Uhmmm...you don't know your geography very well do you?
Estonia has a border with Russia.
You don't know your English very well do you? "Through" is a broadly defined word. "Through Ukraine" is not limited to geography. It could also be geopolitics, and many other things. And Uhmmmm is not an English word, FYI.
You guys just can't help yourselves. You gotta take cheap shots at the president for any reason and no reason at all. "He's doing too much"......"he's not doing enough".........meanwhile you don't have the slightest clue what exactly is going on diplomatically, militarily and politically, concerning the situation. In fact none of you could give a tinker's damm about Ukraine or Crimea. You're only concerned how you can spin the situation against the president.
Taking Crimea is one thing. Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania are part of NATO. Attack one and you have instant war with 70% of Europe all over your ass. Attack one and you attack all. US and Obama have nothing to do with it. Europe will act with or without Obama and the US.
I hope you're right. Tho Russia trying trying to invade the Baltic countries WOULD be a real bad move.

No we are Murica!! we are always the center of attention!!
I don't doubt that, but Alaska is closer AND they have lots and lots of lovely OIL that Obama won't allow them to drill. In this case, maybe Russia will decide that they get to count the Russians .... and protect them.

What is this ^^^^^
When someone gets proven wrong in a political debate, we resort to grimmer policing instead of admitting to being wrong ????
Lord knows T-310 hop scotched all over the world to avoid saying he is wrong, but you ? That's sad.
Call yourself a historian. Learn from history. Putin wants the old Soviet Empire back. And he can do it with the weaklings in office in the west to oppose him.
Putin doesn't want the Soviet Union to return. He does want Russia to maintain its sphere of influence and he is sick and tired of all the broken promises that the West made to Russia. The US promised Russia/Soviet Union that it would not expand NATO past the Elbe River but instead they added all of the former Eastern Bloc and the Baltic states. Even after Putin helped the US after 9/11, The US began installing anti ballistic missile systems in the new NATIO states and tried to bring Central Asia and the Caucasus under its influence. The West also built an oil pipeline from Central Asia/the Caspian that bypassed Russia. With all these broken promises, can you really blame Russia for being paranoid?

Russia can't be trusted. I don't feel sorry for them one bit...
