there and Putin has outmaneuvered the weak Obama and the EU. Even as Obama and Kerry continue to drone on about, “You better not do this,” Putin has already done it. So what do we do to keep all of Ukraine from falling in a a domino effect and eastern Europe being dominated by Russia?

1) Immediately have the US and the EU confer with Ukraine and tell them to NOT attack the Russian troops in the Crimea. Have them immediately mobilize their forces to their borders and take up positions and prepare and make any further Russian aggression have to come through their prepared positions. Right now the Crimea is lost, and attacking them there will only invite a much larger invasion and the potential loss of all of the Ukraine.

2) The US should immediately start flying C-17s into Kiev (the Ukraine Capitol) loaded with advisors, provisions, trainers, and a a security force for those people. We cannot get enough people there to stop Putin at this point, but we can show him that the price for taking the Ukraine has now gone up and would be too steep for him.

3) Have the NATO and Euopean countries (Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain) do the same thing (Number 2) at other critical points throughout the Ukraine.

4) Immediately move to make the rest of the Ukraine a part of NATO.

5) Hasten the Ukraine’s entry into the EU.

These measures will block Putin now, and hold him where he is with the gains he has made. It is not likely that the Ukraine will get the Crimea back, no more than Georgia will got its two lost provinces back. But we can limit the damage and build a strong coalition of the Baltic States, Poland, Hungary , Slovakia, the Czech Republic and western Europe to stop Russia where it is.

Otherwise we may see the whole of the Ukraine go over...and that would bne the first step in a process for Russia to once again establish a buffer between itself and western Europe.

Folks, when you elect a man who sat with the Russian Prime Minister Medvedev, just before the 2012 Elections, and told him...when he thought he was off microphone...that after the elections, he, Obama, “would be a lot more flexible,” with Putin...this is what you get.

We need to neuter this guy politically in 2014, and then run he and his ilk out of the White House for good in 2016. If we do not, things will get worse...much worse.

Garry Kasparov said a couple of days ago that if Obummer had been POTUS instead of Reagan in the 1980s, he’d (Garry) be still living in the Soviet Union.
