Vlad The Protector

So Putin now claims that because ethnic-speaking Russians were in supposed peril he can send in the troops.

Think about the implications of that if it is allowed to stand.

Update: and I see that Mr. Smart Power and his Golden Tongue have got Russia threatening to seize US and EU assets.

Cool.

Did you see what they charge for arugula in Moscow?

    More recent history.

    Jimmy Carter – January 1980, following the prior month’s Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, when Jimmy Carter, silver medalist in the Worst President Ever category, angrily announced, “Brezhnev lied to me!”

    The bottom line is, is that the EU is going to cave to whatever Putin wants because he owns 1/3 of Europe’s Gas and Oil supply. Does anyone seriously believe that the EU would mess with that? Did anyone notice the picture of where Obama made his statement on the Ukraine from? He did it while standing on a blue oval rug that had the ABC’s running around the edge, inside an elementary school classroom. Seemed an appropriate place for Obama to do that since Putin has been taking him to school for years now.

    Also anyone else think that Beijing might decide now is a good time to grab a few more rocks in the pacific.

    I expect a significant baggage handling fee for the next Russki launch, Sis.

    Putin may be taking Obumbler to school but he never learns anything. About all important matters, Obumbler remains invincibly ignorant.
