It entertains me to see how much this board is worshiping that despot in Putin. I get the partisan politics bullshite, but find it pretty sad that we as a nation are actually jerking off over the thought of Putin getting one up over us...because we dislike the man in the oval office.

I can't stand Obama but I don't think he's completely at fault. The cancellation of the missile shield in Poland probably didn't help and neither did the response to Russia's invasion of Georgia. I think Putin fantasizes about bringing Russia back to it's 20th century glory. I believe he will continue to encroach his way into Eastern Europe.

World events don't happen in a vacuum and Foreign Policy doesn't fit into Left vs Right arguments as well as most people would like it to.

Clinton/Bush/Obama all deserve equal blame.

Western Europe deserves even more blame.

Putin deserves the lion's share of the blame for being psychopath.

He is the only one who deserves any blame. Blaming anyone else is like saying the murder victim is at fault for being at the wrong place in the wrong time.

The lack of response to his incursion into Georgia (and admittedly Georgia kinda screwed the goose there) empowered him to go into Crimea because he knows the west won't do a damn thing but talk.

Watching the jerk offs here fawn over Putin is disgusting.
