Ahhhh, ok.

What did he say in his speech? Did he say we should attack Ukraine and Venezuela?

I bet he hardly has to put much effort into it, eh?

Some of us had to learn the hard way (no pun intended, but hey).

What seemed like people in the streets for freedom, was possibly neo-nazi usurpers. You've got Ukraine between a rock and a hard place. Getting squeezed by the IMF/EU austerity cops and Russian Energy interests on the other side. Plus we have media outlets here, some of them aligned with the neo-cons, who don't mind spinning events so as to help their own global interests. Damn! And I'm sure it's even more complicated than that.

I am sure that most of the Ukranians would be just fine with the rest of the world minding our own business, and letting them sort it out.

Right on cue, we have jackasses like Sen. Lyndsey Graham pouncing like a cat to catnip at the prospect of attacking President Obama because he hasn't called us into full military def-con 5 yet.
