"Nothing can be done about Russia...but I'll blame Obama for not doing it!"

[GordonGecko]

Pretty much the mantra of the Right today, huh?


For those who keep bringing up Romney...what would he have done differently? Remember, it was Mitt himself who was telling people just a month ago "Go to Sochi" speaking of the security situation.

The Problem Gordo is that nobody in the world cares what this President says about anything. He is weak and ineffectual leader and has been pushed around all over the World' from Iran, Syria and now on to the Ukraine.

Do you think you are really going to be able to hide behind "what would he have done differently" when the biggest problem in this situation is that we have a President the world is NOT LISTENING TO IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. The world stage does not take him seriously.

Good luck with Clinton in 2016 since that "Russian re-set" is going sooooo splendidly...

Nobody in the world? Would that be your world? The Republican world?

Two questions.

What does the right believe the POTUS should have done re Crimea/The Ukraine?
1. Sent warships, ground troops, aircraft to the front door of Russia? Told the American people we can't get out of a 12 year war, but we're going to start another ground assault against Russia?
2. Began bombing of the Kremlin as soon as the first troops entered Crimea?
3. Told the American people Russia has weapons of mass destruction and they are not a democracy, so we will invade and change them?

Just what would you have liked to see the President do?

Turn this around. The right wingnuts in Texas threatend to secede, a couple years ago. Let's say they did, but installed a "President" who had promised to remain close to the U.S., almost as a territory rather than a state. Some years later, the citizens of that territory decided to oust their U.S. loyal President and join with Mexico. Oil and other resources coming from Texas would suddenly be "held hostage". So, the U.S. decides we allowed some semblence of independence to Texas but promises made have been violated and the result will cost the American people more. We send in troops to make certain Mexico does not install a government that conflicts with the good of the American people. Would we expect Russia to interfere?
