Yup, that’s Russian tanks invading Ukraine.
A country we promised to defend in case this sort of thing happened…signed by the Democrats favorite Bill Clinton:
Bill Clinton, John Major, Boris Yeltsin and Leonid Kuchma – the then-rulers of the USA, UK, Russia and Ukraine – agreed to the The Budapest Memorandum as part of the denuclearization of former Soviet republics after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Technically it means that if Russia has invaded Ukraine then it would be difficult for the US and Britain to avoid going to war.
Oh stop…Obama will not go to war. Russia knows this, the world knows this. Send some air support over a tinpot dictator’s country he has no problem with. Go to war with Russia? Honor our commitments to other countries?
Hahahahahaha. Yeaaaaaaah.
The man is worse than Carter ever was.
Obama's Syrian "red line" debacle led directly to these events in Ukraine. Dictators like Putin don't ask why use power. They ask why not.

Yup…and how will Obama back down like the weasel he is?
US calls Crimea "uncontested arrival", not invasion. Obama will win semantic fights in the air while Putin wins with troops on the ground.

Unbelievable.

YOU SAID THE RIGHT THING,
WNSTON MIGHT HAVE SOME FAMILY IN RUSSIA SENDING HIM NICE THING,
BECAUSE THEY KNOW HE WILL NEVER GO VISIT,
IF THEY WOULD BE CAUGHT SAYING THE TRUTH THEY MIGHT
BE PUNISH, JUST LIKE OBAMA IS DOING WITH THOSE NOT IN LINE,
BYE
Winston
it seem like RUSSIA was not taking good care of UKRAINE,
that is probably why they want out,
and the last gone leader left with UKRAINE ‘S BILLIONS,
is VLADIMIR PUTIN SCREWING THE UKRAINIANS?
WHERE DID THEIR BILLIONS GO ?
@Redteam:
Very true Redteam. In fact, makes me think that someday soon we may even see a similar scenario where Mexico sends troops to “protect” their Mexican citizens in America because they don’t like the dangerous treatment they are getting in places like LA and all along the US-Mexico border. I know it sounds silly but that is basically what Russia is doing in the Ukraine. And then they have the gall to send in troops with no identification to “confuse” the situation. Well, what would happen in America if troops with no known identity suddenly appeared on our shores? Maybe the government wouldn’t know what to do except run to the UN but American citizens would know! “A gun behind every blade of grass, you can bet your ass!”
Obama and his underlings are acting every bit the same as Chamberlain, only I don’t know if Chamberlain made public comments about it being Happy Hour after he came back from Munich in 1938.
Obama’s total incompetence sickens me more every day. The fact that people still defend this worthless fool as he further destroys the US is beyond tragic.
@Pete:
Pete, these agonized fulminations of yours, they’re really something. I enjoy them, so I hesitate to ask: has it occurred to you that perhaps you’re being a tad melodramatic? Your moral and historical world views appear to me to have all the sophistication of a Star Wars movie. When you pull back the heavy curtains and peek out the window, do you see a liberal Death Star menacing you from up in the ether?
Obama is a “b**ch. Liberals are incompetent “scum”. Etc: I know you guys can do better than this. And perhaps consider tempering your glee at the prospect of a POTUS’ failure in cases of national security. It’a a bit unseemly for sure. As I parse these posts for some semblance of analysis, all I see is an assumption this wouldn’t be happening if a more “macho” President sat in the White House. Is that really a legitimate viewpoint given all the facts? If only we had a POTUS strutting around the flight deck of a US carrier in full flight suit, Putin wouldn’t dare assert what he considers to be his legitimate interests in Ukraine? Simplistic nonsense.
@Tom: Obama is weak and leaders around the world can see it. Muslims respect strength and Obama is now less popular (more hated) than Bush in the Muslim world.
Now would actually be a good time to suspend the 1st Amendment because it is harmful to the country for reports such as that the President didn’t even attend the security briefing on Ukraine yesterday presents us as even weaker and uninterested in world events and harms us more.
Those great debts really knock me out
They kick the West’s behind
Angela’s blubbery cellulite is hanging out
That EU troika is always on my, my, my, mind
Take me to the Carpathian Mountains way down South
Let me foreclose your daddy’s farm
All the way the bankers’ hands are reaching out
Come and grease your comrade’s palm
I’m back in the EUSSR
You don’t know how lucky you are… boy
Back in the EU
Back in the EU
Back in the EUSSR
@Bill Burris:
Respectfully, here you are jumping to an uninformed conclusion. You have no idea why he didn’t attend that particular meeting. You don’t know what he was doing at the time, and you don’t know what briefings he did in fact receive. He also had a 90 minute phone call with Putin. Do you think perhaps that call, and prep for that call, may have taken some precedence over other items on his schedule yesterday? We are told by FA that Obama is to blame for the crisis in Ukraine almost immediately after it begins. Is that an informed judgement? With Ukraine, there appears to be very little interest in anything but complaining on the President. As usual.
@Tom:
The way you put it, it does seem like utter nonsense. But why do you give Putin any legitimacy in whatever he may consider to be his interests in the Ukraine? The Ukraine is a separate republic. Just because there are Russian speaking peoples in the east does not make them “Russian” citizens. What gives him or the Russian parliament the authority to protect these people as “their” citizens except for their desires to do a reconquista of a territory lost from the fall of the glorious old Soviet Union? His pride was hurt from the fall of the Soviet Union and he wants to put Humpty Dumpty back together again! Ha! Sheer stupidity because they have the same weaknesses they have always had and saber rattling doesn’t change that one iota.
And just what would be so bad about having a more macho President instead of a dunce in the WH? Just who is going to stand up to Iran, Russia, China, NorKo, and the Muslim Bros. who are running loose while no one tends the asylum? Do you like having a panty waist posing in jeans and shirt with rolled up sleeves trying to look like a tough guy? Is that the WH idea of being an American cowboy, afro-style? I’d rather have Django tha this sorry ass from Indonesia! What a wuss. I know, behind your unstated comments is more BDS, blame Bush for everything that is happening today, even though someone else has been at the helm (supposedly) for the past five years. Believe me, there is no glee in the REALITY, not prospect, of the failure of this man-child. I only have a sadness at the sheer stupidity of the American people who voted for this clown and a dread that we will ALL rue the day he was elected POTUS. But the commies are working their plan and Barry has been the enabler. So while all the drama plays out, it is the action behind the scenes that we should all be worried about. It is really all about the domestic enemies among us. It is a two-pronged attack but the public is made to believe that diplomacy and the UN will take care of the problems. Right! Bunch of incompetent fools.
All I can say is “Go pound sand!”
@Aguila2011:
Important clarification: I don’t label his interests legitimate, from my perspective. I simply point out that he obviously sees it that way. It goes directly to his motives and the importance he attaches to this. Before we all start measuring the lengths of our rattling sabers, perhaps we should soberly consider the following. For a view into the West’s appetite for prolonged military intervention, ask yourself why isn’t Ukraine in NATO? What is the Russian perspective on Ukraine joining the EU and what exactly precipitated this crisis? What is Russia (Putin’s) view on teh current borders of Russia? Anyone who thinks that this was a 50/50 call and Obama’s bike gear pushed over the edge is delusional. Also, isn’t it possible that this is going to be a disaster for Putin and Russia? Do you not see precedence in past Russian adventures in this part of the world? It seems that FA has already anointed Putin kingsh*t stud of the known universe five hours after this all began. I’m just waiting for more bare-chested photos of Putin on FA for his admirers to ogle.
TOM
AREN’T THEY THE BRAINS, THEY ARE SO INTERESTING TO READ,
DON’T YOU THINK? AND THEY KNOW SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU AND ME,
THAT IS IF YOU UNDERSTAND IT, BUT YOU DON’T
IF YOU DON’T, THAT IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO LEARN SOLID VALUES,
@Tom: Tell me something, Tom; at a time when the Russians have troops massed along the border of a country we have a treaty to protect Russia has already invaded part of that country, what is more important than a security briefing on that situation? Just because Susan Rice can repeat lies with a straight face is, her briefing is no substitute for the President’s presence and input in such a tense situation.
Of course, these views are all in the context of someone acting as President that has some experience and ability to deal with aggressive leaders and tense situations. Most likely, as when the Benghazi consulate was being sacked, he needed to have a nap to be fresh for some important fund raising.
RUSSIA THOUGHT THEY HAD UKRAINE EATING IN THEIR HANDS,
THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN,
UKRAINE IS UNCHAKEBLE HARD HEAD LIKE THE CONSERVATIVES THOSE YOU CAN TRUST AND FEEL SECURE WITH THEY WON’T SCREW YOU IF YOU ARE ONE OF THEM,
BUT SORRY FOR WHO ARE THEIR ENEMY, IT IS TO NEVER BE FIX,
UKRAINE BELONG TO UKRAINE AND WILL DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT,
AND IF THE OTHER DON’T AGREE THEY CAN GO BACK WERE THEIR ORIGINS ARE,
YOU WILL NEVER GET UKRAINE UNDER YOUR CONTROL,
VLADIMIR PUTIN, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU TO THINK HARD ON IT,
I SAW TWO UKRAINIANS GET A BEATING ,
AND I DID NOT LIKE IT, THEY HAD DONE NOTHING,
SO VLADIMIR PUTIN, KEEP YOUR DOGS ON A LEACH IN RUSSIA,
NOT IN UKRAINE,
THE REPUBLICAN WHERE RIGHT TO NOT ACCEPT CHUCK HAGLE TO GET HIS TITLE,
HE SCREW THE MILITARY BY AGGREEING TO CUT THEM IN A WAY THEY CANNOT RECOVER FAST ENOUGH IF SOME LUNATIC ATTACK, THIS AMERICA,
YOU WHERE NOT FIT FOR THE JOB AND THE REPUBLICANS KNEW IT,
THIS JOB YOU GOT IS NOT FOR PARAKEET,
@Bill Burris:
What treaty is that? The 1994 memorandum does not obligate us to unilaterally intervene. http://www.cfr.org/arms-control-disarmament-and-nonproliferation/budapest-memorandums-security-assurances-1994/p32484
On Fox News, Marvin Kalb was being interviewed about Ukraine. He was asked what grade he would give Obama for the way he is handling the Ukraine situation. He responded: ” About a B+, there is not much he can do about it and that’s what he’s doing.” He should have added that Zippy is twiddling his thumbs.
@Tom:
There is no ‘prospect’, he is an utter failure in everything he does, even teleprompter reading.
@Tom:
Actually that would be preferable to him riding a girl’s bike.
When you live in Fantasyland as all leftists do, it’s easy to defend the indefensible.
Anything requiring UN Security Council action is doomed.
Russia is a member and will veto any action to rein itself in.
@Tom:
LOL…what a classic ‘Of course I am sophisticated enough to see the granduer of the Emperor’s New Clothes!’ post from you. Typical leftist “You conservatives are too ignorant to comprehend the sophisticated nuance of leftist policies” deflection intended to distract from another glaringly obvious leftist failure.
Your obvious disdain notwithstanding, how do you address the fact that Palin and Romney – who both predicted quite accurately the current Russian behavior 6 and 2 years in advance, respectively, yet were lambasted by self-annointed leftist pseudointellectuals as being laughable stuck in a 1980s mentality – were in reality correct in their assessment while Obama and his leftist experts were…totally wrong?
From any standpoint of honest evaluation, Obama has been a complete failure as president. Though this is hardly surprising to those of us who actually looked at Obama’s prior job history, as a community organizer (Tony Rezko accomplice), state senator from Illinois (“Present”), then US Senator from Illinois -(arguably winning after his opposing candidate Ryan withdrew when someone acquired Ryan’s sealed divorce records and smeared him with salacious allegations from his ex-wife) in which Obama accomplished nothing other than lots of empty speeches, and let us not forget his tenure as editor in chief of the ivy league law review…where he is known for being the only such editor who never published anything.
Since you obviously believe yourself more erudite and nuanced that such a simpleton as myself, by all means please enlighten me with your wisdom, so that I may hope to understand and correct the error of my ways….
What foreign policy success(es) has Obama had during his tenure in the Oval Office?
Because I am looking at the failed Iranian uprising that Obama didn’t support; and the failed Obama support of the pro-jihadist Muslim brotherhood in Libya against Qaddafi…which resulted in the murder of US Ambassador Stevens right before the 2012 elections; and the Obama failure of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood thug Morsi in Egypt over the population-supported military coup against Morsi; and the ridiculous egg-on-face Obama empty threat maneuver he pulled with Assad and Putin over Syria…which certainly seems to have ol’ Putie trembling in his booties as Obama warns against Russian military moves into Ukraine…just to name a few failures. Surely you can point out where I am wrong and at what foreign policy successes I must’ve missed…you being so much smarter and sophisticated than my drooling self…
What economic success(es) has Obama had?
Because I am looking at the drop in US employment workforce participation to 1973-1975 levels, the longest sustained >8% unemployment rate of any president in our history, (yeah…the current ~6.7% rate being due mostly to that pesky drop in total workforce participation rather than an actual improvement in the employment situation…measured in the poor ‘new jobs’ numbers), the almost severe increase in food stamp numbers – almost 50 million Americans on food stamps – more than the entire population of Spain, the drop in the US credit rating under Obama, the >$1 trillion/year deficits since Obama took office, the increase in the national debt from $10.8 trillion when Obama took office to the $17.3 trillion less than 6 years later, the fact that out of the last 6 years the democrats in the Senate have refused to vote on an actual federal budget – as the Constitution requires them to do – and merely pushing continuing spending resolutions along thus driving us deeper and deeper into debt. Tell us, how has Obama’s “shovel ready jobs” program worked out? Please, I am just dying to hear from you what economic policy success(es) Obama has produced in his now 6 years in office!
What benefit has obamacare produced?
Because you know, as an intensive care physician with over 19 years experience in medicine both in the government/military and in a civilian setting, both in academic centers and private hospitals, I am just too ignorant to have any idea how medicine works, so please enlighten me as to what a great magnificent shining edifice of whiz-bang goodness obamacare will provide. Cuz…I see 85% of Americans had insurance they liked before obamacare, and yet the left decided to warp the entire system to cover the alleged 15% who had no insurance. I see people paying premiums (unless taxpayers have to SUPPLEMENT them) that are on average 66% higher than what people were paying for insurance before. I see people paying deductibles that are 2-5 times higher than they had before. I saw Obama and most every democrat lie over and over, saying things like: (on videotape – over 29 times for Obama)
“If you like your doctor, you can keep him.”
“If you like your insurance, you can keep it, PERIOD!”
“If you make less than $250,000 a year, your taxes won’t go up a single dime”
“My plan will drop the cost of insurance $2500 a year for the average family of four”
“Obamacare is not a tax” (before the election) “Obamacare is constitutional as a tax” (Obama Admin lawyers arguing in court)
I see 75% of doctors in deep blue California refusing to accept obamacare patients because the reimbursement rates are too low for them to pay their overhead to see a patient. I see businesses cutting employees to less than 30 hours per week because the business owner cannot afford to pay the obamacare costs. Then I see the Treasury trying to bully businesses into signing statements, under penalty of perjury, that their business practice of cutting hours and cutting numbers of jobs is not due to obamacare mandates. I see bloviating obnoxious jerks like Ezekiel Emmanuel denying the existence of “death panels” – despite the fact that the actual function of the Independent Payment Advisory Board was to deny payment for medical care determined by the government to not be “cost effective”. I see the estimates of 6-7 million people who received insurance cancellation notices because of obamacare mandates. I see the government claiming 4 million people have “signed up” for obamacare, yet even the NYT recently stated that an estimated 20% have not actually paid their premium and are therefore not in possession of an obamacare policy. I see the video tape of Secretary Sebelius from last year claiming that 7 million obamacare signups would be what is needed to succeed, then I see her current claims that she never made such a statement…even though I can still google the video where she said it. And I still can’t get any leftist to answer the simple question – if obamacare is going to have such a fantastic positive effect on the economic and jobs as Obama and his cheerleaders keep saying, then why did Obama via executive order violate his own law and delay the implementation of the employer mandate until after the 2014 congressional elections? I mean – you leftists being SOOOOOOOO much smarter than us idiot conservatives – surely you can explain all the apparent contradictions and failures of obamacare versus the glittering rhetoric your savior Obama graced us with before his coronatio…uh….I mean election?
Honestly – name anything that Obama has done as president that has improved anything in this country. Anything…anything at all….
Oh…and feel free to use whatever sized words you like…I can use the dictionary if necessary. I wouldn’t want you to have to dumb down your naturally superior vocabulary on my uneducated behalf….
@Tom: Who said anything about acting unilaterally? However, will we be obligated to act? It would not even be a question if our so-called leadership would practice projection of strength rather than projection of weakness.
If called upon to act, will we see a liberal President back out of an agreement another liberal President committed us to?
@Pete:
Wow, Pete, that’s quite the raging inferiority complex. Let me guess, did a “Leftist” steal your lunch money again? LOL.
@Pete: ouch.
@Bill Burris:
Bill, try getting your facts straight before offering an opinion. Then you wouldn’t be forced to move the goal posts 100 yards down the field in a panic. You stated that we were obligated to “protect” Ukraine due to a “treaty”. That’s just plain wrong. Now – of course – you’re pivoting to a completely different argument.
And what agreement would that be? What do you mean by “back out”? Why don’t you tell us exactly what that means?
Tom the village idiot again ducks all the questions, instead reverting to the liberal tradition of name calling.
@Scott in Oklahoma:
So much comically wrong with this hypocritical statement, I don’t know where to begin. Maybe Scott can show us all where the Liberal “village idiot’ indulged his “liberal tradition”, because I don’t see it.
@Tom: I don’t believe I moved anything nor pivoted anywhere. A memorandum or treaty or handshake of mutual defense and support in the event of an outside attack is still a commitment, particularly if signatures are attached. So, call it what you like, but we have a commitment to Ukraine of mutual support in the event of something exactly like what Russia is doing right now happening. Clear enough?
“to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine” . What kind of assistance are your envisioning? Bottled water? Generators? What kind of assistance does one usually require in the face of naked aggression of the military sort? And, by back out, I mean to take the first exit offered in order to avoid a responsibility, exactly of the sort he leaped at after his rather stupid “red line” threat regarding Syria. You see, all Obama thinks about is politics and he will not commit to anything that he cannot control politically. And, when dealing with foreign affairs, it is difficult for our lap-dog media to control the reporting of the outcome or results. Sure, they can keep sycophants here at home in the dark, but they won’t be fooling anyone overseas. If faced with having to commit to living up to that “agreement”, which is written down and signed on paper (sort of a “treaty”), he will be doing the pivoting… again.
The only embarrassment I suffer is whenever Mr. Obama opens his mouth with some more of his threats of “dire consequences”, “serious repercussions” or whatever hollow words which only impress the easily impressed. I can only imagine the rolling of eyes, muffled snickers and mockery that accompanies the receipt of Obama’s warnings.
@Bill Burris:
Bill, perhaps instead of asking me what assistance I envision coming out of the memorandum, you should read what is specifically states. We don’t need to guess. If you want to argue the merits or flaws of the memorandum, that’s fair. If you want to argue what the US should do regardless of the memorandum, that’s fair. But that’s not what is being argued in this post, or (from what I can tell) by you. It’s simply dishonest, or at least incorrect, to argue that Obama is bound to intervene militarily based on the memorandum, or to say he’s not honoring a commitment. (It’s also two days since this started, so hardly enough time to draw conclusions.) The fact is that Russia is the nation that has has not honored the memorandum, not that you would know this from this post or the comments that follow.
@Pete:
You preach to the choir Brother!
But the real issue about Barry’s success or failure is what barometer you use to measure. By American standards, of course he is a failure. However, by Socialist/Communist standards, is he not accomplishing EXACTLY what he said he would do “Fundamentally Transform” America? I think according to that measure, his bosses would give him an A+.
Do you think that all the turmoil going on has not been orchestrated? His meetings and bowing to China, Russia, the Middle East were settings to put the plan into motion because Barry is one of them, a fellow “Comrade.” And now he is trying to make our military even less effective at a time when his buddies start making their moves. Alinsky would be proud. Cloward-Piven is working. Why do you think there is no corrective action being taken with the American economy? Flood the ballast and the ship sinks even faster. Foreign and domestic demands will overwhelm our country into a frozen state where we feel inept and incapable of responding. And our leadership is playing their part as only a handful of patriots on the Hill fight back (Gowdy, Sessions, Cruz).
That is why Comrades like “Tom” make all sorts of excuses and does verbal gymnastics trying to deflect from the real issues. Kinda like the supposed treaty that Clinton did. This from the man who argued “What is the definition of “IS”? Now that treaty, and Tom asks for concrete examples of liberal duplicity, is a perfect example. Clinton made a treaty that meant “nothing!” BFD! The US will run to the UN and decry any moves against the Ukraine. Oooooh! So serious.
And then Tom questions why Ukraine is not part of the EU. Really? Where has he been all the while Russia was blackmailing previous Soviet bloc countries about having hosting military bases, weapon systems (missiles), and small things like joining the EU or NATO? Oh, we are to believe that it was the EU that did not want the Ukraine to be part of their economy but for all the threats to Europe over energy and who knows what else.
So you provided a good run down of Barry’s accomplishments, ha! and seems eerily similar to someone else named Clinton, doesn’t it? All titles and no accomplishments. And yet 40% of the voting public simply drools over the prospect increasing their government largess while dreaming of realizing “historic firsts” like a black or woman president, as if that kind of crap really matters in the big picture. Don’t get me wrong, I would vote for a person of color or a woman if they were a person of character and intellect, of honesty and loyalty, and someone with a true American heart, not born and raised in another country with a heart that is not loyal to the red, white and blue (the US Constitution, the flag and it’s citizens). Barry gives not one shit for any of this because he is not an American at heart. Look at his character. Listen and read his words. Follow his actions and you see the true nature of the person. Reminds me of the story of the frog and the scorpion. Well, America was duped, and we are being stung as we go down. Too bad no one has the balls to take him on. I bet if you got little Barry on the court and gave him an elbow in the solar plexus, he would fold like the cheap suit he is, and then he would run away.
@Tom: The point is and always has been, at least as far as I was concerned, that were it not for Obama’s projected weakness, beginning from when he yanked the ABM facilities from Poland and Czechoslovakia to placate the Russians all the way through Syria, we would not have this crisis before us. If it is deemed necessary to engage in some form of military action to honor the treaty/memorandum/agreement, then we are drawn into a dangerous situation for no other reason than a would-be dictator felt emboldened by Obama’s ineptitude. If Obama chooses not to honor Clinton’s commitment, then the nation is once again unnecessarily embarrassed by our failure to be reliable.
I don’t have to manipulate anything. I’m not in the position to have to defend a proven failure.
@Bill Burris:
Don’t you recognize self deprecating sarcasm when you see it? There is no “ouch” in this. Pete is only playing to Tom’s inflated ego. It gets bigger every time he looks in a mirror or when someone says something like you just did.
@Bill Burris:
Putin’s first grab was, how do you spell G E O R G I A ? He took what he wanted and no one did anything about it. Now he goes for the breadbasket that Russia needs.
@Tom:
Typically weak leftist response to straightforward presentation of easily verifiable facts. My use of sarcasm against the derisive tone of your initial post is hardly evidence of an inferiority complex, but your failure to address a single point I made speaks volumes as to the worth of your position.
@Pete:
Pete, I don’t have the time to address your novella length off-topic response, nor am I interested in defending the entire Obama Presidency. Maybe I haven’t made this clear, but I’m interesting in talking about the crisis in Ukraine. You’re interesting in ranting about “leftists”. That’s no surprise – you can pretty much exchange any comment of yours with any other, regardless of the actual subject matter of the post, because they’re all same rant. I hope they make you feel better. This level of anger is not healthy.
@Tom:
Spin spin, round we go, where we stop nobody knows! What a bunch of crap and then you end by declaring your opposition “angry.” Typical leftist obfuscation.
I, for one, am truly disgusted but you have not begun to see or hear my anger. So I cannot speak my piece without becoming one of the angry right wing conspiracy? Where is your rebuttal to anything of historical perspective except to say that maybe Barry was too busy with other shit to attend a Security briefing on the Ukraine situation? Man, what a load! The President of the United States too busy to attend a Security meeting on naked aggression being committed against a free people by another tyrant? Well, I guess that is ok when that tyrant is really just one of your buddies and the world goal it the demise of democracies everywhere and the end of freedom because we all know how much better socialism is for everyone? Or rather those who think themselves “elites” know what is better for the rest of us.
Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis (literally: “Thus always I eradicate tyrants’ lives”), or “death to tyrants” or “down with the tyrant.”
@aguila2011:
Leftist. How original.
Be as angry as you want to be. Don’t wait for reasons – they’ll catch up eventually. I’m very angry Obama broke a treaty. Not true? Strike that. I’m very angry Obama missed a meeting.
@Pete: #71
Saying it that way makes it sound as if Obama has ‘accomplished/completed’ something. Well, he’s not that good. Just an utter failure, one day he’ll complete it.
@Tom:
Your mirror isn’t working?
@Tom: Bill said, and you quoted:
.
And then you provided this obviously brilliant, thought out response:
So Bill asked about the UN and you answered about the memorandum? Not only is your mirror not working, you might try engaging your two brain cells (I didn’t overcount, did I?)
@Tom:
Not only do you not have the time, you don’t have the ability. Talking about the crisis in Ukraine only takes two words’ Obama surrendered’. Zippity do dah.
Saw this on a news site:
Yes, I heard that Putin told him to just leave his marbles and go home. He did.

@Tom:
So you don’t like “leftist?” How about “commie,” or “liberal,” or “retarded,” or “stupid,” … should I go on? But I know your “How original” comment is just baiting for a response. And as for any anger, it will be released at the appropriate time and place and in a manner that will have maximum effect. As Chrissie Hynde sang “I want to die for something, don’t want to die for nothing” and I will fight to the death for my freedom unlike the masses who think the government will protect them. Bring it.
http://www.songlyrics.com/pretenders/revolution-lyrics/
@Redteam:
Never mind Redteam. Tom just said it. He wants to talk about the crisis which is what our leadership is so good at doing … mental masturbation. All while their goals are being fulfilled. Next to the greatest lie ever told, the Devil convincing the world he didn’t exist, was the fallacy that communism died when the Soviet Union collapsed. It didn’t. And now the old vestiges, left overs, wannabes like Putin dream of glory days ahead. And their minion is Barry and the rat infested government with liberals/communists that needs a serious cleansing. But I also include the Republican party because they are infested with the same mental illness and have lost sight of what freedom means and what it takes to preserve it. Too bad that as history shows over and over again, people appreciate things only after they have lost them.
Too bad we can’t export some “self esteem” training to the Chinese, the Russians and the Muslims who wish to rise to prior glories and feel slighted that an upstart Republic like America has risen to dominance in a scant slice of historical time. Oh, their efforts, the blood they have shed over centuries, millinneum only to be outdone by a free people whom they consider their inferiors. Cry me a river! I’m listening right now to Natalie Cole singing “Cry me a river.” How fitting a title. Like I give a rats ass about these small minded people who only want power and glory for themselves and to hell with anyone who gets in their way.
So Tom, go ahead and debate the crisis in the Ukraine. Say something constructive about your dear leader even though you excuse his absence from key meetings. I guess maybe he had a tee time he just couldn’t afford to miss. He might have to deal with, you know, those ugly little details that give people headaches. Punk.
@Tom:
Of course you aren’t interested in defending Obama’s presidency, because you can’t. And isn’t a rant against leftists, nor off topic to point out that the crisis in the Ukraine has occured precisely because the left is and was willfully blind to the nature of Putin’s policy goals. The despicable irony is that this very scenario was warned against back in 2008 by Palin yet you leftists persist in your war on a woman who was far more prescient about the situation – 6 years ago – than Obama is now while it occurs.
Yet you will deride anyone who points out this complete foreign policy failure with the worthlessly pithy comment on anger, completely ignoring in typical leftist fashion relevant facts.
aguila2011
i think i have a great idea here,
CANADA IS WORRY ABOUT RUSSIA TAKING A HOLD IN THE ARTIC,
why not talk of a strategy with CANADA to get the bums out together,
that is closer than UKRAINE AND WOULD REALLY HURT
VLADIMIR PUTIN’S FEELING
@aguila2011:
He can’t do that. There is nothing constructive about him. He is as total a flop as is possible. He is a totally manufactured puppet, he only jumps when someone pulls his strings. He’s barely passable at reading from a teleprompter. The bad part, we don’t have ANY politicians in Washington that give a damn.
This man breaks laws EVERY day, and those that can do something sit on their hands looking at their personal bank accounts and wonder what they can do to make the balance go up. No one cares about law and order.
