Ukraine is screwed. And a good number of FReepers will cheer, because Putin “showed Obama who’s boss.”
so what do the elites think now about bammey the boy and his govt?.....is the way things are supposed to go....Russia taking over the world and sending the world in either a world depression or a world war, maybe both....
They are Mob owned, and any decision to help or hinder the Ukraine is contingent on whether Obama's owners can profit.
Kasparov makes total sense, the whole column is spot on.
Others will point out it was idiocy to jettison our mutually assured destruction NBC arsenal thinking it would never be needed... and then lo and behold the European Union makes moves on Crimea.
If Obonghit were out of office and replaced today... even by Alan West we would still do nothing because right now we can do nothing.
Disarmament had a consequence and you are watching it. Conventional forces don’t mean squat here.
Obama and the west won’t lift a finger to help Ukraine and some FReepers will cheer the bloody invasion and call it a victory over “western imperialism and aggression” - or whatever term the Kremlin tells them to use.
Bugs Bunny would call them “maroons”.

“Ukraine is screwed. And a good number of FReepers will cheer, because Putin “showed Obama who’s boss.””
He continues to show Obama who’s boss.
But not to worry. Once we figure out this abortion and gay marriage thing, we can get right on Ukraine and the middle east.
The job was to do nothing but focus the ire of of the "Right," whatever TF that is, on him, instead of on the Mission of Team Obama.
This hurts more than it should because while we are running around constantly telling each other how bad the Muslim Homo SOB is, the mission to wreak havoc goes on and on.
The problem ain't Obama. It's that there is no PROGRAM, NO PLAN, No PARTY, and NO LEADERS offering solutions. All we are saying is, "We ain't Obama."
Sorry. That ain't good enough.
Don’t despair. Russian bodies are piling up. Initially, those were mercenaries and spec-ops, but that wasn’t enough against Ukraine, so now they’re starting to call up the regular Army forces. I’m setting the target number of 10-15,000 dead Russians before Putin will stop, because the percentage of Russians who do support war against Ukraine is low, at 5%. Don’t rule out a “terrorist attack by Ukrainians” against Russian civilians to trump up that number. Also what Ukraine has going for her is the use of her Air Force. Plains are getting shot down, but the air strikes are still effective. Lastly, there’s low support in the population for DNR and Russian “liberation”
