Easy.
"White trash and noble breeding
baun the tsarist throne even good.
However, from Siberia to the Baltic Sea;
The Red Army is the stronger army."

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia executed a de facto military takeover of a strategic region in Ukraine as the parliament in Moscow gave President Vladimir Putin a green light Saturday to proceed to protect Russian interests. The newly installed government in Kiev was powerless to react to the swift takeover of Crimea by Russian troops already in Ukraine and more flown in, aided by pro-Russian Ukrainian groups.
...
Putin's move follows President Barack Obama's warning Friday "there will be costs" if Russia intervenes militarily, sharply raising the stakes in the conflict over Ukraine's future and evoking memories of Cold War brinkmanship...
...Russia's upper house also recommended that Moscow recalls its ambassador from Washington over Obama's comments.

People are not understanding Obama. When he says there will be costs, he's talking about fiscal impacts to the US Economy and taxpayer.

According to Wikipedia:
"According to the 2001 Ukrainian population census 58.5% of the population of Crimea were ethnic Russians and 24.4% were ethnic Ukrainians[8] and the region has the highest share of the followers of Islam in Ukraine.[10]"
If an vote of the citizens of Crimea is held, I suspect that they will vote to side with Russia. No?
That would be my guess anyways.
I agree with Robert Goren, I don't see the U.S. or N.A.T.O doing much about this land grab.

Presidents should be forbidden from using the passive voice.

That's the only voice this president has.

The huge difference here is the fact that Putin knows his ass from his elbow.

Dagnabit!! Poor Obama is going to have to play switch now. Switch is
when you stick one thumb in your mouth and the other up your ass,
then switch.
Putin made a move to protect Russian citizens from getting their heads
lopped off by Islamic crazies. I don't see any wrong in that.

Forget Georgia! Sen. John McCain says we're all Ukranians now!
Sen. McCain reaffirmed his hopes that, at long last, America will do what it should have done in Vietnam and bomb those commies back to the stone age.

We're very fortunate to have elected President Obama. From day one in office, he's worked to "reset" our relationship with Russia. We now have an excellent working relationship with Putin and the Russian Federation, allowing for President Obama/Sec of State John Kerry to resolve this matter through diplomatic means.

That is because his elbow isn't as pompous as his ass.

Shut his mouth and stop looking like a total tool to the rest of the world.
Everyone knows he is all talky and no walky - he is a big mouthed coward with no contingency plans. A fool other world leaders do not fear at all.
Go on vacation, Barry, do what you do best.
