bonnie Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 PALIN MOCKED IN 2008 FOR WARNING PUTIN MAY INVADE UKRAINE IF OBAMA ELECTED by TONY LEE 28 Feb 2014, 12:44 PM During the 2008 presidential campaign, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin warned that if Senator Barack Obama were elected president, his "indecision" and "moral equivalence" may encourage Russia's Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine. Palin said then: After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next. For those comments, she was mocked by the high-brow Foreign Policy magazine and its editor Blake Hounshell, who now is one of the editors of Politico magazine. In light of recent events in Ukraine and concerns that Russia is getting its troops ready to cross the border into the neighboring nation, nobody seems to be laughing at or dismissing those comments now. Hounshell wrote then that Palin's comments were "strange" and "this is an extremely far-fetched scenario." "And given how Russia has been able to unsettle Ukraine's pro-Western government without firing a shot, I don't see why violence would be necessary to bring Kiev to heel," Hounshell dismissively wrote. Palin made her remarks on the stump after Obama's running mate Joe Biden warned Obama supporters to "gird your loins" if Obama is elected because international leaders may test or try to take advantage of him.

That means you think Bush was spineless in letting Russia invade the Georgia. How do you suppose Obama would have stopped this happening?

bonnie Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 LOL, spineless. That means you think Bush was spineless in letting Russia invade the Georgia. How do you suppose Obama would have stopped this happening? With "spineless" I was referring more to his "current stern warning" which coming from Obama is rather funny. Just as his big chest thumping over Syria. In general there are very few countries that have any respect for our "fearless" leader As for Bush,he doesn't have a thing to do with this. Many things about Bush I did not like. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Moderators lazarus Posted March 2, 2014 Moderators Posted March 2, 2014 Bush is relevant because it reveals how intellectually honest your are? Should Obama have put troops in Syria? Should Obama threaten war with Russia What do you think he should do? Bush made some condemnatory statements but kept out of it. Very wise.

bonnie Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 I guess saying this makes it easy to avoid the point. Well,you guess wrong. This was more about Palin. Every word she said was mocked. Remember the death penalty issue. Obama has little credibility with most other nations,his warning was a joke concerning Syria crossing the right line.Now his "stern" warning to Russia isn't anymore credible. Palin simply said that what Russia is doing now was a very real possibility with Obama in charge. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
