    Great Britain? Love the Brits but no

    Switzerland? Hahahahahaha

    Spain? Hell no

    United States? Bitch please, we can't even fix a website. How are we going to take on an entire country? Even if we weren't 17 trillion dollars in debt and could afford another war, President limp-wrist doesn't have the balls.

    China? No. We should be worried that China doesn't take Putin up on his 2008 offer to collaborate and collapse our economy. Because that would take all of three days and never waste a bullet.

    Iran? They want the 12 Imam, they ain't stopping shit even if they could.

    Israel? They got enough problems on their own. Plus Obama and his administration hasn't exactly been friendly to them. Hell our beloved John Kerry's source of wealth (that he married into) is behind a boycott of Israel... While he is our Secretary of State.

    Mexico? There are no tortillas or free government services for illegals in Ukraine. No care.

    Canada? They might be the world's last best hope.
    I dont understand WHY he should be stopped.

    Putin is helping citizens overthrow a fascist government... with the support of citizens.

    Im jealous.......

    Did you say the same thing when Georgia was invaded?

    How about when he does the same thing in Estonia?


    You are right in the fact that most of Crimea wants to be part of Russia and the ballot probably would have shown that before Russian forces went in. That doesnt give any further legitimacy to the vote AFTER they went in though.



    A separate point.

    Obama has had a pretty easy presidency to this point with very few non self inflicted crisis. This one changes all that. As rough as Bush's presidency was, this single crisis could easily trump everything Bush had to go through. Hell, this could be the diciest foreign relations situation since WW2, and if handled badly by any of a dozen govts or millions of citizens it could easily spark WW3, or at least another European war.
