    and then on to more fund raising
    careful NZ not too many americans pay attention to negative stuff anymore. and i doubt many understand the nuance of this situation. we are as weak as we have ever been as a nation w a wet noodle celebrity the people elected king TWICE so clearly we aren't present and accounted for. and europe isn't going to do anything about it since he controls the oil they use. so who's going to deal with him?
    also the separatists are controlling the ground where the plane crashed and moscow is going to get that black box.

    You old guys should remember the British invasion.
    Brits are everywhere now, like Greeks in the capitals of the Roman empire.

    yes but the the brits basically took over w a clever use of flags
    they just landed everywhere, looked around and admired the places they landed
    then came the ominous question to the locals
    "yes of course its beautiful, but do you have a flag?"

    Yes, no doubt. But after the sturm and drang, nothing will happen. Everyone already knows that Putin will kill, whether by design or fuck-up, and it means little in the long run to him.
    KGB. Collateral damage.
    Did you see the email (or facebook entry, I forgot) that was deleted, directly after the hit, by a rebel which essentialy read, "we just took out a plane with a _____missile. Be warned--- don't fly over our airspace".
    WTF kind of mind set is that? No tactical or strategic reason at all; almost schoolyard, except for the deadly result. Gloating over a commercial jet take down? It's like the bully that no one can do shit about because everyone is afraid of him...so he continues on and on.
    It's a game played by ruthless paid mercenaries that don't give a shit about innocent human lives to prove a point. We've seen it before, and it will continue, unabated, for as long as Putin deems neccessary.
    It occurred to me that the Chicago fire, in about 30 hours, destroyed most of the city back in the day and killed about 300 people...a terrible disaster. And approximately the same amount taken out by a launch button pushed that took probably 30 seconds total.
    Assassination, anyone?

    This will be left behind like the other Malaysian plane with the communists involved
    Like back in the 70's when a plane of anti.communist researchers about to drop facts of kgb in our gov was taken out.
    This time it was the top aids researchers in the world on way to conference.
    Putin is kgb so we all make the assumptions that his gov is kgb writ large and everything propaganda or a conspiracy to hurt the US.
    But we recently had a cia president, so at very least a goose and gander situation.
    That makes everything spy vs spy and I'm tired of that game.
    Powers and principalities that are above our paygrade.

    From dawn to now and the future, flags are the way you present the colors of your spirit to others. Samurai carried a flag on their backpack so others could know where he was coming from.
    Ninjas would learn and spoof others flags.
    Flags are signs.
    You know what it means to be red with passion.
    Or pure as white snow.
    And then there's the blues.

    But what I meant with the British invasion was 1812, the revenge of the king.
    Followed by financial, cultural, and other types of British invasions.

    Look at Rome.
    Founded by Turks who took out natives
    Raised by Greeks who originated from Turks
    Invaded by Germans who became the times new Romans
    So these German Romans became the holders of power while Greeks, Turks, and natives made up the four castes of empire.

    And the British aristocracy of empire was also German.
    Our nation modeled on German British aristocracy.
    Beatles had to go to Germany before they invaded the US.
    And all that Britain music lead to massive cultural change here.
    Like Martin Luther and the other rock stars of the time who gave the US German Protestantism through the Brits.
    After ww2 the key Germans came over here. Then a new form of protestantism started to rise.

    Well in past we kill civs too.
    Shot down commercial flights of Iranians if I recall
    So maybe Obama feels he can't stand up for fear of being called on our own sins.
    And that would be the wrong move.
    That was then this is now and US does not need to fear being called out.
    Obama was not weak, he did put the blame squarely on Russia.
    Germany and the Euro zone need to man up here.
    US sanctions will only make Brazil Russia Iran China northkorea and their bedfellows even closer on all fronts. Mexico might jump ship too if the bricks pull up the brinks trucks of investment. That would be weird.
    Russia will be forced to pull support for the rebels and even help put down the rebels in Ukraine. Will the eurozone do that to Putin?
    It would roll back their economy if Russia Europe relations get cold.
    Malaysia is a real wild card out there. I think they our ally?

    there will be no response from europe or anyone else
    nearly all the oil supplied to europe goes through the ukraine from russia
    the world is weak in the face of this tyrant and if you do not think obama was/is weak then we just live in different realities
    but then that goes without saying
    the only other option is he has lit the fires he always intended to and is sitting back laughing as he watches them burn

    I meant the words were not weak, he blamed Russia.
    Strength can't be shown at this point without a major change to world economy and the status quo. Big time.
    What you may want would inevitably bring ww3.
    As you said Ukraine is the cross where the oil flows.

    i don't have a problem with the words
    i have a problem that those words should have been delivered by the leader of the free world
    a man
    the president of the united states
    maybe you consider yourself evolved enough to hear those words delivered by an obviously overwhelmed woman in a position she never expected to be in
    but the perception of the entire planet earth is WEAK SAUCE
    he wanted the job but now he cowers in the moment where he is most needed to show strength
    the "man" that we elected president goes on fund raisers instead of standing in the face of the latest raging storm
    he's been an observer for almost his entire presidency but this...
    obama is a bureaucrat in the oval office and its pathetic
    what a shame that people are willing to accept this as representative of what this once great country was

    Did Obama not deliver the words? I only saw a short clip.
    Or is Obama not the leader of the free world what you mean?
    What part of the world is that exactly?
    Presidents are bureaucrats who got to the top of the bureau.
    Senators chosen to preside over the council who then operate without getting the counsel of the council are Caesars and not presidents.
    I'm sure you aren't a fan of having a czar and neither would I.

    Congratulations to the Daytona Beach father who beat the sexual abuser of his child unconscience. Nice going dad.
    I've always said I would do the same if I came upon something like that with my children or loved one, and here's someone who freely admitted he did so when the police arrived, who he called, BTW.
    So far, this guy has not been charged with anything.
    Maybe Florida isn't as ass backwards as we all seem to say it is.
    They sure got this right so far.

    got a buddy who served time 'defending his 14 year old daughter' when the 'predator' was another 17 year old minor. Daughter was asking for it, encouraging the 17 year old but still..

    Golden state courts didn't see it the same as FL...

    Note to self: you can't beat them senseless until they're 18.
