RUSSIA AND THE REPUBLICANS VIE FOR WHO CAN START WORLD WAR 3 FIRST. HAS THE WORLD LOST ITS MIND?

I would like to start off with a big shout out to my Ukrainian readers which has been much larger than I would have thought. Our prayers go out to you as the average guy is now caught between a rock and hard place there. Trust me, we know how you feel as does most of the Earth. How come a small group of idiots seem to be hell bent on world destruction while the majority of us just want to live in peace? You think most people in Syria give a rat's ass about the civil war? They would much rather be running their business as usual lives rather than be caught up in sectarian violence. But groups on both sides are killing indiscriminately and shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Ukrainians want democracy and are paying the ultimate price for it. In this country, we have people (Republicans) who must be retarded because there is simply no other explanation for the stupid things coming out of their mouths this week. Russia is being led by someone who thinks its the nineteenth century. When will this all stop?


Ukraine is the big story and none of it is good. Russia and China appear to joining forces as the latter has agreed with Russia over its apparent Ukrainian conquest, which is at odds with most everyone else. Russia has issued an ultimatum to give up in an unconditional surrender or face the wrath of the Russian military by 5 am Tuesday. Ukraine has reported that Russian forces are demanding the immediate surrender of two Ukrainian warships and are blockading them and a sub to prevent them from leaving. While Russia has said they have no plans to attack, I am not so sure.

The world has responded forcefully. Poland has moved troops and tanks to their border with Ukraine as European and American forces remain on high alert. The G8 summit set for Sochi has been indefinitely postponed and sanctions, bank freezes and other options remain on the table as well.

All of this has caused markets to drop like a stone with the Dow down over 200 point as of this writing. Russian stocks plunged 10% as the Ruble fell to record lows against the dollar. There is also the possibility the Russian energy may be banned in the EU which would cripple Russia if it happens, which at this point, seems highly likely. No good can come from this and the fact that China seems to be aligning against us seems dangerous.


China recently unveiled new nuclear missiles that have a range of 2,200 miles and capable of hitting forces in Guam causing the military to move equipment and personnel to counter the new threat. North Korea has fired even more missiles in a show of force as military games continue with South Korea and the US. If China gets involved, expect them to use North Korea as proxy weapons.

While all of this going on, here at home we have the stupidest human beings alive blasting Obama for not nuking Russia once and for all. Lindsey Graham takes the cake for blaming Obama for not attacking every time someone says BOO at us. Yes, his red line against Syria was stupid, however, he also killed Osama bin Laden and is using drones to bring death from the sky to lots of people who deserve it without endangering troops so it's not all bad. Graham says people "roll their eyes every time Obama threatens them," conveniently forgetting Obama's actions in Libya worked and all those dead terrorists who didn't get tickled to death. He then went on to say Obama was "a weak and indecisive president," which oddly enough was never said when Bush was in office and which describes him to a T. Cheney was the real power behind the throne as Bush did what he was told.


Sarah Palin is crowing about being right about Russia invading Ukraine but, let's face facts, she got lucky, considering nothing she has ever said in the past has ever come true. A broken clock is right twice a day I guess.

We need cool heads here and Obama is definitely that. It's the rest of the world that worries me. Thank God Romney wasn't President because if the GOP got its way, the world would be a smoking husk by now. We all better pray that Russia is all talk because the alternative may be a nuclear war.
