Democrats mocked vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin during the 2008 election for her warnings about some of the dire possibilities if Barack Obama was elected president. But she was right when she spoke at a rally in Findlay Ohio, where she said then-Senator Obama’s indecision and moral equivalence would encourage Russian president Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine. She said:
After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama’s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia’s Putin to invade Ukraine next.
Recent events show how right Palin’s prediction was, as Russia prepares to send troops into Ukraine
[Editor of Politico magazine] Hounshell wrote then that Palin’s comments were “strange” and “this is an extremely far-fetched scenario.”“And given how Russia has been able to unsettle Ukraine’s pro-Western government without firing a shot, I don’t see why violence would be necessary to bring Kiev to heel,” Hounshell dismissively wrote.
Palin made her remarks on the stump after Obama’s running mate Joe Biden warned Obama supporters to “gird your loins” if Obama is elected because international leaders may test or try to take advantage of him.

Sarah who? ????? Never heard of her before
Trillions of our Tax dollars are being used to murder civilians in Africa and the Middle East. Our current Senate, House, and Obama want drones flying over our cities costing us more money and causing collateral damage here , just as they are causing in Obama’s stupid War on Terror. No Incumbents.
Fire Obama and Biden and Eric Holder.
Vote them out. They gave us the horrible War on Terror and then gave us the Obamacare monster and gave it to the corrupt monster in the IRS. No Incumbents. They have not fired Obama
Wait, do you think the “war on terror” started in 2008?
GOOD CALL SARAH. REGARDS, DAN
Oh please. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Which would give it a better track record than this dimwit. Was Obama the reason Russia has been bullying that entire region, including the Ukraine ,for a few hundred or so years? Or maybe you’d rather just ignore things like historically documented tension and conflict that don’t fit your ridiculous narratives.
Here is a list of US presidents that Russia thought were weak according to this proposterous idea: All of them.
Kind of like how she pointed a finger at Obama preemptivly blaming him for future conflicts related to violent struggles that have been going on for generations?
