    This is a joke right? I'm like 60/40 that you're joking so I figured I better ask.

    I was also able to stay drunk there for 35 days straight when I went there for a military exercise.

    Yeah my bad. The Dems showered Obama with Love for failing to do what he said he would, having his secretary of state make a "joke" about a possible solution, and then Having Putin put it together.

    The "repubs" just gave Putin credit for doing what Obama couldn't. Not that it matters, because Syria hasn't met any of the deadlines yet at all. It was basically a Bullshit offer anyway.

    Teddy purposefully took us away from that with the Great White Fleet but we pretty much gave it up with the Spanish American War.

    Aren't we about to pass some deadline for the use of force in the Crimea?

    2am or 5 am. Yep. 42,000 troops in Crimea now with 150k on the borders. Rough estimation.

    I was in Crimea(pronounced Kreme) about two weeks ago, visiting my wife's family and I recently in Kharkov, Kiev and Odessa. Everyone in Ukraine speaks Russian, except when with just family.
    No one is being persecuted for language or anything else. Russians consider Ukrainians like brothers, and vice versa
    About this so called pro Russian Crimea, which is also false. They have held past referendums to leave Ukraine that failed, and failed big 60-40 or some shit. 20% are Tatars that hate Russia and about 40% are Ukrainians, the rest are pro Russians. Most Ukraine's want nothing to do with Russia. Everything outside of Moscow/St Petersburg, is like third world trash in Russia, and all Russians and Ukrainians know this. The majority of Ukrainians feel like they have a better future with more EU integration.
