JAKE MILLER CBS NEWSMarch 1, 2014 Sarah Palin On Russian Action In Ukraine: Told You So
With Russian forces moving into Ukraine's Crimean peninsula and preparing for a possible deeper incursion into the former Soviet republic, former Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, took to Facebook Friday to boast that she saw it coming.
"Yes, I could see this one from Alaska," quipped Palin, who was her party's 2008 vice presidential nominee, in a reference to her assertion then that Alaska's proximity to Russia afforded her unique insight into U.S.-Russian relations.
In October 2008, after Russia's invasion of neighboring Georgia emerged as a foreign policy flashpoint in the homestretch of a heated campaign, Palin told an audience in Nevada, "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."
Her prediction was derided by Foreign Policy magazine as "strange" and "extremely far-fetched," but Palin, frequent media antagonist that she is, couldn't resist crowing about how events have played out.
"I'm usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did, despite my accurate prediction being derided as 'an extremely far-fetched scenario' by the 'high-brow' Foreign Policy magazine," Palin wrote Friday.

“I could see this from Alaska.” Now that’s funny!

Yes, it is.
I am taking that to be a slap at the idiots who claimed she had actually made that statement.
Of course, NONE of them will pick up on it and will probably use it to say “See, I told you she said that”.
I would love to see her run for Senate this year - then if the opportunity opens up - go for it...
Even though the ‘e’ side of the R’s and the D pols don’t ‘like’ her, she may still come across well with the public, though I thought she should have run in 10 when her accomplishments were still fresh in peoples minds..
Now she’s # 2...
What will Obama take away from the Crimeria? I doubt he and people who surround him will take away nothing. Learn
nothing, do nothing but talk.
Just read on the tv trailer that Kerry said nubama may not attend the G-8 in Sochi because of Putin’s invasion of Crimea. OH SOB< SOB Now that would be a crying shame!
Sarah has had so many “I told you so” opportunities!
.
Maybe we should give them a consolation prize for putting Palin in her place, after their epic fail in Europe. Forget that we could end up in another cold war after we ended that last one due to the effort of Ronald Reagan. Forget that Easter Europe could be once again be dominated by Russia.
You’re right. She’s an evil liar and a traitor.
Oh for sure and yet, the other side and some supposedly on our side, revel in calling her dumb.
Sheesh, they’re the dumb ones and they’re arrogant about it, too.
You’re right on every count.
