Pointing out the bad guy won is pointing out a fact of life.

Not sure who won but yes Putin is the bad guy.

Yup, its the reality of todays warfare, this is not 1939 when wars were fought with huge armies, these days its economic, tech, strategic.

Its not 1939 europe when armies were mobilized against Hitler, this is gas reliance, economic reliance, payoffs.

There is a lot of people reliant on russian energy, winter is getting closer, Putin turned the screws, its not hero worship, its just where the power lies and a man like Obama who is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.



I sometimes wonder, is obama surrounded by people that lie to him?
Does he think that people out here in the real world love and adore him?

Everyone I meet despises him, or are embarrassed to admit they voted for him..

I wonder does obama know that?
Because I'm sure putin does.

Putin doesn't have to do a thing to sway American opinion.

As an aside, I would also like to know how to stop the Muslim takeover of Europe. To simply claim Putin is part of a Muslim alliance of evil is quite naive and ahistorical.

Why don't you "get on a plane and go join the fight instead of pontificating behind a keyboard?"

"You've lost your independence once before, with Nato you'll never lose it again," he said.

Given that in the 20th Century alone the Baltic States were annexed by the Soviets prior to being taken by the Nazis and reannexed by the Soviets, I'd say Baraq can't count. Like that's news or something.

"You've lost your independence once before, with Nato you'll never lose it again," he said.

He's also said "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it" so I'd be prepared for the opposite outcome.
