Putin ends the left’s daydream

http://www.suntimes.com/news/huntley/26 ... dream.html

"
Alot of talk from Washington and Western European capitals about the Ukrainian crisis complained that Russia’s Vladimir Putin is some kind of throwback to the 20th or 19th century, as if he could be shamed into conforming to new 21st century norms of international conduct.

The American left has been particularly enthralled with a new age, one world mythology since the election of President Barack Obama. Most of the globe’s problems, in this view, stemmed from the disruptive, embarrassing cowboy antics of George W. Bush. To the liberal mindset, Bush did make the United States something of a great Satan.

Putin’s invasion of Crimea and the sham vote there to be annexed to Russia constituted the nail in the coffin in that wishful thinking. Gone is the notorious “reset” with Moscow, back is the Cold War-like reality of East-West confrontation.

Critics of Obama charge the weakness he projects on the world stage made possible Putin’s bad behavior. More out-of-touch thinking: If only we had a stronger president, all would be well in Ukraine today.

What the Ukrainian crisis proves is that nothing has changed in human nature or the affairs of nations in the 21st century. Evil-minded individuals ruling great nations will still abuse neighboring states, even to the brink of war. Strategic interests, expansionist dreams, national pride, the pull of clan, and suspicion and fear of the other will always influence world events. There will be a Putin in the next century, and a Crimea-like crisis in the one after that."...

The idealists. "Make War No More".
We even have some here who think war is obsolete. Sorry Kerry, just because you live in the 21st century, doesn't mean that there aren't barbarians at the gate.

Not to worry, Hillary is designing new reset buttons that should be online by 2017.

Isn't that just another way to say this: "What the Ukrainian crisis proves is that nothing has changed in human nature or the affairs of nations in the 21st century."

YEP...but, it's put into layperson's terms......

And now Putin is concerned about how Estonia is treating ehtnic Russians living there.
The Estonians ghettotize them into Soviet built block style apartment buildings.
And when I was there, I saw where shopkeepers were refusing to serve Russian speaking customers.
