we agree that its none of our business. Do we also agree that Putin has bested obama in every international incident over the last few years?
It really boils down to an image thing------Putin looks like a man and a leader-----obama looks like a ***** boy.
No, I don't agree to that at all.
If you take off your 'I hate Obama' glasses for five seconds, you realize that Putin didn't get anywhere near what he wanted.
What he wanted was a Ukraine that was pliable to Russia's interests, and he thought he had that in Viktor Yushchenko. Instead an angry mob threw his boy out, and all he got was the Crimea as a consolation prize. As a result of his action (which was forced by internal politics) Russia will probably no longer be part of the G-8 and is going to lose a lot of important trade and investment with the west.
To gain what, 26,000 square miles and 1.9 million more mouths to feed?
Meanwhile, Obama is really no worse off than he was before. Possibly a little better because the EU is having to come to us hat in hand to help resolve this mess they created.
