Ukraine (closed; covers till August 2014)

[JMA]

Not so long ago on this very thread we were beinmg told that Putin is a genius and Obama a fool, that Putin was in control and working Obama, and that unless the US leaped up and responded with all manner of dramatic moves, the Ukraine would be lost and all of Eastern Europe imperiled.

Not so fast...

Russia is still in control of Crimea... and the White House is once again frozen in indecision.

Remember I told you about the old Russian/Soviet move: Two steps forward, one step back.

They took Crimea and then threatened Eastern Ukraine. So when they stopped threatening Eastern Ukraine the idiots in the White House / DoS think they have scored a victory... forgetting in whose hands Crimea is.

Seems they got you... and Obama fooled.

(Steve, don't feel too bad, over Georgia Bush #43 folded as well.)
