In October 2008, then-Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin warned that Putin, having been motivated by Obama's lack of response to the Russian invasion of Georgia, would proceed to invade Ukraine if then-Senator Obama was elected to the presidency.
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.
Foreign Policy dismissed this warning as "strange" and "far-fetched."
As we've said before, 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.
Yesterday, Russia invaded the Crimean peninsula of Ukraine and seized control of two airports.
Seems as though Palin's prediction wasn't too far-fetched after all.
Interesting, but I was recently reminded why I’m not impressed by her grasp of geopolitics. It’s good, but it cannot be depended upon to be driven in the right direction. Too easily diverted to politicians who don’t like us.
Whatever. I’m not here to convince you to like or admire anyone. You’re saying she’s not loyal to the rank-and-file? Then who the hell is?
She was loyal to “the rank and file,” but now nobody is. I appreciate your reminder of that earlier.
I’ve explained her perfidy before, I’m not going to go through it again for a cultist, it’s a waste of time.
Bullshit, pure and simple.
You’re right, and I had such high hopes for her, too.
No, your tack is bullshit, and if you could examine it without PDS, you’d see it to. Sounds like no one can live up to your standards of perfection. Have fun voting in the primaries.
You're being a tard. I have no "PDS." I've been one her biggest fans for years, you can ask around if you like. She threw it away in just the past couple of months. Period.
I’m in MENSA, buddy. That’s kind of the opposite of “tard” now isn’t it? She “threw it away” by not sniping at McCain? Lord, no wonder we never win any important elections these days. You do know that the site owner is also a “cultist” by your standards, right?
It isn't in my book. Every MENSA member I ever met was a ****ing maladroit idiot who couldn't keep his GD shoes tied. Thanks for exposing yourself to me as such.
I never asked her to "snipe" at McQueeg. I told you what she did to tick me off, in detail, and I'm not going to spend another ten minutes repeating the effort for you because you're not worth it. You just prove MENSA doesn't mean s*** in the real world.
Funny thing is, I was just starting to look at her with a bit more positive thoughts, and you came along to remind me of her perfidy. Thanks, buddy.
Yeah and your one vote’ll make all the difference.
Thanks Civ
:)
