The Associated Press and Reuters | Mar. 1, 2014 | 3:55 PM Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked the upper house of parliament to approve sending armed forces to Ukraineâs Crimea region, the Kremlin said in a statement on Saturday. âIn connection with the extraordinary situation in Ukraine, the threat to the lives of citizens of the Russian Federation, our compatriots, and the personnel of the armed forces of the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory (in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea) ... I submit a proposal on using the armed forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine until the normalisation of the socio-political situation in the that country,â the statement said. http://www.haaretz.com/news/world/1.577243 Obama warned Putin just yesterday....
This is what happens when a bully sees weakness in your countries leader. The world gets more dangerous. Drawing unnecessary lines and then quivering when the other side crosses them. Every thinking general and thinking business man or lawyer in court understands that you have to pick your hill to die on... so choose wisely. Iran, Syria, Putin... have shown the anti gravitas of Obama and his team. I have always wondered how the end of the world scenarios were going to form up after the breakup of the soviet union. I never thought the West would be so weak as to allow Russia to have a dictator and then let that dictator re constitute the Soviet Union. But,I never imagined the U.S. foreign policy would be so weak and so wrong in so many ways.
It's totally Putin playing for the world stage. He's never needed (or gotten) parliamentary approval before, and he didn't need it now. He's making a statement.
Yes. And did you know he (Putin) was into martial arts? Onazi is into taking away OUR freedom while wearing his pussy-ass bicycle helmet at Camp David....Yes, we're screwed as a THUG like Putin throws Onazi around like a rag doll. President Reagan is flipping shitty in his grave over this "line in the sand" Opussy has drawn. Btw, Onazi is cutting our military by a SICKENING 40%. Don't think for a second this wasn't done for a pay-back reason... What's that movie called with the now-passed Patrick Swayze where the communists invaded America? Lol Oh yes, it's no longer a Hollywood movie. It's come here via Onazi, and his SICK idealology, and pussification of what USED TO BE the most feared, and respected, but prosperous Country on the globe. God bless America...
So Putin wants to invade Ukraine because Obama is President of the US . . .is that it? you are an idiot. Clubber.
Don't respond clubber. This loon is a HS kid who couldn't get laid on a troop train with a fist full of dollars.
