“Putin makes his chess move.”

And why wouldn’t he? He has no organized, strategic opposition on the chess board.

Sad how this clown, 0bama, has decimated America’s reputation around the globe while opening the border to hoards of illegals, welcoming them with open arms and an open wallet.

Putin has Obama under his thumb. Cuba is an excellent staging base.

Putin makes his chess move.

*******************
And why not? He’d be foolish if he didn’t take advantage of Obama’s weakness and acquiescence. Putin correctly see’s a big green light to do whatever he wants.

I’m really surprised that Putin hasn’t been a lot more aggressive but maybe its just a matter of logistics that’s slowing him down. Whatever, Putin is on the move; Obama is in retreat.

For the folks who have been warning about American meddling in eastern Europe and antagonizing Russia over the Ukraine, this move comes as no surprise.

Cuba is an excellent staging base.

Along with Venezuela which Russian warships periodically visit.

Now just imagine what is going on that we don’t know.

It's not about Obama being "weak". It's about him basically being on their side with an almost identical worldview and agenda.

I blame the American people for being lazy in 2012. Now it’s 4 more years.

And an excellent reason, when we get a real president, to meddle in E. Europe.

An excellent reason if you’re a defense contractor. Gratuitous escalation of tension between nuclear powers is not so good for the rest of us.

I simply responding to the laughable notion that it’s the US’ fault that Russia is doing this.

Russia has been doing that since Stalin.

If we don't respond, they keep coming.

I don't think that there is any question that since the breakup of the Soviet Union, their political aspirations have clearly been to achieve a "do-over".

Like the closely related Germans, they don't have a word for "Stop".

It's patently clear that the perceived weakness of the US is the driving factor here and they are filling the vacuum. If the goal is to relegate the US to a global busboy along with it's European loser friends.......They are doing exactly the right things.
