Putin Flexes His Renowned Muscles

In 2008 Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin opined that, if Barack Obama were elected to the Presidency, Russia would invade Ukraine. She was universally derided and mocked.

Today, Russia invaded Ukraine.

Oh. Excuse me. Russia conducted some military "exercises." In Ukraine. (After the conclusion of the Olympics, of course.)

Obama took to the airwaves, promising that there would be "costs" for an outright invasion. Somebody else -- can't remember who -- suggested that The USA might boycott the G-8 Summit in Sochi in May.

Putin must be shaking in his boots.

Wonder who'll pick up the tab for those "costs?"

No, I didn't really think there would be any question, Mr. and Mrs. American Taxpayer and/or Soldier.

Damn.

  1. Yeah... Obama and his "costs." I'm sure that's keeping Vlad up at night.

    Interesting times.
