Re: It's official - Russian enter Crimea
Then why do it at all? I know you had talked about "bashing" the president but you have to look at his handling of foreign policy and especially his reticence at dealing with tyrants. I know of as many Dems as Reps who are shocked at how weak our President's response has been in these areas, and they are terribly frustrated that he is so reluctant to project strength, even economically. His history has been to go into ostrich mode and I don't think that is prudent.They will care if their actions continue to send foreign investors running from the Ruble.
Hard to criticize their view when we have no idea what their information sources are. I suspect they are inundated constantly with how bad things are here - not unlike we're inundated with how bad things are in Russia.
I have several friends who live in Russia - it's amazing how different their world is from what we're told it is.
