Posted on 03/04/2014 9:35:09 AM PST by ColdOne

President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Russia saw no need to use military force in the Crimea region of Ukraine for now, in remarks apparently intended to ease East-West tension over fears of war in the former Soviet republic.

The use of force by Russia in Ukraine would be a choice of last resort, Putin said, and sanctions being considered against Moscow by the West would be counter-productive.

Putin is paralleling 1930s Adolf Hitler near syllable for syllable in his “justification” for his actions. Scary! Yet we have a “Neville Chamberlain” clone as POTUS.

Tell Vladimir I will have more flexibility after the election.

(Translation: I'll be busy transforming America and will stay out of your way because I already have a Peace Prize.)

Which in the real world means: let’s cool down the situation for a little while we move enough armor and infantry into position.

Will buddy Vlad Putin be as flexible with the Renowned Obamanation Backwards Foreign Policy as Soetoro-Obama was with Putin?

Rumor has it that Vlad Putin has his eye on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his defusing of the Syrian “Red Line” Crisis.

Another rumor is that Putin could win the Nobel Peace Prize if:
* he sold all of Russia’s US Treasury Notes;
* requested that the USA be dropped from the G9; and
* appointed Snowden to be the Russian Ambassador to the United States of America.

Hasn’t he already used military force? Just because your troops don’t encounter opposition doesn’t mean you didn’t use force.

Well, the bar has been set pretty low, considering some of the recipients of late... Obama, Gore, Carter, Arafat

Putin has been on the phone with Assad.

They’ve got this wired.

Never underestimate the power of the Left Stream Media’s control of the Court of Public Opinion.

FORWARD !

The people of the Ukraine should blow up some of the oil pipeline with the rest ready to blow if Putin and his thugs move anywhere but back to their own borders.

I think if I were them there would be lots of busted pipelines.

The people could always build it later and the damage fiscally to Russia would be good.

If Russia invades further, keep trying to blow pipeline up and make it expensive to stay.

If I were citizens of the Ukraine I would be thinking of doing that.

No, he’s decided to wait until the airing of the final four games when he knows neither the citizenry nor Odumbo will be paying any attention to Ukraine.
