I only hope the US is not so stupid as to send troops to the Ukraine if Russia intervenes. Unfortunately the present US Administration is of such low quality that anything is possible.
Thank You Very MUCH for your post, Endovelico....
Americans can't be seen to lose face against Russia,
IMHO not so much......
Because that Arrogant Globalist INCOMPETENT Lazy LYING Son of a Bitch Eating Socialist Statist Traitor Darth obama really doesn't have any face to lose....
obama has already discredited him self with his LYING & Redlining etc....
So obama may to a degree save the Talented Mr. Putin, President Prince Vlad the Imprisoner of Russia from himself if Kmich's article is correct....
Speaking for myself and I believe other Americans of varying political persuasion, I believe America has little enthusiasm for intervening in the Ukraine* with that Arrogant Globalist INCOMPETENT Lazy LYING Son of a Bitch Eating Socialist Statist Traitor Darth obama who seem to have a dung touch unless it involves electioneering or golfing or other vacationing....
Even DemocRATs like Diane Feinstein are getting sick of the Arrogant Globalist INCOMPETENT Lazy LYING Son of a Bitch Eating Socialist Statist Traitor Darth obama ....
Note that Kmich's article said likely no intervention.....
They are pushing Russia towards intervening militarily in the Ukraine,
Hello!
Kmich's article said that it is Russian nationalists who are pushing the Talented Mr. Putin toward intervention...
IIRC Alexis posted a video link which likely was made by/for Putin telling the Rabid Russian Nationalists to back off on pressuring him to invade the Ukraine unless they are willing to enlist and put their Bare Bear Behinds on the front lines.... Trouble is, I suspect some of them are willing to do that...
I only hope the US is not so stupid as to send troops to the Ukraine if Russia intervenes.
I agree.....
Especially with that Arrogant Globalist INCOMPETENT Lazy LYING Son of a Bitch Eating Socialist Statist Traitor Darth obama in charge....
Likewise that Uncaring Incompetent Even With An Easy Button "What Difference Does it Make" Giggling About Getting Rapists Off Careless B!tch Hillary Clinton and her wife
Bill who missed so many shots at killing Bin Ladin when President
Unfortunately the present US Administration is of such low quality that anything is possible.
Seconded......
That said, I wonder how you would feel if the plane had been Portuguese and you had family members on it....
If the plane had been American & likewise I might
be tempted to be more militant on the subject...
But maybe not....
This has happened before..... KAL007.....
Having Nukes usually means Never Having to Say You're Sorry and mean it....
And Russia has nukes
Not the Ukes....
*other than maybe with some sanctions and non lethal aid to the Ukes and even that is predicated on them not being the Killer Klowns who shot down that stupidly piloted air liner
For the love of G_d, consider you & I may be mistaken.
