It's relevant, because the Georgia incident is practically identical to Crimea, and Bush handeled is just fine.

Having a foe like Russia, call him a prankster, is all you need to know. They sure as hell never said that about Reagan. There isn't a single person in this administration capable of doing a damn thing. And you sheep, who keep defending them, are either blind, ignorant, or don't care.

Same goes for all US presidents. The Russians called Bush "the man who speaks without thinking", but I don't remember anyone in US celebrating such comments about US a president.

Usually people learn from situations that set a PRECEDENT (using the word in a broad sense). Apparently past presidents and the current president failed to understand that concept.

Take notes. This thread is about OBAMA.

Not any more.

It is now about shameless conservative hypocrisy.

They don't care about this drama.

Not one single American has lost a minute of sleep over the Crimea.

This is nothing more than political opportunism for wingnuts. If there's a chance to criticize Obama no matter how specious, you've gotta take it.

This Russia/Crimea matter is none of our business in any way. They have historical gripes to settle, and it's a Slavic family matter. Americans can't even comprehend the issues involved.

I'm happy...FINALLY something happens in the world that we CAN'T get involved in.

Reagan again?

What did Reagan do in response to huge terrorist attacks on our embassy in Beirut and the Marine barracks attack that killed a few hundred of our troops?

Oh..nothing! That's what.

The myth of big bad ass Reagan is just that...a myth.

Putin would have ran circles around actor Reagan, as well.
