During the 2008 presidential campaign, GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin made what has turned out to be a prescient remark about the relevance of a U.S. president's resolve and its potential impact on Russia's posture with the old Soviet Union's satellite states. She observed: "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."
Many in the press ridiculed that notion. Among them was Blake Hounshell, who was then blogging at Foreign Policy Magazine. Characterizing Palin's notion as "strange," he wrote: "As we've said before, this is an extremely far-fetched scenario." Hounshell, now a deputy editor at Politico Magazine, has handled Palin's self-effacing Facebook "I told you so" ("I could see this one from Alaska") and pile-ons by center-right blogs too numerous to mention with tweets demonstrating the class, dignity, and good sportsmanship you would expect from the high-brow commentariat, i.e., none (HT Twitchy)...

In all fairness, we don’t know that he’s a drunk.
There is no shame and no penalties for liberals
Talk about hilarious (or sick)! This idiot is lecturing Stephen Hayes over Obamas failure on Russia. Because everyone knows it’s not Obamas fault.

He can also always lose weight; if he does, he'll still be stupid.

We really need to stop coddling White working class voters. You can’t vote for shitty RWNJs then be shocked at the things they do and say.

I don’t know if it is necessarily that Palin has a particular insight to America’s foreign policy challenges or that she understands the typical Russian Strong man thought processes that Putin has displayed and how the weak posturing of Obama would encourage Putin’s empire rebuilding agenda.
Regardless of which way Palin thought about it, it should have been obvious to anyone but a pacifist Leftist ideologue what would happen without a strong response from the only world power that mattered at the time.
Given Obama’s weak response to the invasion of Georgia all Putin would need is an excuse to invade the Ukraine. I give Putin credit he tried to pull in the Ukraine by less militaristic methods first but when the people of the Ukraine saw through his ploy and rose up against his would be puppet president he was ready to send in the troops as any strongman emperor wanna-be would do.
I saw it coming why didn’t this so called Foreign Policy expert. (Because he didn’t want to and he ideologically had to so he could ridicule Palin)

If some guy has the name of Blake, you have to ask yourself, “Does he walk or does he shashay?”
I’d like “V. Hussein Savage” to show me even one instance in world history where a mostly impoverished 12% minority conquered a much better-off 72% majority.
blake hounshell doesn’t fool me with his two-day “beard. He has a fat-slob neck. That said, he’s a ignorant political hack who has an inability to think clearly.

Fat, balding, chin-beard, lying, liberal extremist hate-filled liberal facist?
