El Zar Hijo de Putin se ha defecado en el presidente de los Estados
Unidos y su Secretario de Estado. ¡CANDELA!
CRIMEA DECLARES INDEPENDENCE FROM UKRAINE
With a good 60,000 Russian troops massed on the
border, and no effective way to vote in favor remaining part of Ukraine, the
Crimean independence referendum went about as expected, with almost 97
percent voting in favor of annexation into Russia. Just about everyone
else in the world declared the vote illegal, with the forlorn exception of
China, which abstained from the relevant U.N. Security Council vote.
It’s notable that China couldn’t quite bring itself to endorse what
Vladimir Putin is up to in Crimea. (Everyone else on the Security
Council voted to condemn the referendum, but then Russia vetoed the motion.)
So Russia
is now supposedly “isolated,” whatever that means, while the Crimean
Parliament formally declared independence from Ukraine on Monday morning, and
promptly set about nationalizing all Ukrainian property that happened to fall
on the wrong side of the new borders. Fox News reports Crimean representatives are off
to Moscow to hammer out the details of annexation, with Russian officials
saying annexation “is just a matter of time,” perhaps only a few days or
weeks.
Russians in Crimea called the new Ukrainian
government a bunch of “unprincipled clowns.” Ethnic Tartars in Crimean
called the independence referendum “a clown show, a circus.” All these
clowns, and yet nobody’s laughing. Ukrainian ships are trapped in
Crimean waters by Russian naval forces. Ukrainian troops in Crimea are
besieged in their bases, facing renewed calls to surrender.
Ukrainians and Tartars stuck below decks in Crimea
as it sets sail for Russian hegemony anticipate rough seas ahead:
Ethnic
Ukrainians interviewed outside the Ukrainian Orthodox cathedral of Vladimir
and Olga said they refused to take part in the referendum, calling it an
illegal charade stage-managed by Moscow. Some said they were scared of the
potential for widespread discrimination and harassment in the coming weeks,
similar to what happened in parts of nearby Georgia, another former Soviet
republic, after its 2008 war with Russia.
“We’re
just not going to play these separatist games,” said Yevgen Sukhodolsky, a
41-year-old prosecutor from Saki, a town outside Simferopol. “Putin is the
fascist. The Russian government is fascist.”
Vasyl
Ovcharuk, a retired gas pipe layer who worked at Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear
disaster in 1986, predicted dark days ahead for Crimea.
“This
will end up in military action, in which peaceful people will suffer. And
that means everybody. Shells and bullets are blind,” he said.
There are
looming fears throughout the rest of Ukraine that Russia isn’t finished
devouring them yet. Over the weekend, a small detachment of Russian
troops actually ventured beyond Crimea, into Ukrainian territory, to seize control of a natural gas facility, for the
stated purpose of ensuring the continued flow of gas into independent Crimea.
The Russians have been muttering darkly about the need to move forces
into eastern Ukraine to “protect” ethnic Russians from potential oppression.
At least one city in eastern Ukraine, Donetsk, has seen demonstrations
calling for secession from Ukraine and alignment with Russia.
The European Union is preparing for a round of
sanctions against Russia, with talk of freezing assets and denying visas for
certain Russian officials. Evidently they’re hesitating just long
enough to give Putin an opportunity to “de-escalate” the situation, but there
have been no signs he plans to back down.
On the
contrary, this diplomatic and economic “isolation” might be just what Putin
wanted. Russia was trying to put together a “Eurasian Union” to counter
the European Union before the Ukrainian crisis began; their man in Kiev,
Viktor Yanukovych, was supposed to make Ukraine part of that equation, but
his sticky fingers got him deposed. (One pictures Putin on the phone
with him, snarling “You had one
job, Viktor Yanukovych….”) EU sanctions might sting
Russia a bit, but they’ll also hurt the Europeans, and they might help to
jump-start that Eurasian Union project.
And if
Russia can stare down the U.S. and European Union, pushing them back from
harsh sanctions, so much the better for Putin. There have already been
rumblings that Russia might abandon the dollar and tear up loan papers from
American banks. No less an authority than George Soros – a man who
knows a few things about ruining economies for fun and profit – warns that the
European Union might fall apart, if it plays its cards wrong against Russia.
Putin’s adventures in eastern Ukraine have
consolidated his grip on Russia, bringing his popularity ratings to soaring
heights, while his adversaries – notably President Barack Obama – plummet to
all-time low ratings with their own electorates. Lost in all the
speculation about what might happen next is that Putin has already
accomplished an extremely important objective: containing the Euromaidan
movement that led to the ouster of Yanukovych. Russia itself seems to
have been effectively inoculated against the spread of such protests – that’s
one of the reasons Russia’s state-dominated media have been screaming that
the Ukrainian demonstrators are “fascists” – and anyone else in the old
Soviet orbit is going to think twice about getting cozy with the European
Union.
If the United States and European Union pull the
trigger on tough sanctions and begin an economic conflict, they’ll finally be
playing the same game as Putin… but they’ll be sitting across the table from
a global adversary who doesn’t seem worried about losing. After all,
ideological blindness in the Obama Administration already let him make a
dozen strategic moves before his opponents understood they were his
opponents.
Update: “Smart power” alert, as America’s U.N.
ambassador Samantha Power accosts Russia’s Vitaly Churkin and tells him Crimea is still legally
Ukrainian territory, while Churkin’s aides laugh at her:
Update: The UK Daily Mail reports
that Ukraine is mobilizing its army and calling up reserves for a possible
armed confrontation with Russia. They’re outnumbered at least 3 to 1 by
active Russian forces poised to invade, and 6 to 1 by the total strength of
the Russian military, but they can at least make it clear that further
Russian incursions into Ukraine will result in war.
Meanwhile, the head of Russia’s state-run news
agency went on the air to inform the United States that “we can turn you to
ash,” in case the American government has any ideas about intervening in
Ukraine. Just in case anyone misses the fine nuances of this threat,
there was a picture of a mushroom cloud on the screen behind him.
Update: Having evidently concluded that the
mere threat of
sanctions wasn’t adjusting Russia’s attitude, both the U.S. and European
Union announced sanctions on Monday morning. The EU is imposing travel bans and asset freezes on 21 Russian and Ukrainian officials.
The United States followed suit, targeting “several officials in
President Vladimir V. Putin’s inner circle” according to the New York Times, along with deposed Ukrainian president
Viktor Yanukovych, but not Putin himself.
Exclusive: U.S. Sanctions
Actually Target Putin’s Domestic Rivals.
While the move was sold as a clear message
to Russian officials responsible for the current Ukraine crisis, the end
result seems to bear little resemblance to that goal...
In a statement Monday,
Obama said the U.S. would not recognize the referendum. He went on to blame a
number of officials within the Russian government for the development.
“We are imposing sanctions on specific
individuals for undermining the sovereignty, territorial integrity and
government of Ukraine,” he asserted. “We are making it clear that there are
consequences for their actions.”
The White House – along with numerous
media outlets – is touting the sanctions as a direct response to Russian
President Vladimir Putin. While Putin is not named directly in Obama’s
reaction, a White House statement indicates the U.S. will “seek to hold
accountable individuals who use their resources or influence to support or
act on behalf of senior Russian government officials.”
One senior White House advisor, however,
questioned Obama’s selection, suggesting the seven Russian officials facing
sanctions are not Putin allies at all. The source, who requested anonymity in
discussing the developing story, offered a background for each of the
individuals targeted by the White House.
Sergey Glazyev reportedly mounted a
presidential campaign against Putin in 2004 and has been excluded from the
inner workings of the Russian government since. Another target of sanctions,
Vladislav Surkov, reportedly resigned from the Putin regime last year
following accusations that he would not enforce the Russian president’s
policies.
A third official, Deputy Prime Minister
Dmitiry Rogozin, is reportedly being blamed for bungling Russia’s advancement
in the region by backing recently ousted Ukrainian President Viktor
Yanukovych. By defying Putin’s wishes, the source claims, Rogozin has been
ostracized by Russian leadership.
Former Russian President Dmitri
Medvedev, who currently serves as the nation’s prime minister, did consider
some of the targets to be close confidants. Putin apparently feels differently.
According to the White House source, Leonid Slutsky and Valentina Matviyenko
both held positions of power in Russia until they fell out of favor with
Putin. Furthermore, Andrei Klishas is reportedly feuding with a Putin ally.
The final Russian official facing U.S.
sanctions, Yelena Mizulina, likely made it on the list due to her anti-gay
policy positions rather than any connection to Ukraine policy.
While the move was sold as a clear
message to Russian officials responsible for the current Ukraine crisis, the
end result seems to bear little resemblance to that goal. Instead, Obama
seems to have targeted individuals Putin himself would have approved. As a
result, the U.S. action has had little noticeable effect on Russia’s economy
as of this writing. In fact, the Russian market rose today on the news of
these weak sanctions.
U.S. allies in the European Union have
similarly refused to acknowledge the recent Crimean vote to secede from
Ukraine. It remains to be seen whether the EU’s sanctions, which are expected
to be announced Tuesday, will have any legitimate effect on Russian
leadership.

“En
mi opinión” La Guerra de los degenerados
contra las personas decentes en Venezuela ya lleva más de un mes y los
asesinatos por parte del Dictador impuesto a Venezuela “El chofer de guagua
nicolás podrido”, se encarga ofender y masacrar a lo que más vale de la tierra
de Bolívar, los valientes estudiantes que han sacado la cara por toda Venezuela
y han puesto su sangre, sus vidas y el luto y el inmenso dolor de sus padres,
hermanos y amigos que los lloran con rabia, por la cobardía y el abuso de un
régimen despótico impuesto por la fuerza de los canallas venezolanos y
castristas que se han apoderado del poder absoluto. Un régimen dictatorial que
ha demostrado hasta la saciedad su ilegalidad
y sobre todo su suprema
incapacidad de administrar y gobernar al noble pueblo Venezolano. La pestilente morralla cubana apoya al “iletrado
guagüero mequetrefe y asesino” para que le siga llegando el petróleo venezolano
y el dinero de los venezolanos que les roban los ilegales desgovernantes de
Cuba que se pudre en la inopia total.
Llego
la hora de los hornos y no se ha de ver más que la luz, decía Jose Marti. Si
los venezolanos no asumen una posición de guerra sin cuartel contra el gobierno
traidor y contra las tropas de ocupación de los degenerados castristas, nunca
van a poder izar la bandera venezolana con Honor y libertad.
Los
Venezolanos Tienen que responder al fuego con fuego, a las balas con balas, no
tienen balas y armas pues se las tienen que quitar a los que las tienen, se las tienen que arrebatar a los esbirros de
“podrido” y los tiranos abusadores y asesinos que están a su lado. La estrategia es darle a los degenerados lo
mismo que los degenerados les dan a ustedes. PLOMO.
“Con los asesinos no se dialoga, a los asesinos hay que eliminarlos
para siempre” El que quiere dialogo con los asesinos, seguro que es un traidor.
Ya
más de 30 hijos de Venezuela están al lado del creador. Pero hasta ahora muy
pocos hijos de perra han muerto. Se debe equilibrar la balanza y empezar a que
las matemáticas fúnebres entre a las filas de los traidores a Venezuela.
Ponganle
en la frente el letrero de traídos a todo el que hable de dialogo. Todos los
que hablen de dialogo con los degenerados, son tan degenerados y traidores como
podrido y todos los que apoyan al “podrido” El que venga a hablar de paz en
nuestro campo de batalla es un traídos. “ES UN TRAIDOR” la paz hay que
pregonarla en el campo de los enemigos no en el nuestro. Y “En mi opinión” ya
tienen, por segunda vez a un
traidorzuelo que quiere traicionar por segunda vez a Venezuela, parece que no
le alcanzo lo que hizo durante las elecciones ARREVATAR LA VICTORIA LEGITIMA
sin pelear como un hombre, de pelear de un candidato que SI FUE ELECTO Se está dejando guiar (O pagar) por el podrido, por homosexualidad o por
cobardía pero lo hizo y lo está haciendo.
Ningun tirano se ha rendido por las buenas a un pueblo que tiene la
razón, nunca los canallas han vacilado en masacrar al pueblo para conservar el
poder. El señor Capriles no me merece ninguna confianza y NO CREO EN EL. No le
llega ni a la chancleta de María Corina Machado ni a Leopoldo, que está siendo
torturado en las cárceles de podrido. Hasta cuándo van a esperar para hacer
justicia y darle el poder al pueblo venezolano. No se confundan estos son los
verdaderos LLIDERES DE LOS VENEZOLANOS LOS OTROS SON SOLO “PAPITY”
“Plomo
tú quieres pues plomo te vamos a dar”
¿Podrido
tu no vas a entregar el poder en paz?
Pues
vas a tener que entregarlo al pueblo Venezolano por la fuerza.
Ese
es el lema, esta es la consigna y a
ponerlo en práctica.
Y a
los cubanos decentes y anticomunistas en Cuba les digo esta es la oportunidad
de empezar a hacer lo mismo que están haciendo los venezolanos, a apoderarse de
las calles y a decirle al homosexual en jefe raúl y a su mentor el embalsamado
en jefe que YA SE ACABO ha llegado el momento de barrer la porqueria de
Venezuela pero que también de Cuba. Cuba
sin Venezuela no puede existir. Los Castros le están chupando la sangre a los
venezolanos para poder sobrevivir ellos.
Si
los Cubanos no aprovechan este momento de debilidad de los Cubanos por el
descalabro de Venezuela no tendrán otra oportunidad de regresar a la libertad y
la democracia.
La
libertad del pueblo venezolano esta unida a la Libertad de Cuba.
Si
derrotan a los Cubanos en Venezuela se van a tenrer que ir con Putin a Rusia.

The Western Center for Journalism: "We Must Have The Support Of The American People
In Order To Have Impeachment." -Rep.
Michele Bachmann
No matter what you may NOT hear from the lame-stream media, the sad and unfortunate truth is that Michele Bachmann just hit the nail on the head... the ONLY thing prohibiting Congress from REMOVING Barack Obama TODAY is THEIR delusion that YOU WON'T SUPPORT IT.
If you're frustrated that Congress is not moving aggressively enough to remove Barack Obama, you can make it happen right now.
And don't just take our word for it. Take Bachmann's word for it. If you really want Barack Obama GONE... there's only one way to make him go... direct action.
Congress must receive a flood of faxes and calls and this time around,we're not just taking our demands to the so-called GOP Leadership but to Members of the House and Senate who are bona-fide Tea Party Members.
You'll Never Guess Who Else Is Calling For Obama's Impeachment. What The Media Isn't Telling You.
"Never in my life did I ever believe that our country would be taken over by people, like the people who are running it at this day... I don't think that this man [Obama] will make it through his term. I THINK HE WILL BE IMPEACHED."
Hundreds of people broke into thunderous applause when movie actor Steven Segal uttered those heartfelt and spontaneous words during a dinner at the Western Conservative Conference (an event that we proudly co-sponsored).
And even though the liberal media was there in force, they didn't dare report it.
At the fourth annual Statesman of the Year dinner that was hosted by the Sarasota Florida GOP, a man in the audience yelled out to Senator Ted Cruz; "What does it take to impeach him?" When the massive applause finally died down, Cruz boldly stated: "It takes 218 votes in the House of Representatives."
And even though the liberal media was there in force , they didn't dare report it.
Former Congressman Tom Tancredo recently said: "The case for impeaching and removing President Obama grows stronger each week... His abuse of power has become so frequent and brazen that it is becoming recognized as the trademark of his presidency."
And again, even though the liberal media heard those words, they didn't dare report it.
Make no mistake, in spite of what you are not hearing, removing Barack Obama from the office he usurped is finally gaining major traction in Washington D.C. and the only thing that is prohibiting our elected officials from starting the ball rolling is a false impression that patriotic Americans, like you, will NOT support them if they remove him.
That's the reality of what we're facing but you can change that reality right now. If the vast majority of you who are reading this urgent alert take direct action right now, you will change that dynamic.
And Yes... The Democrats Also Know That Mr. Obama's Days May Be Numbered.
As a matter of fact, staving-off the growing movement to remove Barack Obama from office has become a major component of the Democrats' internal fundraising efforts.
After listing a number of GOP notables who have gone on record as"supporting" impeachment, a panic-stricken email sent out to Obama for America supporters by the DNC issued the following call to action:"Remember, if we win just 17 more seats, we'll take back the House, and put an end to this kind of asinine behavior."
It's no gimmick, Barack Obama and the Democrats are actually campaigning on impeachment but you don't know about it is because you're not on the DNC's mailing list.
You don't know about it because the lame-stream media will not dare report it, and you don't know about it because far too many establishment Republicans are desperately trying to convince you thatTHEY'RE POWERLESS WHEN IT COME TO REMOVING BARACK OBAMA FROM OFFICE.
They're not. Dr. Alan Keyes put it another way: "Quietly a tide is rising in favor of taking the necessary constitutional steps to remove the danger by impeaching and removing Obama and his cohorts from office. But since the GOP's leadership has been and is acting in collusion with Obama, they refuse to provide a rallying point for this sentiment."
And Keyes added: "Nothing stands in your way except the shackles of the mind that are, in the end, the most effective bonds of tyranny. ... The answer is in our own hands."
In other words, the only thing prohibiting Congress from REMOVINGBarack Obama today is YOU. Will you remove the "shackles of the mind that are... the most effective bonds of tyranny" and do what must be done today?
Is Dr. Keyes Right? Are Establishment Republicans Really In Collusion With Obama? Are They Actually Trying To Make You Believe That They Are Powerless When It Comes To Removing Barack Obama From Office?
The short answer is yes.
Case in point, at this very moment, the GOP is considering a measure that is allegedly meant to stem Barack Obama's dictatorial overreach of power.
The Washington Examiner reports that the Boehner-led House is considering a measure that "would allow the House to bring 'civil action' against the administration if it deems the executive branch is not enforcing the law."
Sounds tough, doesn't it? Of course there is one glaring problems with such a measure:
The Constitution already gives Congress the primary authority to curb the excesses of an out-of-control executive branch. Why punt that duty to the courts?
Are our elected officials trying to sound tough as they abdicateTHEIR responsibility to stop Barack Obama's abuses of power?
Well, we're not about to let them get away with it and the only way to let them know they can't get away with it is for thousands of patriotic Americans to flood their offices with calls and faxes and let them know, in no uncertain terms, that you won't let them get away with it.

Weekly
Address: ObamaCare Hurting Seniors Should Spur President to Act
In this week’s Republican
address, Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH)
calls on President Obama to help seniors who, because of his health care law,
are paying higher premiums and losing the doctors they like and need.
“This transcends politics,” Johnson says, noting bipartisan pressure on the
White House to do the right thing. “This is about keeping the promises we
make to the American people.”
CBS News: “GOP rep.: Obamacare disrupting
Medicare for seniors”
“If President Obama won't agree to scrap his health care reform law entirely, Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, said Saturday, the least he can do is provide targeted relief to senior citizens on Medicare Advantage who have watched their costs grow and their provider networks shrink under Obamacare.”
The Hill: "GOP to Obama: Don’t break
promises”
“In Saturday's GOP address, Rep. Bill Johnson (ROhio) said the proposed cuts would conflict with Obama's message that he does not want to get between people and their doctors. … Earlier this week, a group of 200 House members sent a letter to Obama calling on him to keep the rates flat because the cuts are ‘inconsistent with our healthcare policy goals’ of improving care for seniors. Fifty Democrats signed on to the letter. ‘This is about keeping the promises we make to the American people,’ Johnson said.”
Steubenville Herald Star: “Johnson gives GOP Saturday address”
“U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, RMarietta, who represents Eastern Ohio in the House of Representatives, delivered the Republican weekly radio address Saturday, saying Obamacare is devastating to senior citizens, restricting their access to their medical providers. Johnson singled out the impact on those enrolled in the Medicare Advantage program who are paying higher premiums. … Johnson said many people have lost access to their physicians and more will lose access unless Obama acts. … Johnson delivered a message out of his district, recounting talking with a group of local doctors who said changes are sending more patients to Cleveland or Pittsburgh to receive care from specialists.”
ABC News Radio: “GOP Weekly Address: Obamacare Means
'Thousands of Broken Promises'”
“In this week's Republican address, Rep. Bill Johnson of Ohio criticizes President's health care law for interfering with ‘people's relationships between them and their doctors.’ ‘Because of Obama Care, many seniors enrolled in the popular Medicare Advantage program are paying higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs,’ he says in the address. ‘Many are losing access to their physicians.’”
Newsmax: “Rep. Bill Johnson: Obamacare's
'Broken Promises' Hurt Seniors”
“Older Americans are bearing the brunt of President Obama's 'broken promises' on healthcare — paying more and getting less because of the Affordable Care Act, Ohio Rep. Bill Johnson charged Saturday in the GOP weekly address. … Johnson said more than 794,000 seniors in Ohio rely on Medicare Advantage, and that four years ago, Obama promised his signature healthcare law would protect their benefits — allowing them to hold onto their plans and their doctors.”
VOA News: “In
the Republican address, Congressman Bill Johnson from Ohio called on the
president to protect senior citizens who he says are losing their long-term
doctors because of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.”
The Washington Times: “In the weekly GOP address, Rep. Bill Johnson of Ohio said the law is having an adverse impact on older Americans. ‘Because of Obamacare, many seniors enrolled in the popular Medicare Advantage program are paying higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs,’ he said. ‘Many are losing access to their physicians. And many more will, unless the president takes action.’”
Associated Press: “In
the Republican address, Rep. Bill Johnson of Ohio says seniors deserve better
than what Obama’s health care is delivering. He says if Obama won’t
help Republicans repeal the law, Obama should at least protect seniors.”
An Even Uglier KGB is Back From
Oblivion… It sure looks like Vladimir Putin is
the winner and Barack Obama is the loser in the latest skirmish between the
United States and Russia.
Over the weekend, Putin organized a hasty vote and effectively annexed Crimea into Mother Russia. He's now reasserted the Russian Empire's power, and all of the nation states surrounding Russia are surely feeling the cold breeze blowing in from the Siberian Steppes. Amazingly, the Crimeans who voted to rejoin Russia are the same people who voted 25 years ago to leave the Soviet Union. The difference is that, in those days, they could rely on U.S. leaders to keep their word. Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons in exchange for a guarantee from Britain, the United States and Russia to protect their now-evaporating borders. But if the United States isn't prepared to live up to its treaties, it shouldn't sign them. Our word should be inviolate. Since the Russian invasion took place, the United States has blustered a lot... but the only concrete steps it's taken include a few naval exercises in the Black Sea and the delivery of military pre-prepared meals. We sent Stalin better goodies when he was fighting Hitler. Meanwhile, if I was living in Lithuania, Latvia, or Estonia, I would be figuring out how to emigrate. The KGB masters are back, and they're as ugly as ever.
Could Weakness Lead to War?
This should surprise nobody who has
been watching. Yet the three blind mice of American foreign policy - Barack
Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry - were foolish enough to try to
"reset" relations with this aggressive rogue state.
Back on April 16, 2008, then-Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced that Russia was going to recognize the breakaway states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. These were provinces of the sovereign country of Georgia, just across the water and to the east of Crimea. George W. Bush was president when Georgia was invaded, and the invasion became an issue in the campaign. Sarah Palin said at the time, "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." She was unmercifully mocked by the Obama-loving press at the time, yet today the words ring as an early warning against Obama's feckless foreign policy. And now, the problem we face is practically unsolvable. Obama has relentlessly chopped down the military budget. We're spending less as a percentage of our GDP on defense than at any other time since WWII. Our Army is being shrunk to pre-WWII levels. Our nuclear deterrence has been practically eliminated. And on top of that, our leadership has been much too weak when repeatedly presented with Putin's aggressions. Obama needs to expose Putin, not allow him to lie at will and say he's invading to protect Russians from the fascist in Kiev. Putin doesn't even protect the Russians living in Russia. The Russian state has degenerated into a criminal enterprise. The KGB thugs and Putin's buddies have fleeced the country, stealing everything that isn't nailed down. By some accounts, Putin is the richest man on the globe, with billions in foreign bank accounts, while the people of Russia mostly live in grinding poverty. Not to mention that the Russians living in Ukraine are the descendants of Russian families forced to move by the Communists. The Ukrainian population would be much larger if it wasn't for the mass starvation brought on by the Communist regime, or if Stalin hadn't exiled millions of Ukrainians to Siberia. At this point, the United States has virtually no military options in Ukraine, and it's sad to see our defense capabilities degenerate to those of an also-ran. The entire theory of deterrence is to muster enough power that the bully doesn't want to mess with you. Instead, our president can't even deter Kim Jong-un, much less Vladimir Putin. Time to go back to the drawing board... before Obama's weakness gets us in World War III. Your eyes on the Hill, Floyd Brown |
