I’m against Obama.
I’m also against the US meddling in Ukraine for ANY reason.
There is NOTHING that could happen in Ukraine that would cause me to change my mind on this...we must stay out of it.
It’s a European problem, if they want to meddle then let them. And if they meddle and get their ass kicked by Russia we should do nothing to save them...let them sleep in any bed they make. Europe needs to pull on their big-girl-panties and stand on their own...we can’t afford to borrow any more money to fight for them.
The fact that Obama want’s to and has meddled in Ukraine merely strengthens my decision.
’ No troops, but military aid. No aircraft but intelligence. No ...”
A job not worth doing is worth doing half-azZ$$ed.
Actually if you listen to the Russians, they will tell you that Obama, Soros and the CIA are behind the uprising in Venezuela just like in Ukraine. After all Communist Venezuela is KGB Putin’s ally. Putin supports and arms every single communist regime in the world.
The flame is already lit, you just don’t know it yet.
Nicolas Maduro: Ukrainian crisis is response to US and EU anti-Russian policy - March 19, 2014 - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has accused both the US and the EU of “double standards” over Crimea and recalled the Kosovo and Falkland Islands referendums as evidence. Maduro says the West is seeking to “eventually destroy” Russia.“There is a certain transnational elite that has been cherishing this dream for 300 years,” Nicolas Maduro said.
The Venezuelan leader criticized “the anti-Russian policy of the US and some European countries,”saying the crisis in Ukraine comes as a response to that.
“What has happened in Crimea is a response to the format that made Ukrainian democracy collapse. And there is only one reason for this: the anti-Russian policy of the US and some European countries. They seek to encircle Russia in order to weaken and eventually destroy it,” he said.
As sad as the Ukraine situation is...we don’t need to be there. We have enough problems here.
Putin is no Hitler. He's not even a Brezhnev. We didn't go to war with the communist USSR, and we don't need to with Putin's nationalist Russia over the Ukraine. We should pick our fights.
Kosovo proves one thing. Putin is afraid of NATO peacekeepers. Yeltsin sent Russian troops to Kosovo, but Putin pulled them out. He knows he doesn't want to fight NATO because it's a fight he can't win. Cowardly bullies like Putin never want to fight anybody their own size or bigger.
Many Ukrainians think we are behind all of this. My friends there tell me that America is being accused of disruption there
That's merely the by product of what he's going for. He's channeling his inner FDR now. The ghost of Lincoln is moving on. What better way to complete fundamental transformation than by nationalizing and centralizing every aspect of private industry and enterprise via a global conflict? What better way to deal with those bitter clingers than suspending rights guaranteed under the Constitution and instituting marshall law in the name of national security?
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
