After five years of playing golf and giving speeches (two or more per day for five stinking years). Obama is now embarrassing the US with his ineptness.

Part of the problem in dealing with the Russian "invasion" of Ukraine,  is embedded in the fact that much of the population is Russian speaking and sympathetic to Russian dominance.  You can see that Eastern Ukraine, fully half of the nation,  is colored in light blue (grey?) and is Russian Speaking.  

Here,  we have the Ukraine (red print) with its Crimea Peninsula (not named on the map) extending into the Black Sea with Georgia to its immediate East.  Crimea is where the confrontation has reached a military pitch.  No shots have been fired,  but,  there is simply no way to stop Russia from doing whatever it has planned for the region.  Sadly,  Obama has spent the first 5 years of his presidency doing nothing in terms of diplomacy.  We have no military options already in place,  as we should.  Obama canceled the missile defense shields promised to Poland and the Czech Republic,  getting absolutely nothing in return for this favor to Russia.  

While Obama is talking about the costs of this Russian action,  Britain is backing away from any serious involvement.  Germany gets 75% of its energy from Russia,  so count Germany out.  

And the Viet Nam traitor,  John Kerry,  announced,  today,  that the United States "does not want confrontation with Russia."  There is no talk of a military option,  no movement of force of any kind to the surround seas and/or region  -  just nothing.    

Know how this sounds?  Let me paint a picture:  If or when you find yourself suddenly surrounded by a gang of seriously tough guys,  the first thing you will say is :  "I don't want no trouble."  That is what our leaders have chosen to say to the tough guy,  V Putin.   They sound like cowards,  folks unwilling to stand up to the bully on the block;  heck,  even refusing to admit that Putin IS the bully on the block.  LaLa land is where our leadership lives.
