Russia might invade Ukraine if Obama wins, Palin warns
BY BLAKE HOUNSHELL OCTOBER 22, 2008 - 09:09 AM

Speaking Tuesday at a rally in a Reno, Nevada, Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin had a little fun with her counterpart on the Democratic ticket, thanking Joe Biden for warning Barack Obama's supporters to "gird your loins" for an international crisis if the Illinois senator wins.

Palin helpfully offered four scenarios for such a crisis, one of which was this strange one:
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.

As we've said before, 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. Watch the upcoming parliamentary elections in December to see if Moscow gets the pliable new government it wants.

And all of Obama's sheep predicted we would be more loved and respected by the rest of the world under Obama's magical leadership. Wrong on all counts.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

We could have sent Richard Simmons over there with his short shorts and sparkling tank top and gotten the same amount of respect as Hillary and her stupid plastic button. These idiots have done their very best to make us look weak in the eyes of leaders who only respect strength. Reagan rolling in his grave.

After issuing stern warnings to Russia not to invade Crimea, the administration, confronted with the actual presence of Russian troops on the ground, philosophized about whether it was really an invasion, suggesting that a more apt term might be an “uncontested arrival.” Former chess champion Garry Kasparov reacted with stunned indignation

And you would like us to do what? Attack Russia? Send troops to Ukraine? Yeah, that worked so well for us in Iraq and Afghanistan...... Nothing makes us feel so good as Republicans on the war path.
