Cracks me up. The invasion of Iraq set a precedent, but not Putin’s actions in Georgia.
Iraq has had its own elections, with its own government and has not been annexed as part of the United States. Do you think Russia will give back the Ukraine and allow them their own elections?
The POTUS has made it quite clear he will do nothing about North Korea, will not defend Israel, and thinks its just dandy that Iran will have nuclear weapons. Why on earth would Putin not think that he would have carte blanch to invade the country of his choice. “Smart Power” is to blame. Really should be called Incompetent weakness.
