When there is zero threat of reprisals, bad men are on the move.
I'm not a warmonger. But we have a president who is perceived as a complete douche. That's not good. |

Putin's victims:
https://twitter.com/mitchellreports/...57183544598528 I liked this quote: "In Putin's Russia, plane attacks missile." So true. Russian news is full of stories saying that Ukrainian air traffic control intentionally told plane to decrease altitude. Last edited by SoonerCoug; 07-18-2014 at 11:44 PM. |

Now Russians are saying that the missile was a Ukrainian attempt to shoot down a plane carrying Putin. Idiots.

I would have a show of force. I would bring in a carrier. I would announce weapons support for Ukraine. In addition to the sanctions.
I would not try to convey that I am a pussy. Obama conveying that puts us all in danger. |

Maybe Obama wants to avoid further escalation. Bringing more guns to a fight might not be the best solution. |

As someone who spent her entire adolescence in war and is living in a region carpeted with instability and bathed with violence, I would say, yeah go for it. Show some theeth. Your people would love it.

The effect of this is to make Putin wildly popular. |
