Hussein obamar is all tough guy when it’s Libya or Syria.

I guess this isn’t a war on behalf of the muslim brotherhood so this isn’t of interest to him.

The Homosexual-Activist-in-Chief has more important things on his plate.

He has an important meeting with Reggie behind the bushes on the back nine.

A people who don’t maintain a military sufficient for self-defense have voted to be invaded. It is immoral for them to expect or demand that someone come and repel an enemy. It’s the ultimate bailout.

We should do nothing.

In the brutal world of global power politics, Ukraine is in particular a casualty of the Mr. Obama’s failure to enforce his “red line” on Syria. When the leader of the world’s only superpower issues a military ultimatum and then blinks, others notice. Adversaries and allies in Asia and the Middle East will be watching President Obama’s response now.


This is the scary part of what is unfolding. What will the president do to restore *his* credibility? His actions could be a huge mistake and trigger unthinkable consequences.

Or he could just do nothing and let the USA decline into a footnote in history.

That cute, WSJ.

Now what army are you going to send against a nuclear power in order to seize it back? Or did you guys ever wonder why we never went to war against the Soviets for a host of other stuff?

"The Ukrainians can't be left alone to face Russia, and the Kremlin's annexation of Crimea can't be allowed to stand."

Well, females and gays who want to be on the front lines, here's your chance. Good luck!

Well, a bunch of Soros funded, firebomb throwing insurrectionists attempted to overthrow the legitimate government of Russia’s political ally and very strategic neighbor. These are the consequences. Good luck to them because its not our problem.

WSJ says the annexation of Crimea mustn’t stand? Okay, let Obama, sword in hand, go take it back, accompanied by Hagel’s homo brigades, and a select group of gay athletes. They can all get together and stamp their feet and wave the rainbow flag at Putin’s army.

This is theater to keep Lois Lerner’s testimony off the news cycle this week. Nothing more nothing less. Putin will wind up occupying Ukraine and Obama walks away from the IRS scandal. The Western Europeans won’t do a thing.

If Putin succeeds in Ukraine, he might be tempted to make trouble elsewhere. Latvia and Estonia, for example, have large ethnic Russian minorities that he could stir up.

re: “The question now is what President Obama and free Europe are going to do about it.”

Obama will ultimately do nothing because there is really nothing he can do about it. He has spent all the years of his presidency putting us into a position of weakness in regard to foreign policy.

He has “apologized” to our enemies around the world on several occasions for the times we intervened or stood up for our interests or freedom’s interests around the world.

He has refocused our intelligence services toward domestic spying and bungled/compromised (or was it intentional?) our foreign intelligence capability.

He has announced to the world that we are reducing our military.

He has demonstrated to the world that we will no longer stand by our word/agreements to our allies.

He has demonstrated to the world that he will give all deference to those nations/political groups who are hostile to us while shunning our allies.

And lastly, Obama told Putin in person that once he was re-elected in 2012, that he would be in a much better position to give away/reduce our military/nuclear standing in Europe, and advised Putin to just “wait” a while until after the election.

Obama should issue an executive order requiring equality among world leaders.

It really isn't a fair matchup.

They get Bluto While we only get Urkel.

The Crimea was historically part of Russia until 1954 when Khrushchev assigned it to Ukraine for contemporary internal USSR reasons.

Interesting side-storyr:

Satirist under fire for comparing Sochi Games and Hitler's Olympics

Maybe he knew too much?
