Amateur hour now in full session at the WH as Potus skips his NSA meeting on Russia and Ukraine

SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine — Russian armed forces effectively seized control of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula on Saturday, as President Vladimir V. Putin had the Russian Parliament grant him broad authority to use military force in Ukraine in response to deepening instability there.

Russian troops stripped of identifying insignia and military vehicles bearing the black license plates of Russia’s Black Sea force swarmed the major thoroughfares of Crimea and occupied major government buildings, closing the main airport and solidifying what had been a covert effort to control the largely pro-Russian region of Ukraine.

In Moscow, Mr. Putin convened the upper house of Parliament to forcefully denounce President Obama and obtain authorization to protect Russian citizens and soldiers stationed in Crimea as well as other parts of Ukraine.

Barack Obama is the worst president and commander-in-chief in history.
He's totally incompetent.  He's pro muslim.  He's pro communist.  He despises the military.  And he's an appeaser.

Because of that,  if he engages in this,  his decisions could only make matters worse.  So why in hell would you want to encourage him. If you keep this up then we can only conclude that you're pro muslim and pro commie like he is.

No worrie's Bob, Putin is backing off, nice little piece on CNBC this morning. He said he never intended to invade.

SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine — The prime minister of Crimea, the autonomous Ukrainian republic seized by Russian military forces, said on Tuesday that a majority of Ukrainian military units on the peninsula had surrendered and pledged allegiance to his pro-Russian government, and that local officials were working to speed up a referendum on independence.
