Peters

LT. COL. RALPH PETERS: Putin establishes facts on the ground. Look, the vote in the Crimean parliament today, begging to be allowed to join Russia — it’s a done deal. The plebiscite coming up in less than two weeks is a done deal. Crimea now belongs to Russia. As I’ve said on FOX before, the only remaining question is how much more of Ukraine Putin will take and when he will take it.

But the weakness, the lack of unity between the EU and the United States — the greed, the financial cowardice — is absolutely stunning, and Putin isn’t going to stop, and he’s going to do worse.

This administration lives in a dream world that negotiations solve everything. This administration, look, they still indulge in this fantasy that you can talk Putin out of Crimea. It is absolutely insane. Putin is not crazy, he’s not delusional; our president and this administration are delusional.

ALISYN CAMEROTA: But it sounds like, Ralph, what you’re saying is that it would take a military build-up of the kind that you just explained in order to get his attention. That’s not something the U.S. is prepared to do.

PETERS: Well, look at the START treaty. There’s no cost. It doesn’t have to increase our defense budget significantly or anything else. But Obama wants that as part of his legacy even though the U.S. gave up valuable dual-use systems. The Russians gave up junk. Stationing forces, offering to station forces in the Baltic and Poland doesn’t have to be extremely costly, and the EU could pony up for that. It doesn’t have to take a huge Reagan-era military build-up, although, by God, Reagan’s build-up certainly worked against the Soviets and brought them to economic collapse. There are innovative solutions and answers, but you have to be brave, you have to have courage, you have to have vision. You can’t pretend that negotiations will solve all the problems when your enemy — and Putin is our enemy — solves them with military force, establishes facts on the ground you cannot change with blather and visa restrictions. This is shameful.

Charles Krauthammer on Obama Foreign Policy – DELUSIONAL

Charles Krauthammer lays out the situation in the Ukraine – and US foreign policy in general – in single syllable words. Until he gets to “delusional”.

This is astonishing. Our leaders are unable to muster anything that the Europeans will join that will hurt Putin.

We can remember back to 2008 when one of the big reasons we were supposed to be thankfully voting for Senator Barack Obama was that adults would be in charge of foreign policy. No more “cowboy antics”. World leaders were going to respect the US. Heck, the people around the world would like us. It would be spring in the Middle East. Muslims would stop killing their neighbors, and each other, and a new era of peace would be ushered in.

Newly elected President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for just being, well, not-Bush. He was a visionary. He was the most intelligent guy in the room. He may not have been the “Prince of Peace”, but he sure was the “President of Peace”.

He was everything. He was what we’ve been waiting for.

We apologize for inflicting the following on you, but it’s important we remember just how narcissistic our Imperial President really is.

Our head hurts. It’s not like we weren’t warned. The amazing thing is that he got away with this sham twice. Shame on our country, and most of all, shame on the three million people who voted for John McCain and then sat on their couches and refused to vote for Mitt Romney because he wasn’t [fill in the blank] enough.

Krauthammer is right, delusional, but Charles doesn’t go far enough. It’s not just his foreign policy, domestic policy is no better. But that’s a subject for another day.

Whatever you have on your calendar this year, come November do not sit on your couch. Go to the polls and vote against any Democrat that is running in your races. Don’t just vote against the Democrat, vote for the Republican even if you have to hold your nose to do it. The only way to stop the agenda is take back the Senate.

If we don’t take the Senate you can be sure Benghazi will be forgotten. The IRS will not only continue to run roughshod over taxpayers’ rights, they’ll ramp up the attack. When other federal agencies run by long time Democrat “civil servants” see that nobody does anything about the IRS they’ll get in the game too.

Before November work for the Republican in your state/district. On election day VOTE and vote Republican.

Your children and grandchildren are depending on you
