-10 on this one, Blid, The Obama administration is not the "U.S.", it's all him there, unfortunately, he has a lot of sycophants on his side to power what he wants to do. He is NOT prepared for any sort of military response to the "Russion" aggression. For one, there hasn't been a shot fired, and secondly, the Russians have their main Naval Base there for their Black Sea Fleet, thus they originally had a large contingent of Russian Nationals living there in support of said base, thus the population of the are is primarily Russian, not people who claim Ukrainian citizenship, although in most cases I'd wager, the people are indistinguishable. They provide the excuse, and right now, at least according to what I've seen the soldiers who have taken control of those key locations, and buildings in Crimea are not sporting any sort of identifying informative uniform articles, and I've also head that the Russians, believe that they are local folks opposed to the new Ukranian political leadership since the ouster of the previous president who is being sought for charges by the new administration there.
Considering the size of that Naval Base (one of the largest in the world) it wouldn't surprise me if Vladimir Putin refers to it as an issue of National Security for his government and people. And personally, I wouldn't blame him for it. He's apparently going to ensure the sscurity of the Russian Federation the way he thinks is best, and I've gotta admit, this is probably a good move on his part.
Obama on the other hand, has a very weak hand at this point, he's lost any sort of respect from the allies of the U.S. through his underhanded blundering about trying to spy on everyone, among other issues related to his veracity.
In addition, he has relieved many top commanders of the military who have not passed his litmus test about whether or not they'd be willing to fire on Americans.
That makes the knucklehead in the White House, a dangerous man right now, he might feel the need to show his "manliness" and toss a nuke or two. This would obviously not be the will of the American People, but rather, the will of someone who still thinks he's on the streets and running scared.
The endless luxury vacations are going to come to an end if Putin wants to make an issue of it, and that can't be allowed to happen. Damn, no more golfing at all the resorts... OH NO! "and I thought I had a couple of more good years of doing that stuff before I have to get serious to keep this power"
PUHLEEEEEEZE!!!!!!
It's Obama, not the U.S.
