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.

She is awesome
They tried to beat her down from the start.. Media and such.. It was so terrible for her and her family to be put on display but of course they new what they were doing.. because Americans love to point their fingers at others… without first taking care of their own business.
IT’s a good thing she had a do nothing congress who refused to vote for ANYTHING that would help the economy .. they vetoed infrastructure spending as the nation’s infrastructure is falling down… vetoed ANY jobs bill that would put people back to work and increase the tax base, take people off of food stanps .. ya .. a really brilliant prediction …. just wait for a republican president that gets 500 filibusters when they try to get anything done… paybacks will be a btich
Yep,this is my girl,you go Sarah I love you and stand with you.
Can Sarah Palin beat Hillary??? Just thinking out loud again.
She’s been very underrated… Mamma bear !! Go Sarah….
Sarah’s heart is in the right place… She’s much stronger than Obama and the hens in congress. I don’t agree with everything, she sure comes close. I could see her with six guns in the White House.
She’s a Smart Woman I’ll vote for Her No Questions Asked.Better her than Hilliary Clinton.
don’t like her but she has said some right things in her day
she’s part of the system. they all know what the plan is, so it wasn’t a prediction it was a confession.
