If this Vladimir Zhirinovsky was Russia's president then we should be worried. However, Putin has a much cooler head than this guy. Zhirinovsky would be Russia's modern day Stalin but thankfully they wouldn't put this nut case in charge. The way things are going these days who knows what will happen between us and Russia. I hope things will work out for the better so we can have peace between us.

If we put troops on the ground in the Ukraine/Crimea as some idiots have suggested, it could gradually escalate into a conventional and then nuclear war.

I doubt we care THAT much about some random island in the black sea to send troops.

Obama, Kerry and McCaine need to stop with the red line rhetoric. The only thing it's doing is building up tensions with the Russians. It's like when we told China what to do about the South China Sea and they laughed at us. It's embarrassing and our allies and enemies see this.

Yea, Gomer sure was a tough talking Commander in Chief, wasn't he? He acted on his "gut", and his "gut" (along with his boss Dick Cheney) told him we would be "greeted as liberators" in Iraq.

How'd that work out for ya George? Thank God we don't have another idiot like that in the White House now.

Case in point; If you had a pesky mosquito buzzing around your head, what do you do about it? But did the u.s. admit actually having deployed one? I'm asking because I didn't see that article. OR is this more noise the russian media is making with no credible sources?
