And let's be clear, the country had an election and decided to join Russia, so the US really shouldn't have any say in the matter. They just don't want Russia to get any stronger and more powerful, so they are trying to stop them. And crimeria used to be a part of Russia. I'm from America, but am tired of the US trying to be the world police.

He'll. we went into the Middle East and got nothing but trillions of wasted dollars and a decade of war and death. Who looks stupid now?
Where do you get your information from.

1. A referendum to slit a sovereign nation is not recognized by international law.

2. The whole country of Ukraine did not vote, just Crimea.

You guys are delusional if you think that it isn't ok for them to join Russia if they vote a majority to do so. Another local area wants to.

Bots are in the ridiculous position of supporting an illegal coup by neo-Nazis and denying that people have a right to self-determination.

It just shows they will parrot anything their masters tell them to parrot.

Exactly. Obama and Hillary are whipping them into some Cold War frenzy. Most have no idea where Crimea is.

That's rich. Since Obama took office all you lefties have been doing is characterizing Obama as a "great leader", which is tiresome, especially when you refuse to see that he isn't.

You, like so many foolish liberals, assume that anyone that doesn't embrace, support, or have only kind words for Obama are on the right. Did it ever once occur to you that there may be a few dems that did not vote for him, don't support him, and share the same opinion as others in that has been a very poor president? That there are democrats who put their faith in him and believed in his "hope and change" have fallen to the wayside and no longer support him?

Just how do you know where I stand? Left, Right, Center, Independent? Hint: Look at my status.

From what I can see people are not praising Putin because clearly he is a certified nut job. Because people are laughing with him as to his treatment of Obama, is not a show of support. Obviously you can't grasp that.

Watching the American Right driven into the arms of a Stalinist Oligarch purely out of Obama Derangement Syndrome has been a wonder to watch.

LOL.
Lefties hate Putin because gays.
Righties of the McCain variety hate Putin because he kept them from getting another war in Syria and for those guys another war is always a good thing.
Maybe the 2 types of Putin haters can find an agreement and the usa can launch a massive war against Russia in the name of gays or something like that.
