#2 The US will be ready for a "Military Response" just as soon as a Commander In Chief can be located. The current one, and his image making minions seem to think that "standing up, while talking to Putin" is the same as "standing up to Putin".

#3 They're trying hard to make him look like Gary Cooper.

And to be fair, they don't want a Bossy Barry.

#6 Dempsey + the other Chiefs, + US Allies, are prolly NOT going to be too inspired by the Bammer saying for the THIRD? TIME on national media that Russia will pay a "cost" for invading the Crimea.

Historically, by attempting to isolate the Russian-held Crimea wid military forces Kiev is doing what Uncle Fidel did to the US base at GITMO before + after the Cuban Missle Crisis.
HOPEFULLY, ALL THE US-WORLD IS HEARING IS A LOT OF PCORRECT-DENIABLE MEDIA, DIPLOMATIC RHETORIC, I.E. "GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS" "FULL OF SOUND-N-FURY" = KHRUSCHEVIAN SHOE-SLAMMING BUT SIGNIFYING NOTHING.

As a reminder, ... ...

* TOPIX, WORLD NEWS, DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > RUSSIAN MILITARY EXPANDS PRESENCE IN CENTRAL ASIA TO KEEP AFGHAN MILITANT THREAT [Afghan = AFPAK? Post-2014?]FROM SPREADING.

As per Russia's world view, WHATS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CENTRAL ASIA TO CONTAIN RADICAL ISLAM'S HARD BOYZ + SOON-TO-BE-NUCLEAR OWG GLOBAL JIHAD IS THE CRIMEA.

Its in Russia's interests to keep a watchful MilPol eye on Islamist-pressured TURKEY, NUKE-WANNABE RISING IRAN = GLOBALIST-DESIRED OWG CO-SUPERPOWER IRAN, + COUNT DOOKU'S EMIRATE/CALIPHATE-HAPPY CAUCASUS BOYZ - THE CRIMEA IS RIGHT NEXT TO ALL OF 'EM.

And, ironically, ITS IN THE US + EUROPE'S = JUDEOCHRISTIAN WEST'S INTERSTS TO LET HARDLINE, SMASH-ALL-ENEMIES-TO-PIECES-LOVING RUSSIA TO DO SO.

#7 When the media said that Zero and Putin talked for 2 hours (1 hour once, then 1 hour again), I immediately sensed Zero and Putin where just going over the Socialist Game Plan for this situation.

#8 Napoleon and Hitler both have fond memories of their forays into Mother Russia.

For some reason, I am reminded of the of old saying "every ship can be a minesweeper - once."

#9 Obama's a Putz. He'll NEVER fight, Russia or someone (Anyone) else.

Folks say "He wants a War", Bullshit, he's too cowardly,and It won't help HIM stay in office.

Unless (Of course) He could LIE one up?
