Crisis in the Ukraine

Ann Romney owns a horse.

 

And pulls its tongue.

 

Alaskans can see the Ukraine from their houses.

 

If you want some cogent analysis take a look at Josh Marshall's take at TPM. In summary, this will not end well for Russia.

Kudos to you!

 

It really is just a big game of real-life Risk.

The Ukraine girls really knock me out, they leave the West behind:

 

Snowboarding team?

 

Just the same when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt asked Churchill what to
do and he said we should invade North Africa.

 

The Pope! How many divisions has he got? /Stalin

 

Of course in that case, Churchill was worried Germany would gain control of the Suez, the Middle East and the oil there, and possibly link up with Japan for control of all of South Asia, allowing the Axis powers the energy required to fight a long war. It is true that Churchill wanted to show his peeps that they were actually fighting the Germans somewhere instead of just watching bombs fall from their planes across Great Britain.

 

What should we do in areas like Crimea where the majority of people want to be part of Mother Russia?
