Quoted: In Syria, BHO actually made a huge mistake, and the GOP wouldn't let him follow through. Whether the motivation was cock-blocking the Pres. or keeping the U.S. out of a war it didn't need to be in the end result was the correct move. As far as the green party uprising, what of it? None of our politicians actually bothered to understand who and what was behind it. It wasn't anti-Islamic or anti-Nuclear- but was looking for a different level of accountability and effectiveness from hardline govt. The absolute best way to KILL the green party movement would have been for a lot horseshit, uninformed bluster from our politicians about how 'we're behind them'. As it was, the hardliners were trying to tie them to the U.S. Our interference is not welcome or effective in Iranian internal affairs. I know that a lot of this is complex and doesn't lend itself to 'millions dying' or 'credibility' slogans but we want to get it right, don't we? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: America = the worst nosy neighbor. Every world conflict America thinks "what can i do to insert myself into this". Remember Syria? Remember the Iranian green party uprising? Those weren't the first times. But I do have to agree that this is not our fight. BHO still looks like a dumb fuck every time Putin gets aggressive thanks to the Syrian "red line" fiasco. In Syria, BHO actually made a huge mistake, and the GOP wouldn't let him follow through.

I know that a lot of this is complex and doesn't lend itself to 'millions dying' or 'credibility' slogans but we want to get it right, don't we? I didn't say anything about having an interest. I'm talking about the cries from country after country about "Where is America?" "Why aren't they saving us?" Look. American intervention has been so common that people all over the world expect America to be the first "Good Guy" to come to their rescue. Well, that was back then. Now they have Zero. He made so many damn promises that some people thought it was the second coming of Jesus and it became painfully obvious to everyone but the hard left Americans that he is completely full of shit, especially in geopolitical issues that might require American military intervention. Yeah the cries are dying down. I do understand that vocal support by the United States for the green party would have done nothing but harm to the Green Party. America is the devil to a lot of folks there. My only point was that America doesn't necessarily always show up uninvited. |

CNN reporter just confirming that the troops on the ground there are concealing their identity. No identifiable markings on their vehicles nor their uniforms. When asked who they are, they do not respond. Also that former president Yuck is in Russia and has invited the Russians to come into Ukraine and help him.
This is why, when your overthrow is successful, you make sure the president doesn't leave the country, even better if he's dead. State Dept saying Russia now controls Crimea. |

Not our war. Let the Euros figure this one out. They had decades of socialist program spending since we took up a huge portion of what they SHOULD have been spending on defense.

View Quote However, that doesn't mean we should be involved in every conflict. How our incompetent white house handled Libya, Syria, Egypt recently were all foreign policy blunders IMO. It would be wise for us to keep quiet in this case at least until we have a better understanding of WTF is going on, especially because its amateur hour domestically. |

Breaking: Russian Motorcycle Gang heading for the Ukraine
http://world.time.com/2014/02/28/crimea-russia-putin-night-wolves/ The whole thing is looking more and more like an A-TEAM episode |

Obama gave another hollow threat speech today. Putin has the green light to do what he wants. Obama is a pussy, and Putin knows it.
We have Iranian ships sailing up the Atlantic coast. Russian warships in Cuba. We sell out our Israel. The Libs are cutting our military. Obama wants to negotiate away more of our nukes. The whole world knows that Obama is an empty suit. Freedom everywhere is in peril. |
