ReplyDeleteThere are a ton of questions and unknowns with this event. One thing is certain it gives Putin a free ticket for a lot of moves he wouldn't have otherwise.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your countryman WNU, I'm only surprised it hasn't happened sooner.
"Sorry about your countryman WNU"
ReplyDeleteYeah I also want to say that.
Let's be clear, I am making ridiculing (lampooning is a better word since it rhymes with harpooning) Barack Insane Obama and a certain class of politicians (Democrats & RINOs).
So Putin is going to find a film maker, blame him a lock him up.
Putin will pin this on some syrian group and up the ante
