Russia Just Invaded Ukraine

I don't think it's very geopolitically helpful to call Russians "dummies".

Ukraine's acting president announced that he has put the country's armed forces on high alert after the Russian parliament unanimously voted to grant President Vladimir Putin permission to mobilize the country's military in Ukraine.

Oleksandr Turchynov said Saturday he had also ordered increased security at nuclear power plants, airports and other strategic infrastructure, because of the threat of "potential aggression."

The Russian parliament unanimously voted Saturday to grant President Vladimir Putin permission to mobilize the country's military in Ukraine and asked that the country's ambassador in Washington be recalled after earlier statements by President Obama.

Putin said that the mobilization is needed to protect ethnic Russians and the personnel of a Russian military base in Ukraine's strategic region of Crimea. But the request came a day after Obama warned Moscow that "there will be costs" if it intervenes militarily in Ukraine.

So they want to recall their ambassador too? That is never a good sign before a military build up.

I wonder if Obama is slapping his forehead right now and thinking "Gee...maybe all of those leaders who hated Bush just hated him because they hated America and not because Bush was an ass."

Obama tried to cozy up with Hugo Chavez; that blew up in his face. He tried to cozy up with Russia; that blew up in his face.

I'm sure I'm missing a few leaders here and there he kissed the ass of thinking "I'm not Bush! Everything is great over here now!"

They are all like.. pfft.. America won't do anything.
