correct.
The government of crimea invited the russians.
I am just going to guess that russia will spend a lot less money in the ukraine and there will be a lot fewer people killed there than in the usa's misadventure in iraq.
I will also predict that russia will accomplish a lot more in the ukraine than the usa has in iraq.
Does anyone want to argue any of these points?
Kerry condemns Russia's 'incredible act of aggression' in Ukraine | Reuters
"You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pre-text," Kerry told the CBS program
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Crying from Kerry-he's a chump because Obama is a chump-meaningPutins actions will be met with useless words.
Wrong.
Putin's actions actions were preceded by useless words.
Which didn't slow him down.
So far reality has trumped bull****.
When you speak softly and have already told everyone you aren't going to use your big stick-whats left?Do you expect Obama to suddenly get tough?
What would the USA gain by going to war with Russia over the Ukraine?

No gains. Only more unnecessary deaths of U.S. Citizens. More unnecessary loss of treasure. More debt. More negative global opinions about the U.S. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
Now if Obama and Putin wanna square off and duke it out on TV...I'd watch.

Wait a minute now....Dick Durbin has called Putin a bully. Obama took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and spent 90 minutes on the phone with Putin begging him to withdraw. Rumor has it that the State Department is drafting a stern letter of warning as we speak.
I'm also wondering why the right-wingers think we should attack Russia.
Kerry is a joke and symbol of cowardice and incompetency.
Are you really under the impression that words were going to change Russia's mind regarding a major strategic asset? Do you people really think such decisions are affected by this high-school level tough-guy bull****?
Maybe that's the problem. Conservatives just never emotionally graduated from high school.
Thats not the point. The point is that a weak leader who can be read like an open book opens a power vacuum that will be filled with less savory characters like China and Russia. It used to be that when POTUS spoke, nations listened-now they just ignore the US.
Hence the Hungary invasion, Czechoslovakia, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Chechnya, Georgia, Tibet, whatever.
Give it up. The global supremacy of the USA President exists mostly in your dreams.
Reagan did kick ass in Grenada, though.
You are referring to Soviet satellite states. This is different-the Soviet union is no more and Russia while the big boy on its block, is no USSR.
Korea, Vietnam, Tibet, Georgia, Bosnia? Soviet satellites?
The US as a global power has always been a matter of potential, never a matter of fact.

Obama would lose.
Words with the ability to back them up are what matter in international diplomacy. With obama's soft talk and already-announced unwillingness to back anything up-whats left?
Its amazing how slow the left is in learning these lessons that are demonstrated over and over again.
Ahh, so what action do you think we should take? Attack Russia?
Yet GOP Senators and House members sent out mixed signals all weekend, further undercutting Mr. Obama's position, as they did with Syria.The US should lead the opposition to this act of war (yes, invading a sovereign nation and its territorial integrity is considered an act of war) with economic and diplomatic sanctions against Russia.

Rep. Rogers wants to take the Navy off the table and not send them to the Black Sea.
Sen. Rubio wants air strikes off the table.
Putin sees ten GOP Chiefs and one little Obama Indian with GOP undermining .
