It amazes me how pathetic the White House is in regards to how it is approaching the Russian threat to Ukraine, and ultimately, the world. I am not suggesting we go into Moscow with guns blazing, but you don't work with these people acting like Neville Chamberlain. It's like playing poker. You keep your poker face on your mug in a particular manner, so that your opponents believe you have a powerful hand at all times, even when you don't.
Barack Obama, and company, are not only acting like a bunch of scared chickens, but they are reducing our ability to respond as Russia does what they are doing, and they are doing it all for Russia to see.
Yet, as they reduce the size of our military capabilities, the money being pumped into the United Nations is being increased to $3.6 Billion!
The line of thinking is "If we disarm, and make nice-nice with the U.N., then they will too. They will see our lead and follow."
That is not how bad guys think.
What the White House is doing is telegraphing to Putin a message of weakness, and he is jumping all over it.
The invasion of Ukraine is in place, and underway. Pro-Russian factions have taken control of key eastern Ukrainian cities. And Putin is fine with it, waiting for the moment to do what he did in Crimea, and what Hitler did in Czechoslovakia.
The Russian troops at the border are drilling, also. Watching. The Ukraine has hit a few pro-Russian groups, and it won't take long before Russia goes into action in the name of defending their Russian Nationals in Ukraine.
And don't think the threat of sanctions, or something like that, has Putin concerned. Barack "Neville Chamberlain" Obama is the least of Putin's worries.
