Crisis in the Ukraine

Who? Putin?

Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych?

 

I propose a Westside Story-type danceoff.
Vladdy looks quick on his feet.
Granted, he doesn't do all that golfing and bicycle-riding.

 

"Dancing With the Czars?"

 

Come on, man.

 

What if he wore a Burger King crown for you, Fart Boy?

 

Sloganeering. And you're willing to bomb Moscow. Got it.

 

Depends. How well does he sing the national anthem?

 

You don't understand the art of aggressive diplomacy, do you? Read a little Sun Tzu.
Propose a solution or get out of my hair, please.
And, Riptide, I wear the Burger King crown around here.
Try knocking it off my head and I'll put you in a camel clutch.

 

My solution is the same as Starman's: Make some disapproving statements, slap a bunch of economic sanctions on them and move on.

There are plenty of people who can't find Washington D.C. on a map. We're supposed to go to war over some region near Russia that even more people wouldn't be able to find on a map?

 

Explain the red line(s) and I'll take a hike from this thread for a while.
Please explain the strategy of that.
And we went to war over Kuwait, chief.
About the size of New Jersey.

 

LOL

 

The red line was Obama's way of telling Syria that if they kept up the chemical weapons on their own citizens that we'd be bombing the shit out of Assad and just maybe, we'd accidentally hit a few of Russia's interests as well. And Syria backed the hell down and let the UN remove their chemical weapons. Seems like it worked.

We went to war over Kuwait because the oil oligarchs and the sheiks were all shitting their pants that Saddam was going to take over the whole Mideast and were begging us to intervene, as long as Israel didn't get involved. That, plus Bush I wanted to make sure his oil buddies didn't lose their shirts.
