Will we get a retraction from Fox/Rush/TD.com poli board for their shortsighted and ultimately moronic criticism of Obama's handling of Putin over the past year? Or will you just move on to the next made up fear mongering nonsense instead?

Has Russia given Crimea back to Ukraine? Has Russia stopped assisting the rebels in eastern Ukraine? Does the rest of eastern Europe no longer worry about Russia invading them?

I was talking about this a few hours ago. Whether he deserves all the credit or not, Obama has put Putin on life support. Gotta give him some credit.

You fricking liberal idiot.

All Russia crumbling is going to do is take our economy down with it, set Russia up as desperate which might make them use nukes or other forms of war to strike back at America.

China is in cahoots with Russia and when they sell off the 1.25 trillion in treasury bonds our economy is going to tank via higher interest rates.

Keep thinking the global economy isn't interconnected.

Liberals know nothing about money or economical interchanges.

This is mostly of Putin's doing. They have huge systemic problems:

1) Population decline
2) Eastern Russia identifying more with China
3) Radical Muslims in Caucasus
4) Corruption
5) Stagnant economy

The modest sanctions imposed on Putin probably helped, but that doesn't mean Obama couldn't have done more. At the very least, he should have supplied the Ukrainians with arms and money to repel the Russian invasion.

Look, Putin is super sexy to poli board posters:

Short
Bald
Super conservative
Pale white skin
Believes in dumb political stuff

*editing to include "uninitiated homosexual"

Besides the inherently flawed premise of reducing something extremely complicated to a single causal element (President Obama's actions), the evidence at the very least, points to other economic factors (falling gas prices) being a major contributor. Even then, I don't think there is enough evidence to so strongly evaluate Russia and its future.

So basically this is either a dishonest or ignorant argument (or both).

Has Obama ridden a horse with his shirt off?

Has he earned a black belt?

Has he turned into a white man?

No? Then he's a huge pussy .

All of the liberal posters on this board just seem so friggin' angry and sarcastic all the time. Maybe it's just a reaction to being surrounded by conservatives.

Sanctions appear to be working. It was a good policy decision. I admit that.

Nevertheless, Russia straight up invaded and occupied parts of Ukraine, a sovereign European country. I think the ideas many expressed at the time and continue to express were and are a lot more than "fear mongering nonsense."

I must have missed Princess Soetoro's retraction for his mocking dismissal of Romney's characterization of Russia as a geopolitical foe. The dimwittted lapdogs of the media were beside themselves over the Princess' "the 1980s called, they want their foriegn policy back", remark.

Romney has pretty clearly been proven right.

I don't see why they should have to apologize.

Also, if there ever was a time to fear another country, it is during a collapse or low point.

This is the time that country's do crazy things.

Hate to tell ya but their economy collapse is just a preview before the global economic collapse which will lead to a one world currency. However I don't believe in the whole nwo takeover or anything like that.

I would like to thank Sarah Palin and her "Drill Baby, Drill Campaign" too.
