If Putin wants to annex all of the Ukraine, are we really in any position to stop him? 0bama can posture and bluster all he wants to, but the fact of the matter is that we are in no position to stop him with our government and those of most of the west in the disarray they are currently experiencing. The US, behind the public ineptitude of 0bama, has shown such weakness that it has empowered Putin to the point that he may just decide the time is right to make his move to rebuilt the old USSR.

Its my opinion that Obama should back off. If 97% of the Crimean voters want to join Russia, its their business. They will probably become an autonomous state like Georgia. The rest of Ukrain's economy is in shambles anyway, so they have a ways to go if they want to join the EU. If Russian natural gas keeps flowing to Europe through Ukrainian pipe lines this posturing should die down pretty soon unless Russia tries the same tactic in eastern Ukraine and/or the baltic states, In which case all bets are off.

Wait, you mean the sanctions might not work. OMG! Freeze their Facebook accounts. That should do it. Obama is a laughing stock abroad. I guess the reset isn't working out as planned.

Oh my and Obooma thought he was someone others had to contend with. Remember he went on the apology tour. That was his intelligent idea as to foreign policy. Now he wonders why the leader of the one nation we always stood up against is making him a laughing stock!
The next time you meet one of those whom voted for him, ask them how proud they are of the fact that Russia now laughs at their president, which means he is laughing at us all. Good time for another bumper sticker. Shall we all send an open invitation to every nation out there to come take what they want? With this man at the helm for the next two years we will be lucky if we have a country left to reclaim.

Am I the only one who remembers that Dear Leader, in intentional spite to Ronald Reagan, pulled SDI out of Europe?

You get what you pay for, you Ivy League Marxist, Ruling Class buffoon!

I hope the Space Station doesn’t become a political football. This situation has probably already affected the private space companies that rely on their product satellites to be launched from Kyrgyzstan.

As in the days of Noah, Genesis 7-8 the tempest is growing. Hold your faith brothers and sisters.

This is outrageous! A local Russian conflict is punished internationally! What does the US and the European Community have to do with this problem, which actually is beneficial to both sides? I´ll tell you what this means: Russia is becomming more powerfull and the "international community" is passing statist actions to punish them. Since they don´t dare do it directly, they pressure the individuals in site as if a message where being sent to all: "you can´t do what you like unless we approve it".

Don´t get me wrong, I don´t like war at all. This is why I condemn this hypocracy, since the US is the country that is common denominator in most of the conflicts ever since WWII. This "peacemaker" agenda hides the true intentions which are common to all empires: control. Anything that exceeds their grasp is deemed wrong, evil, etc. Pathetic really.

I am not speaking of fresh fruits and vegetables. Remember the Freedom of Information Act. This is where it gets sticky, this administration ignores it and have made us responsible to them. All figures go through them for approval before we are allowed to know anything.
Mono crops are what we hear about and we sure do have a lot of it. A great deal of produce consumed in America comes from other countries. It is no longer as it once was. It began when they started paying farmers not to grow specific crops. That increased the cost not yield.
I run into this a great deal, people not realizing the truth because they are not directly connected although they will soon be affected. That is one of the reason you have so many small farms opening up markets all over the country. Ask a reputable chef and they can tell you a great deal of what is going on in the real world not the one this administration has chosen to use smoke and mirrors to present us with. Ask the owner of a grocery store, they can tell you were their produce is coming from. Do you believe that there are enough beans grown in this country to fill the grocery shelves with week after week. No. Produce is shipped in to the food factories, they can it and send it on its way to the masses. Once the ability to pay these growers in other countries ceases, you will find out just how much is actually grown in America.
Please be aware that I do not say this to create an argument of any kind, far be it, I say this because it needs saying.
Sit in on a farmers meeting and you will hear a great deal more than you ever dreamed could be possible in America. Things are far worse than most Americans know. It is so bad that it will only take one month to end your ability to buy enough food to feed a family of four. That is not imaginary it is fact. A vicious circle that begins and ends in Washington. They are fully aware of this. The hard reality is when the US dollar is no longer excepted, what are we going to use to purchase food from those countries.

abc also gives us a demotion to current equality with russia as a "super power" -- yet russia may have the edge on us now (as contrasted with the cold war), since they have the will to use their power.

Bad for US world view (net negative), bad for Obama/socialists in next election (net positive). Which one has more sway for our lifestyle?

I think the biggest supporter of Obama in the first election was the actions of the Bush administration prior...swing right...swing left. Are we just "swinging" again, or can we change the game by making credible arguments for stability?

Putin better be careful, or Barry is going to shake his bony finger, and draw another red line.

Vladimir is not taking our Buffoon-in-Chief seriously. At all.
