Yes. Its hard to take another position when I support Taiwan. However, I dont think its going to stop with Crimea. Putin has big plans beyond Crimea now that they laughed their asses off at King Barry.

Obama has nothing to do with this. Bush didn't do a damn thing when Putin invaded Georgia, and that was an actual, killing-people invasion.

The costs are simply too high, unless Russia does something truly egregious like invade Ukraine proper (which would have the Poles screaming for intervention, as that'd mean Russian tanks on their borders once again).


And Bush isnt president anymore.

Instead its the PTA vs the KGB.

Really don't know why i'm bothering when it's obvious your opinions are set, but what, hypothetically, do you think Bush would have done in this situation? Or McCain, or Romney?

Sure, McCain would've talked tougher (and not being president hasn't stopped him from talking tough about this, and Georgia at the time, anyway), but none of them would do anything substantive to stop this, which has everything to do with Ukraine being out of our sphere of interest (at least now that they no longer have nukes) and nothing to do with comparative personalities.

I have no faith in this Bozo in office. his fictional red line in syria, he didnt even take the lead from kicking russia our of the g8. its embarassing when the french and germans have more balls in dealing with the bully putin. To bring up hypotheticals with mccain and whatever bush did or didnt do over 5 years ago means nothing in the now.
