In the future, I favor that anytime you piss us off bad enough to require US Military intervention, we are going to come in and CONQUER and SUBJUGATE, just like prior to existence of the post WWII POS UN.
If more countries got the clue that is how we operate, there would be a hell of a lot less nonsense. NOTHING would be off the table including the use of Nukes. Citizens of conquered countriex would toe-the-line or would receive a 59 cent 5.56 bullet. The gloves should be off. No more Mr. Nice Guy.


Agree completely-- not our sandbox...

Sooner or later we're probably going to have to clean house so to speak in Mexico, since they seem incapable of cleaning up their own messes... when we do, we don't need the Russians sticking their nose into it...

That's their backyard, let them clean it up. We need to clean up our own backyard...

Later! OL JR :)

Latest....
 
From CNN --

"Russian forces now "have complete operational control of the Crimean Peninsula," a senior U.S. administration official said Sunday of the escalating crisis in Ukraine. The United States estimates there are 6,000 Russian ground and naval forces in the region, the official said. Amid the tensions, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Kiev on Tuesday, an Obama administration official said."


Well, gosh, I thought this situation might become an 'issue'.....Looks like things are simmering down nicely. Now we can get back to the Oscars!! :confused:

Oh those Ruskies!
Now if they can get their country back together, maybe they can get back to sending a man(or woman) to the moon. :rolleyes:

Can't help but notice they waited til the Olympics were over...

I still trust Putin more than I trust Obama... Had it not been for Putin being a leader and giving Obama an "out" after his stupid grandstanding over Syria, we might well have already been in the middle of WWIII... The Russians have said before they'd use nuclear weapons if necessary against the US if we keep just going anywhere we want anytime we want, especially in regards to Syria and Iran...

Besides, the Syrian mess is largely of our own making-- while Obama backs radical terrorists to get rid of Assad, while Assad was a turd, at least he was a pretty quiescent turd... at least they weren't massacring Christians and other minorities and setting up another "Dirtbagistan Islamic Republic" like the terrorists Obama is backing will undoubtedly do if they win...

Well, the impact is already being felt in the markets....


U.S. stocks tumble at the opening bell as the Ukraine crisis rattles investors. Dow drops more than 100 points.* CNN

I don't think Moscow is going to be 'talked' out of this one. Seems they are 'down for the struggle'.

Do some research on the events that led up to WWII. Watch Germany.

I agree 200%. We don't want Russia putting their nose in Mexico.

If I wrote down everything bad, crooked, dangerous or treasonous about this administration I would be here at least a week. Then I would never finish sanding those PITA tiny nose cones on my VF-261. So, I'll keep it short: Butt OUT!
