I’m content with Obama doing NOTHING, because the prospect of that Amerika-hating fool in charge of a nuclear showdown with Russia gives me the heebie-jeebies.

And frankly, I’m glad McCain never became President, because that bastard would have gotten us into WW III.

President Obama emphasized that the Crimean “referendum,” which violates the Ukrainian constitution

This piece of crap violates our constitution with his EOs almost daily and has the audacity to come out with this?

We’re headed for WWIII regardless. I would rather have McCain in charge than wimp-in-chief we are currently stuck with. For all his faults, McCain is a real American and wouldn’t back down like the sissy in the White House.

BS. Our country has its problems, but we are not sending the military is not being sent in to insure the “correct” results are being obtained.

So Obama is worried about duress in the Crimea, but is perfectly happy with Obamacare and tax laws in the US.

Righty-o.

England did learn from the American Revolution. When Canada came about to politely request independence, England politely said “OK”. I don’t see Scottish independence being any more contentious than that.

Putin ended the call with, “Now go home and get your effing shinebox.”

"Oh, go play with your (golf) balls."

I agree. I don’t expect any fireworks if Scotland decides to go it alone.

McLame is for giving the country away through amnesty and ran such a lousy campaign that he lost to the sissy. He also assured us that we had nothing to fear & that the sissy was a good man. The bigger idiot may have been elected, but it was a race between two idiots.

The internationally recognized that the right to self-determination is satisfied when a defined group is able to exercise its own choice regarding its political future. On July 2010, the International Court decided that the declaration of independence of Kosovo did not violate general international law, basically because the international law contains no prohibition on declarations of independence. WHY would be any different for the Republic of Crimea, who declared already its independence from Ukraine prior to the referendum?

Pro-Russia demonstrators hold large copies of United Nations documents on the right to self-determination outside the regional parliament building in Simferopol, Ukraine, Sunday, March 16, 2014.

” The bigger idiot may have been elected, but it was a race between two idiots.”

Hit the nail on the head.
When the American people’s choice is between two idiots, there is no hope.

Yeah, I’m sure the fact that they are being occupied by Russian troops had nothing to do with that.

They are not “occupied” doofus, no more than American military bases “occupied” Hawaii.

Russia has naval bases in Crimea since .. wel ... Peter the Great.

Even before the mob started to burn everything in Kiev, there were 17,000 Russian troops in Crimea.

How more ridiculous can you be?

Yeah, sure, the people celebrating the referendum result in Crimea seem "terrorized" by "Russian troops occupiers" ...
