A little different if you look at the facts. Georgia attacked South Ossetia. Ukraine did not.

South Ossetia was not recognized internationally as sovereign any more than than Crimea was.

Don't get me wrong, that was none of our business either. But Georgia and South Ossetia stood in the same relation to Russia as did Ukraine and Crimea.

Especially the part where Republicans claim St Ronnie neutralized Russia/USSR and won the cold war.

That is true, but the roles were reversed. It was Georgia that went into South Ossetia which put Russia in the position where Ukraine now sits.

Anyway, like you, I'm not big fan of getting too embroiled in this.

Obama's most consistent foreign policy initiative has been gay rights.

The OP is babbling nonsense. Russia "got its power", I.E. it's money, by selling raw materials.

Stop wringing your hands in terror. No one is going to pop a nuke. Especially that weakling in the WH. It would damage his narcissism beyond repair.

Yes, you posted a random video and tried to connect it to your topic, how did Russia get their new found power? And what makes you think this is some sort of new power?
