I know this is hard to get our minds around, but the average person here is more well read and more intelligent. He is little more than an actor reading scripts and “playing” the role of president.

I do not give him credit as some intelligent evil genius. He is simply the hip marketable face of a weather underground cell, of a revolutionary socialist movement, which obtained very good financial backing as they got older.
But he is essentially nothing but a role player, and not very bright. Watch the unscripted moments. He’s a true stoner and it shows.

“and I include the GOP primary voters,,”

Its time to stop blaming the primary voters for McCain, and then Romney. The GOP by blueprint has built a process to prevent another Reagan ascending to the top. They never want that to happen again.

It’s done with caucuses in Iowa, the most progressive state imaginable. Then it’s off to New England, (the GOPe theme park). It’s open caucuses, and crossover voting in the first states. It’s 25 debates that have 9 participants. It’s the GOP remaining silent when Sarah was savaged, and deliberately letting her deal with utterly vile attacks.

In truth, the voters have very few ways to overcome the GOP structural barriers to conservatism.

“Wonder how much truth is behind the theory that Obama’s CIA was behind this mess?”

Lots of it, unfortunately, and the evidence begins with Victoria Nuland, and the US Embassy in Kiev, coordinating with the NGO’s financing the ‘Revolutionary” groups.

All the US Media, but Fox, of course, acted like this call never happened. It never made any of the evening Network News shows.

” Russia’s oil and gas pipelines traverse all parts of the Ukraine”

The Druuzhba pipeline came into Slovakia from Ukraine.
I lived at the Slovnaft refinery in Bratislava for three years. Slovnaft was supplied by the Druzhba line.
Disruption of this line could cause considerable problems
for central Europe.

I am worried that Putin will go for the whole ball of wax

Ukraine as a strategic buffer is important to Russia

Ukraine is also highly valuable ecenomically iron ore coal huge agricultural sector and big industrial base.

We will run our mouth but won’t actually do anything except draw another red line

There’s no truth to it at all. That’s just Russian propaganda.
