Putin Doesn't Threaten Our National Security, Obama Does
American Thinker ^ | 3-5-14 | Don Feder

Posted on 03/05/2014 12:05:23 AM PST by kingattax

Vladimir Putin isn’t the Easter Bunny. On the other hand, he isn’t Joseph Stalin. It takes a truly fevered imagination to see Russian forces in the Crimea as a prelude to Russian tanks rolling across Europe toward Berlin and Paris.

Putin is a power player who cares more about Russia’s national interests, and Russian minorities in his near abroad, than in that mythical force known as world opinion. Would that America had a president who cared more about our interests than in promoting globalism and the left’s social agenda.

The Crimea’s population is 60% ethnic Russian. For most of the past 800 years, the Ukraine has been Russian.

Don Feder is right! Contrary to Mitt Romney, America’s greatest foe is not Russia but Obama.

Well, if the US sends any troops to go against the Russians, I hope they pick odumbo’s gay represenatives. I’m sure they will do a real bang up job. (sarc)

American betrayed itself to Satan, a worse foe than Russia.

Obama follows the fellow who did a horrific dedication, as Monica Crawley explains....

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

Saul Alinsky dedication for his book, "Rules for Radicals."

There is something between the Easter Bunny and Stalin that can threaten our interest. Tanks rolling into the Baltic Republics( which have Russian minorities as high as 30%) and Poland threatens our interest. No need to get all the way to Paris.

There is something between Putin's shenanigans within neighboring territories and tanks rolling into Baltic republics. Ok, not as much something as your example, but you should see the point.

The other side of the coin that few people talk about is the soft tyranny from Brussels. At least Putin maintains somewhat traditional values. The question boils down to whether the people (not the activist or protesters) want a Russian style crony capitalist system or a European one.

I especially like the Soviet flag in the bottom right corner of the photograph in your post.
