What would the lefties do?

Of all the dumb post on this board, this may well be one of the dumbest.

Pages of people posting "solutions" when most of you have ZERO clue. You really love to play games with no real skin in the game, don't you. Games with simple rules, and if you pick the wrong door you can just smirk and move on to the next thread.

Clueless.

You do know that Poland and Lithuania are not part of the USA don't you? We can't tell them to do a damn thing. Originally Posted by cowboyinjungle

Let me rephrase - why don't we consult with NATO and encourage it to put troops on the borders of Kaliningrad Oblast? My guess is Poland and Lithuania will be on board with the idea. Maybe Angela Merkel can despatch a battalion of goose-stepping Prussians and tell Pooty-Poot it's time for Konigsberg to return to the mother country...

Under prodding, some of us did. If you have a problem with that, maybe you should tell the libtards to crawl back under their rock and STFU instead of asking for our solutions.

Sorry. Wrong again. I guarantee you I have far more knowledge of what is actually happening than most on here. All I have to do is read the overly simplistic set of comments on here. Not saying I have the answer(s), but enough knowledge to laugh at the stupidity on here.

Why yes, I am indeed paying attention. Just because you pat yourself on the back and say, "Wow, ain't I kool? Look, I done says somp'in' really dumb cuz a Lib says I be a punk if I don't'n give 'ems an answer." doesn't mean you have a clue. Based upon your "solutions", yes, you are clueless and laughable.

Ok then, you have the floor. Share some of your knowledge with the rest of us. Don't just call my suggestions "clueless and laughable". Explain WHY you think they are (ahem) unwise. At least I put something out there, and it wasn't to look cool or to prove I'm not a punk. Politics should stop at the water's edge. Foreign policy is too serious to be left to amateurs, whether in our State Dept. or elsewhere. What happens in Ukraine may be a defining moment for the future of US national security. Based on your superior "knowledge of what is actually happening" there, tell us what policy course you recommend - and WHY. Don't be overly simplistic. I'm all ears...

Conservatives pick and choose what part of the Constitution they want to follow, just like the lefties. See the Patriot Act, NDAA and Citizen's United. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

You still didn't answer the question you stupid ignorant warmonger.

You'd probably do exactly the same thing the Bushie NeoCons did with Georgia. Piss your pants and do nothing.

Us "lefties" would gather NATO and the UN and decide on sanctions and stick with them until the Russians cry like little girls. Looks like the Russkies want to negotiate on it to see if they can avoid tightening sanctions, but it is more us to the Europeans who are much more closely affected. I don't think Mexico is going to take Texas away from us or Canada take Maine if we let the Russkies take away Crimea no matter how pussy our President might be or not.

I'll post just a few things:

First, I was not trying to single out your posts. When I said "your solutions" I was intending to make it a general comment about all the posters on this thread--I do apologize for the way I worded that and making it seem as if I was trying to single out your posts more than others--I was not.

But as to saying much more, no I will not. That would not be a prudent thing to do now (and if you look at my posting history, I have never shied away from saying things because I would get attacked on here). I don't care to talk about any ongoing political situations if I have confidential knowledge. Best to leave it as I stated--lots of people love to speculate on this and other "What I would do" kind of posts while missing many key pieces of the facts.

Putin's clumsy and obvious pretext for invasion in Ukraine is now starting with "protestors" taking over government buildings and agitating for referendum on independence. If Obama can't figure out how to stop this, next thing you know some Cubans will take over city hall in Miami and demand referendum to join with Cuban speaking brethren back in Cuba!!!
