Yes. However, calling Putin and his backers "commies" demonstrates a worldview as stuck in time as General Buck Turgidson.

Wow, someone on here telling us how great a country Russia is? Really? They can't even make a stairway with equal stair treads.

They accept losing half of the oil they produce through leaks in their pipelines.

Russia is a fricking joke.

Kind of reminds me of the Obama "leg humpers." Lying and denying his lies, government stats, flip flops, his Bushness, etc...

I do hope Obama and Cameron will contain Putin the dictator though.

Isn't it amazing to read what liberals think?

I guess this is why liberals think that all conservatives hate women, hate minorities, want to own slaves, are KKK member racists, and hate children.

When conservatives criticize the bungling incompetence of Obama, that does not mean that they like Putin!

It remains to be seen how he'll react to that pressure, but there's no doubt there'll be pressure.
Then again, who'll want to be the first? Hello, polonium poisoning...

Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggie" while looking for a rock, as they say.

It has been a continuous stream of illogical low IQ arguments by the left to defend this president.

If you point out that Obama shouldn't have offered him greater flexibility after the election (because Putin is a dangerous dictator) - they say that is an endorsement of leg humping Putin, which is ironic, because millions on the left has truthfully had an emotional infatuation with Obama that has blocked all clear rational thought of him.

If you say that Russia is a geopolitical foe - they call you a fool and say that the 1980s want their foreign policy back. When Kerry calls Russia a geopolitical foe, they nod in agreement.

Well, you DO have a point there.

However, I still think it's pretty obvious there WILL be pressure.

As opposed to the continuous streem of illogical low IQ arguments by the right to attack the president?

Should Obama renew the Bush missile defense shield in Poland that he canceled?
