Former Obama administration Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday on MSNBC’s “MTP Daily” that Russian President Vladimir Putin “has taken off the gloves,” so America and NATO must do the same in response.

Anchor Chuck Todd said, “Let me start with what the mission is now. The mission 48 hours ago was to deter Putin. We have not deterred him from doing this. Now I assume the mission is to get him to retreat in some form or another. How do we do it?”

Maybe we could ask the Taliban if we could get our equipment back. Then maybe we could take off the gloves. These morons amaze me.

So far I'm neutral on whether Putin is the villain here or not - but it's interesting how all the wrong people are suddenly and hysterically angry.

What exactly might Russian special forces be able to seize and uncover in the vaults and computer servers of Kiev?

Ok, Leon. Buy yourself a ticket to Warsaw, sneak over the border, pick up a rifle, and die for Ukraine. Oh. Wait. You want OTHER people to do that? I see.

The problem in Ukraine is the fault of Victoria Nuland and the Obama administration. NATO should have been disbanded after the fall of the Soviet Union.

He’s living the good life in Monterey and anywhere he chooses to travel. Eating good food. Too old for good sex but that’s ok. Let the Hunter Biden’s go for it. Drugs make up for whatever is missing.

Why not start by shutting down US oil drilling and buying more from Russia…that will teach Putin not to mess with the US.

Russia doesn’t have to go to Ukraine to uncover servers full of corruption.

They could just look in their own servers!

Russia has done even more than Ukraine in paying US politicians.

How about Uranium One, to name just one example.

Heck, if we looked into the FBI and CIA’s servers we could look at servers of corruption here at home!

Any of these bloviating fools in congress could push for congress to declare war. As the Constitutional says. Have them all go back to their districts and explain to their constituents why their sons should be sent to Ukraine
