As events develop surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Obama appears bewildered. Russian President Vladimir Putin sparked what is the strongest tension between western nations and Moscow since the cold war when he declared he had the right to invade. The situation is not far off Sarah Palin’s 2008 predictions of possible consequences of electing Obama to the presidency.
President Barack Obama is a little dazed and confused. It took US President Barack Obama 90 minutes of intense dialogue with the Russian President Vladimir Putin to grasp that Putin is unshakably fixed on the course he has set for Ukraine and has no intention of withdrawing the Russian troops he has positioned in the Crimean peninsula.
In fact, behind the diplomatic verbiage, Russian President Putin was clearly on the offensive. He let it be understood that unless the US and Europe rid Kiev of the “fascist gangs,” which had taken over, Moscow would move forces into additional parts of Ukraine to uphold its interests and “protect the Russian citizens and compatriots living there” for as long as the interim regime remained in Kiev.
After all, Putin did stand alone at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Winter Games – unattended by a single Western leader. After that experience, he is not afraid to stand alone on Ukraine as well, regardless of US and EU efforts to force him to abandon what he views as an imminent strategic threat on Russia’s doorstep.

Obama is getting just what he ask for. As soon as the $#%&!@* hits the fan, where do you think hes gonna be? In his underground bunkers, hiding like the $#%&!@*less basturd he is, while we (Americans) are left to fight this battle WITHOUT OUR GUNS. Do you see any other country taking their weapons away from its citizens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s not gonna happen! Wait for it!!
It seems lost on many of you that Putin is in a weaker position than he was two years ago. Syria, one of the few remaining client states is slipping and the Ukraine is already gone. The Crimea will prove far more costly a prize than Putin thought, and the fact that he was forced to take this action was already a major defeat.
Putin is trying to put the old Soviet Union back together. Obama should stay out of affairs that do not affect us.
Well, I have to agree with someone’s assessment above; Obama is a ‘Humongous $#%&!@*’ and Vladimir Putin was a General in the old KGB. Russia elected a Man; we elected a… Well, never mind (we got what we deserved)!
West is a felon he was tossed from iraq and narrowly avoided prison RGO
I am thinking it’s part of the plan .I think he will go play gulf and take a vacation
Picture says it all !!
Lets fight them like President Bush .. First.. let’s give a 3 trillion dollar tax cut to the top 20% … it is always important that RIGHT BEFORE you start a fight .. you slash government revenues… Second .. lets increase the defense budget by 50% .. an additional 300-350 billion a year in new spending .. We can just let President Obama put it on a credit card like President Bush did .. only .. now then .. third .. Let’s have President Obama order the sec. of def to start handing out no bid contracts to defense contractors .. and lets fight russia!!!!!
Jeffery that is what mountain bikes look like.
