With a swiftness and organization that suggests the plans were hatched weeks ago...

Russia had one last Winter Olympic event: Hegemony.

Obama wants to signal weakness. He wants the world enslaved to socialism, and the US diminished militarily. His phoney-baloney speeches are only intended for plausible denial.

Before it's over, he'll find a way to give away our most sensitive military secrets. Hell, Bubba already got away with it.

Putin declares war. Obama yells, “FORE!”

Good advise WSJ. Perhaps we can crew those sixth fleet ships with all the illegal aliens you want to make citizens before we sail them off to fight the russians.

Why would you declare war on your neighbor country, simply because they had internal political strife?

Here we go. Obama has signaled the world that he has neutered our military, now they all have a green light.

Folks, this is an excellent object lesson. As we falter, others wills step up. We’re not going to like much of it either.

If Russia gets away with this, they can and will do it again. They’ll do it in short order too.

We’re going backwards folks, and thus the world is as well. This isn’t good. Welcome to the 1930s.

The foreign policy of the United States should be as tough as George S. Patton, but since World War II the Uniparty politicians have been building “world order”.

Afghanistan was just another high tech version of Vietnam with fewer casualties, started by the one the GOPe want you to believe was a tough guy, George W. Bush, and continued to the even weaker pusuit of the war and inevitable pullout from Barack Obama.

In the higher circles of power, the foreign policy of the US
has been deemed “bipartisan” since World War II, aimed at building “world peace” or “world order”.

This editorial from the GOPe editorialists at the Wall Street Journal is designed to have us believe the Republicans are tough guys.

After 9/11 if Bush had dealt with Pakistan who created the Taliban and Saudi Arabia the home of Al-Quaeda in a George S. Patton way, then there would a difference between the two big parties.

I have certainly learned by now there are no major differences between the two big parties when it comes to raising taxes and spending too much money.

EMOTIONAL RHETORIC IS USED TO PRETEND THAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE A TOUGHER PARTY WHEN IT COMES TO FOREIGN POLICY AS WELL.

Why not? After all we just announced that we will no longer have a viable military force to act as a deterrent. This is exactly why we should have the best military force in the world. This is the only real mandate our elected government has, to defend us, and Obama has announced he will not do that..Time for IMPEACHMENT.

Tell the WSJ to go stuff it up their rosy red. The Crimea is now and has for years been more Russian than Ukrainian with Russia’s warm water ports there.

The WSJ is sabre rattling because they see mobilization for war as a way out of the recession that they know we are in. It’s the Democrat way.

On the one hand, it’s fun pointing out how weak Obama is perceived on the world stage.

But on the other, is anyone here really interested going to war with Russia over their invasion of the Ukraine? I’m not. Hand it over to the UN and call it a day.

"The Cimmerians, Bulgars, Greeks, Scythians, Goths, Huns, Khazars, the state of Kievan Rus', Byzantine Greeks, Kipchaks, Ottoman Turks, Golden Horde Tatars and the Mongols each controlled Crimea in its earlier history.

In the 13th century, it was partly controlled by the Venetians and by the Genoese; they were followed by the Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire in the 15th to 18th centuries, the Russian Empire in the 18th to 20th centuries, Germany during World War II and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and later the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, within the Soviet Union during the rest of the 20th century."

Let’s give those Russians a stern lecture. That will put them in their place. Not since Jimmy Carter have we been this weak on the international scene.

Why should he care about the Ukraine? He is too busy destroying the military and cutting off all funds in order to keep giving food stamps to “his people”.

Well I guess a second harsh letter to Putin is now called for. Putin better be careful because the third harsh letter will all be in CAPS.

Maybe we can dig up Lincoln and have him kill a couple hundred thousand easterners and burn their major cities to save their "Union".

He was good at that.

Might be tough though, he's buried under a couple of tons of concrete.

Didn’t we used to call Ukraine “The bread-basket of The Soviet Union”?

Obozo was always in over his head, now we will all SEE just how far. No Speech will camouflage it, no NYT editorial will spin it, no presidential sleeve snapping strut to the podium will overpower it. Reality. One Hard Bitch.

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

Let France and the rest of the Euro-weenies deal with it. They always conveniently complain about U.S. wars while sipping wine in their tight pants. Let them see what a real bully is.

I wonder when China is going to make its move to send in troops to places it claims. I imagine it will be within a couple of years.

They need a strong Navy, however.

They have interests all over the world.

Perhaps it is waiting for the United States to get even weaker.

It isn’t hard to imagine that Russia and China will divide the world beteeen themselves.
