Obama tried to get us involved in Syria, I hope he backs out of Ukraine.
There is going to be an explosion of wrath in Ukraine. When they see their pay cut but by as much as 30 per cent and 18 per cent inflation, pensions cut by half and energy costs rise by 50 per cent.
This is just the start of what the EU is demanding in return the 14 bn bail out.
What a mess again, what a MESS. Obama, who I have not hated as Americans do, is making my blood BOIL with his anti Russian rhetoric.
Putin by comparison is a model of restraint
It's just rhetoric. It's part of the political game. Everyone knows it, including Putin. Sanctions are the west's only weapon in this case, and it's just a question of if and how strongly the west will and can apply them, in response to whatever Putin does. Putin's calm because he's the aggressor. The time-table and goal are his to know, while Obama can only react in response to each new act of aggression.There is going to be an explosion of wrath in Ukraine.

I believe the west has miscalculated horribly, they did not expect that the neo nazi thugs they funded and supported and sent in to fire bomb the late government of Ukraine out of power would themselves seize power.
I admit it is only my opinion.
But if I am right my friends then they have a hook in the noses of Nato and the EU and because they are mad dogs they are going to pull on it. WHY? because they KNOW they were funded and supported by Nato and the EU. If that comes out it is political dynamite. They can blackmail them to do almost anything they want to. What they will do now is provoke Russia.
Russia also knows that this is what has happened, that is why they have responded as they have.
Who is "They" Totten? Russia?

I'd like to say the Ukrainians should have thought about all this before their revolt, but careful thought and calculation isn't the hallmark of a public revolt. And what's done is done, now.
So what do you suggest that Obama do? Besides threatening sanctions?
Well I do not see Putin as the aggressor.....he has acted openly and securing Crimea really is pretty fundamental politics. The US would have done so.
But the Crimeans are very happy to be Russian again...Nobody was killed or injured or arrested.
...because they hold most of the US debts which are administered by the bankers.
But it is a deadly game Putin is playing. What Putin has done openly Europe and NATO have been doing since the 2 world war by stealth, corruption, trade blocs and sanction....and when all else fails invasion.
It is but a spat on the world stage. If the Cuban missile crisis didn't result in war, then I highly doubt this will.
The likely result is more international bureaucratic reprimand.
Fundamental? How do you mean? It's fundamental to invade and annex territory?
That's not true, as documented above.
Not true. China holds about 10% of the US debt.
Putin just prefers to invade first and then dare you to do something about it.
This I fundamentally disagree...the Cuban missile crisis did not involve the Bankers......
The Federal res. But not just the FR every other national bank except for Russia and China and N. Korea.
Now the the title Fed Reserve and the Bank of England will make you think that they an arm of government...but they are not, they are owned and run by a cartel of private bankers based in London and Wall St.
The same cartel that runs the Fed runs the Bank of England...and every other bank...they finance the EU and the IMF
Governments do what they tell them to.
During the cold war, the bankers were in control on BOTH sides....Putin has been purging the bankers. THAT is what makes this different.
So the Fed Reserve and the Bank of England were controlling the USSR...?
