economic sanctions

Increase them as we go and they don't respond.

eventually the people wont like their KGB cowboy when they feel the pain.

Russians have never really had to suffer this impact yet

LOL... ok desh... so, do you think Russia will respond with sanctions of their own? Who do you think will be hurt more? The Russian economy that derives the bulk of their GDP from commodities that Europe and the world need to buy? Or Russian sanctions on those that buy from them?

 

[Truth Detector]

He sent humanitarian aid through out military, put sanctions in place, and by December 2008 the Russians were pulling out most of their troops.

Obama came into office and lifted the sanctions.

Anything else you need to know?

Of course it doesn't make it okay. The point is; it's been done before in recent history and Bush's actions resulted in a failure.

How did they result in failure; did you miss Taft's response to your dimwitted question? Re-read it and explain how it was a failure.

Having learned that, our president may be able to turn this around.

Obama has learned nothing and knows nothing about what real leadership is. Nothing will be turned around by his actions. They will merely feed the laughter already being heard from Russia.

Again; you cannot lead from behind and you cannot make threats after declaring to the world that the world is none of America's business.

Essentially, Obama's rhetorical hens have come to roost.

Now your starting to get the idea.


they depend on foreign countries for this new found wealth huh

 

[evince]

They Love this new Russia.

they think Putin gave it to them.

they are in a for a real lesson

 

[evince]

You will LICK Putins ass no matter what happens here.

You are party over country even while you deny your own party is yours.

Your a fucking sociopath

I am disagreeing with you. You are a fucking idiot. Europe is dependent on Russia. Unless Europe suddenly stops using oil and nat gas, they are dependent on Russia. You fucking retard.

 

[maineman]

and?

And I suppose you see no parallels there...

 

[MAGA MAN]

Oh... because all I could see was your bigotry. Perhaps if you want people to answer your question, you should leave out your bigoted comments. That may make them more inclined to do so.

MM want's an answer, and the way I see it his question is 'what would you do about it now?' This ignores the real problem, that The Obama showed the world how weak he is. One of the problems that this created was that Russia took Ukraine. At this point, there is nothing can be done about Ukraine, since the train has left the station. What needs to be done is to get rid of The Obama so more shit like this doesn't happen.

I see plenty of parallels... and I think our response is going to be the same.

Thta is just unmitigated crap, short of a war there was nothing that could be done. Any non partisan observer could see that to be true.

yeah because their machines cant use non Russian oil huh?

[USFREEDOM911]

If he wants to carry a gun there what business is it of anybody else?

Nothing except for the fact that he lied about smuggling it into Mexico and acted like he hadn't committed a crime or done anything wrong.

That and he's a narcissist who believes his wants supersedes any existing laws.

 

[MAGA MAN]

You ignore the fact that there was a war. What else would you call Russia's troops raiding the Ukrainian naval headquarters? Any reasonable person and student of history would understand that "peace through strength" is always the best way to avoid an invasion by foreign occupiers.

 

[Taft2016]

Ossetia is still under Russian control... fyi

So why then, did Obama lift the sanctions in May 2010 that Bush put in place at the end of his presidency?

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Dear leftist moron; when you point at everyone who disagrees with your glaring stupidity calling them racists, it becomes meaningless.

But alas; you're a dunce of epic proportions, you can't possibly comprehend what I am saying or anything beyond the moronic leftist talking points you have been spoonfed to parrot like a brain dead dunce.

We try to make it a point to not reply to evince's lunacy; because all it does is encourage her.
But laughing at her is OK.

 

[Phantasmal]

So why then, did Obama life the sanctions in May 2010 that Bush put in place at the end of his presidency?

He lifted the sanctions in order to get Russia to agree to sanctions against Iran. Iran being seen as a bigger threat to international security at the time.

 

[Taft2016]

He lifted the sanctions in order to get Russia to agree to sanctions against Iran. Iran being seen as a bigger threat to international security at the time.

That's fine, but it doesn't make a case for Russian troops still being in Georgia Bush's fault, does it?
