It was a reference to WWII, he is not invading Poland. He HAS taken Chechnya, half of Georgia, Crimea, and is creeping up on East Ukraine. The point is that we have an aggressive dictator that needs to be stopped.

This bears repeating:
Whats our national interest in Crimea?
If Putin wants Urkel's opinion about the Crimea, he'll pull Urkel's mom jeans up around his ears till MomJeans SCREAMS it out like the little girl he is.

Last I checked, the EPA was helping Russia by destroying our energy businesses. When wood stoves are outlawed by the EPA, only outlaws (and government agencies) will have wood stoves...

Given the number of commies in Washington DC, we might expect Putin to tell is that Washington DC has a special status, and will be recognized as a sovereign and independent state.

OK, I have to know what that bigger dog is. We’ve got a 120-pound Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd/Walker Coonhound cross and that beast makes our Bear look like that husky. Caucasian Mountain Dog mix maybe?

Oh, that tawny one is an Akita, not a Husky. I still want to know what that monster one is, though, it’s gorgeous.

Vladmir Putin with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The Akita puppy is a present that Abe offered to Putin after Russia assisted the nation in the tsunami that devastated Japan in 2011.

Maybe the Community Organizer will call for a “die in” or something...

I say the West should do something IF or WHEN Putin invades Poland. But we’re arguing with the “America - love it leave it” crowd. I used to be one. That was my typical response to everything.

Putin will address the Federal Assembly (Russian parliament) at 15:00 Moscow time on Tuesday March 18.... in connection with Crimeas and Sevastopols appeals for accession to Russia.
I’d be interested in hearing that. No doubt Washington ears will be ‘ON’ to see what Putin has to say...
Wonder if there’s live online from RUssia available...maybe RT will broadcast it..I suspect so.

The “America - love it or leave it” crowd generally is that way around our Sov . . . er, Russians.

"He has taken ... half of Georgia"
Do you ever look at a geographical map? South Ossetia declared independence from Georgia in 1990, as the Republic of South Ossetia. The Georgian government responded by abolishing South Ossetia's autonomy and trying to re-establish its control over the region by force.
As for Chechenya, it is part of Russia since ... the Caucasian War; it was first incorporated as a whole into the Russian Empire in 1859.
Crimea was part of the Russian Empire since ... the Russia-Ottomans war, 1774.

Putin will say, “Thanks to that Mealy-Mouthed Minnie Mouse Obama, Crimea is once again part of Mother Russia. Comrade Obama, Mother Russia thanks you.”

Well said.
Obama’s pundits haven’t think of it.
Putin did.

Just wait until Putin bombs Kiev. Then the Putinistas will wax poetic Nork style. They really do seem to enjoy this carnage. Sad.
