It’s like Chamberlain, Hitler, and the Rhine all over again.

If we didn’t have a candyass resident he would have seen this coming and would have been in Russia for the Olympics working some man to man diplomacy.

Instead he was cowering under a desk whining about gay rights.

I find the Leftists whining about Putin's aggression in August, 2008, to be intellectually dishonest. This country was entering a financial crisis (likely at the hands of Soros) and the election was very close. What did they want Bush to do? Within weeks, McCain had blown his lead and Obama was preparing for his new ‘Office of the President-Elect’. (People should have recognized the phony from the get-go, but alas, they didn't) Putin took full advantage of a lame duck situation. Obama is vacationing, for gosh sakes! In the summer of 2008, Bush wouldn't have had the support to do ANYTHING about the invasion of Georgia. I weep for my country.

No doubt about it.

Cruz is EXACTLY correct. Anyone with even a cursory knowledge of 19th and 20th century history sees the direct correlation between a weak U.S. President and the rise of Nazism, Communism, Islamic terrorism, etc around the world.

When the perception is that the United States won't stand by its allies or the words our President speaks, tyrants like Putin, Kim jung Un, the Mullah's in Iran and islamic terrorist organizations around the world do what they will without fear of recrimination from the United States.

To put it in more recent terms, the same way the world laughed at Jimmy Carter, they're laughing in spades at Barack Obama.

Cruz and all of us conservatives should consider that obama is in on this Ukrainian fix.

During the 2012 election, we were all wondering what obama meant when he was recorded in a conversation with Putin, saying he would have more flexibility after he won the election.

It looks like obama has been very accommodating with Russian aggression in the Ukraine.

Which makes sense: Russian aggression in the ukraine and obama’s refusal to allow more US natural gas exports to Europe hurts America and Europe, while it helps Russia.

I would take the word “partially” out of the title.

What Sarah said in a debate is becoming true. Back then Sarah was ridiculed by the left, but I knew it might happen.

Sen. Ted Cruz said President Obama's "weakness" has embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin to act militarily in Ukraine's Crimea region.

Cruz is right, Obama and his regime are entirely to blame for this.

[SoConPubbie]

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

All I know is if the RNC somehow conspires to keep both of these guys off the ticket all hell is going to break loose within the rank and file.

Now's the time to destroy the Jeb's and the Christies and whatever other retread the bluebloods think they can hand the nomination to.

Time for a POTUS that doesn't go to DC to fix problems but to dismantle the apparatchik.

There is nothing we can or should do militarily about the Ukraine. It’s a European problem. This effort has to be a European effort, but you’re going to find much enthusiasm for WWIII there.

Europeans have their own problem. It’s the ‘Muslim timebomb’ in their midst. It’s a population time bomb from unfettered Muslim expansion, and therein lies the other half of the equation. Even the venerable British are vulnerable as the Muslim becomes the disgruntled poor of Europe.

Who could actually blame Putin? Power abhors a vacuum and the big Obama Suck is on full blast. While Europe commits suicide by political correctness, Russia plots, and the U.S needs to bolster her standings and influence, yet maintain friendliness to South America.

Truly, the SHTF moment is on the horizon.
