Agreed.

This regime isn’t smart enough to draw Russia into a cold war. It’s completely accidental.

Unbelievable that Obambi has brought us to this point when Gorbachav has to speak out against him.

What's the matter with you? What's Obozo got to do with the Russkies raping, looting and murdering in neighboring countries?

Nevermind, misunderstood your post. Thought you were saying Putin was justified in invading Georgia and now Ukraine.

I forgot about that, the media loves both of these guys.

This story has already been out there for a few months, so far the media hasn’t seemed interested.

Isn’t he posting on FReeRepublic now? I’m sure he’s posting pro-Putin rants.

Nature arbores a vacuum,

and those that are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.

Allies and enemies alike regard Obozo as weak, and act accordingly.

Obama took down the Russian economy and saved America’s at the same time!

Considering how we’ve been screwing over Israel lately, I really can’t blame them. They can no longer even vaguely depend on us, no matter what words on paper say.

Are we doing it by increasing our defense spending and standing Army, no wait that’s Russia and China, we are reducing ours. Are we doing it by increasing our Nuclear weapons, no that’s China, North Korea and Iran, we are reducing ours. Are we doing it by overrunning territory, subjugating the populace, and slaughtering those who don’t follow our creed? no that’s Islam. I guess I’m confused as to what our pansy assed, socialistic, Anti American resident is doing to start a new cold war.

He first mentioned a new Cold War back in November.

Of course it’s hard to have a Cold war like we used to, when Russia is not anywhere close to what it used to be, they used to be so incredibly powerful and ready to roll over Europe with a military of over 6 million men, and a military built for attack, today they are just a country that is hostile to us and doesn’t like us.

Today, what would be so cold or so warlike? Without a WWII how does Russia put together another slave empire to threaten the world with?

Ally with China and take out the United States with nukes. I hate to say that because it is so horrific, but with Obama in place, that’s a distinct possibility.

No one knows what’s going to happen but with the POSPOTUS we have, it won’t be good.

Much of what is happening is attributable to Obama’s, and by extension, our weakness.

They wouldn't try this crap if we had an adult in the White House.

I hope you’re kidding. Obama hasn’t done a damned thing good for the American economy.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
