@HerbWolfe the experts were wrong!
Sarah Palin predicted Russia would invade #Ukraine. Romney said Russia was a threat. Both were mocked; both were right. Both are leaders.
@flip934 they shouldn’t vote them in
@flip934 I don’t favor disarming. I just don’t think the military spending is always the most efficient way of deterrence. Better weapons.
@flip934 you seem to foolishly think the choice is between going to war with Russia and being Putin’s bitch.
@flip934 No, most people ruled by tyrants deserve them.
@flip934 not every conflict is appeasement circa 1938
@flip934 Strategy matters.
Hey #Ukraine if you didn’t want #Russia to invade you maybe you shouldn’t have cut a deal to give access to #Crimea port & then renege?
Shocked that Russia is intervening to maintain port deal that they signed w/ a democratically elected Ukraine president until 2042. #Crimea
You mean there are Russians in #Crimea? Oh no. Suddenly this is more complicated than John McCain said!
It’s only a matter of time before neocons unironically cite Tennyson on #Crimea: “Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die.”
KirkHSowell In addition, the Crimea was part of Russia until Nikita Khrushchev gave it as a “gift” to his native Ukraine. The US has…
@ChuckCJohnson
KirkHSowell …zero national interest in how close Ukraine is to Russia or what happens with Crimea. That is not to say being close to..
@ChuckCJohnson
It’s just dishonest to say that the United States is isolationist for not wanting to spend her treasure and her sons on the #Crimea.
It took 14 years from the first #teaparty to remake the political world. It’ll take far less time this time. #TeaParty5Years
Be honest. If Mexico or Canada were about to split in two do you think the U.S. would remain on the sidelines? Why should Russia? #Crimea
Hey remember all the experts who last week predicted Russia wouldn’t invade #Ukraine? They were wrong. So why are we listening to them now?
This much seems obvious: #Putin’s Russia wants #Crimea more than we want #Ukraine to have #Crimea so #Russia will get #Crimea.
I’ve really enjoyed trotting out my Risk-inspired geography knowledge on #Ukraine I’m not so arrogant as to believe I know what to do.
#Ukraine is one of the most corrupt white countries on the planet. Save us the lectures about the past thug. This will not end well.
@JasonKuznicki @b_fung Really enjoyed your Bloggingheads.tv video discussion.
