Where were all the righties when Bush let Putin walk over Georgia? That's part of the reason we have this situation now.
I am glad Bush handeled it the way he did, which is the same way US is handing Ukraine. There are practically no national security interests whatsoever for US in either Georgia or Ukraine. West Europe has interests there, so our only duty is to side with our European allies, nothing more, nothing less. West Europe is NOT willing to rattle sables, so why should we?
It's too funny the very same people who pretended to be libertarian "stop world policing" people few months ago, suddenly want to play the world police because Obama played the libertarian foreign policy card. Anything goes as long at they are in disagreement with Us foreign policy. Putin must be amused as hell.
That is correct. I'll say it again... it would be like Russia meddling in an issue that we had with one of our neighboring countries, and trying to tell us what to do. We wouldn't like it too much.
But what has happened since, has been an unprecented landgrab by Putin. Not since the USSR immediately after WWII, has there been such an aggressive push forward. I suppose poor Georgia is next...

I understand now - nice strategy of making wild generalizations for an entire group of people by picking out a thread on this forum and Alex Jones.
So several recent mass shootings have been carried out by well known self avowed progressives. Can I assume that progressives support mass shootings from this? - Of course not. Get a clue.
Hey man, if you don't count yourself among those conservatives who are cheering Putin or justifying his actions, then don't worry about it. The reputation of your fellow conservatives is ****e around the world no matter what I or anyone else says on this forum.
So just deal with it.
But the fact remains it's basically the right in America who has found it within otherwise frigid hearts to make excuses for Putin and relish in the lack of options facing Obama.
Because as long as it makes Obama look bad, it's... good!
Read up on the history and see why it was given to Ukraine. A treaty was signed and agreed upon. Now Russia has its military in a country that is not theirs. Im glad you do not see anything wrong with this, but im sure one day karma will return the favor to the illegal acts of Russia.
I guess it is not a illegal act to stir up minority protestors and fund them to oust a elected Ukraine president which I am sure is against the Ukraine constitution. If you say that he fired on protestors so far there is no proof of that but if he did does that make him worse then us. If there was a protest in DC that turned non peaceful the U S gvt would do the same thing and you know it.
The original crime was the US and EU staging a coup in Ukraine and deposing an elected leader.
If the same were done to Obama would the Bots approve?
He was not deposed by the EU or the US, he was impeached by his own parliament after three months of violent demonstrations in which over 100 of his citizens lost their lives, and his supporters all fled to Russia...then he did.
Elections were always planned for May 25, upon his impeachment.

We are talking about Russia storming Crimea with its military and trying to make a country that is not Russia into Russia. Stay on topic please and get with the program. Stop trying to troll or divert this to something else.
