The takeover of Crimea by Russia is nearly complete. All that remains is the final vote on March 16. There would not be a vote if the outcome was uncertain.

I would love to have a real man in the White House but Bush was not it. He was as much out of his league dealing with Putin as Obama is. I still think this is his dumbest quote and the man was famous for his dumb quotes:

Q: As president you met and dealt with many foreign leader...you write, “I’ve always been able to read people.” Vladimir Putin, when you first met him you said you got a sense of his soul...

Bush: I looked in his eyes and saw his soul.

Sorry to tell you thus Dubya, but when you look into the eyes of a KGB agent you see whatever the KGB agent wants you to see.

“Troops Install Minefields, Border Markers in Crimea”

the only purpose for this is to mislead people into thinking the the Crimea is the end, rather than the start

Last year in a poll only 23% of Crimeans wanted to be part of Russia.

What changed it was the Maidan which brought to power a regime in Kiev dominated by Ukrainian nationalists.

Russian-speakers followed suit with their own revolution in Crimea and turned the Party Of Regions government out of office.

And Ukraine had been very effective at keeping a lid on pro-Russian separatist sentiment. Now that’s gone and Crimea is going its own way, having taken over the central ministries in the republic and forming its own army and security service with Russian help.

I don’t see how that situation gets reversed. They are already part of Russia in all but name and the referendum will merely ratify Moscow’s bloodless takeover there.

These ARE Russian troops. Nothing “pro” about it. Spetsnaz and other commando-type units. Previously known in the Ukraine as SS troops.

Putin taught Obama how to be a “real red”, not a marxist-in-progress like the Messiah is.

I think, however, that a minefiled around NYCity, San Francisco, Chicago, Oakland and parts of Baltimore, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detriot, and Boston, would be in order. Keeping the reds in, and making the rest of America safe for patriots.

We have not military leadership any more. Dempsey is the “Chump of Staff”, not “Chief of Staff”. The Secy of the Navy Mabus is only fit to command a rubber ducky in a bathtub, nothing more.

The Air Force Academy. A joke. So PCed that students have to cheat for thrills.

Marines. Losing ground every day to PC and pansy-ification.

Army; Ruined by Rules of Engagement. Lost too many good soldiers and the leadership never stood up to Obama and Dempsey and others and told them to go to hell.

IRS: the New Gestapo in America. What they are doing to D’Nish DeSouza is horrible and the judge who restricted his movements (even though they seized his passport), should be tarred and feathered and sent to jail for a couple years.

DOJ; Department of Jokesters and Jerks. While a few units have retained some integrity, others have not. The Civil Rights Division is now known as the “Good Germans Division”, but instead of practicing anti-Semitism, they are practicing “anti-conservatism” much like the Nuremberg Laws demanded.

Congress is gutless, ball-less and full of communists, progressives, socialists, crooks and political whores.

The Democrat Party is one big political whorehouse with Madame Pelosi the “dominatrix” in charge. Where do you think the term “House Whip” came from? Probably Harry Reid’s “Mustang Ranch” tool collection.

Right now I’ve got another bout of stomach virus, but I’m more sick at the state of disgrace that America is in. Reds and crooks as leaders; an emasculated/eunuch military leadership; a Congress that you could buy for a few dollars, elected by no-education voters and marxist-liberals; and a media that is best at bending over and taking it up the butt from their liberal commissars.

What is going on in the Crimea and America’s lack of response, led by the Coward in Chief Obama (who doubles as the “Marxist in Chief” in his other personna), the Bay Hap River Coward John F*cking Kerry, the mental midget Secy of Defense Hagel, the Eva Braun wannabe Hillary Clinton, the Evil Witch of the West Michele, and fools like Schumer, Reid, Durbin,Boxer, Feinstein, Gillibrand, McCaskill, and the always EVIL Kathleen Sebelius, Tom SackofShit (Interior), Gina McCarthyism of the EPA, and Eric “I Hate White People” Holder at the Dept. of Injustice.

I thought that my virus made me sick, but that is nothing compared to what the American stupids did in Nov. 2008 and Nov. 2013. The fools and traitors from within are much more of a clear and present danger to a free America than is Putin and all of his stormtroopers, Red China with its expanding Navy and Air Force, and Islamic jihadists with a copy of the Koran up their asses.

I can take medicine for my stomach illness but what can I take for well ails America?

The only thing I can think of now to save this country is a national electoral ENEMA in November, one that cleans out the leftist crap and racist fools who run (and ruin) America today.

Every vote counts so be there in November.

It will be if Mexico has a military as strong as Russia’s, and America’s is as weak as Ukraine.

If you don’t learn the tactics of muggers and rapists, you’re a fool to venture out onto the streets of most cities.

Nobody here is defending Clinton's Serbia and Obama's Egypt and Syria.

Now why don't you pick another US example and compare it to what Putin Is doing in Ukraine.

I am cheer leading Putin. Not afraid to admit it. Know why? Because he is setting an example for the left everywhere. Obama spent 5 years as our nations leader being lawless. Venezuela also.

If Republicans had any brains, they would tie this to Democrat left wing ideology and say this is what is coming to America. I would tie it to the MSM, George Soros, Jimmy Carter, everyone..

Go Putin.

“How will food get to Crimea? who will pay their pensions?”

that’s why it will not stop with Crimea.

I doubt that KGB Putin has overlooked the fact that Crimea is vulnerable to the same kind of utilities cutoff that he has been using for years against Ukraine, E. europe etc

which suggests to me that he will go for a larger part of the Ukraine that is not vulnerable to a food blockade or a utility shutdown.
