Russia: Regional Power?

In March of this year our President Barack Obama described Russia as a "regional power".He was responding to a question about the ramifications of Russia's annexation of Crimea. He went further and said "..Russia didn't pose a security threat to the United States."Oh? What region would Obama be speaking about? Russia has 11 time zones. It is 5592 miles wide and has 6,600,000 square miles in its borders.Russia spans two continents. By definition "regional power" is not accurate. As to the non threat of Russia to the United States, Russia has 3281 active strategic nuclear warheads which is only 300 less than U.S. stock pile.The word "strategic"translates "can reach target". This further translates "regions are not noticed".Which further translates " you can't hide".Those impressive numbers and capabilities didn't impress our Chicago social worker.He was raised on fiat money and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Those two alchemical influences didn't prepare him for the real world. Obama wants more sanctions levied on Russia.He hasn't a clue.Woe is us.

Crimea And Ukraine : Why Blame Mother Russia?

I may be missing something. Who hasn't. But didn't the voting citizens of Crimea ask Mother Russia if they could come home? What's a mother to do? Say "No ". Why is the West upset? Could it be the military-industrial complex witnessing their waning of Middle East opportunities default to a new strt up cold war opportunities? Could it be Putin's opposition to homosexual organizing of the young and tender that couples homosexual lobbyists with strange bedfellows of the military hardware lobbyists that push congress and the European Union for more and more sanctions? And don't forget the Zionists. They thrive on chaos because it takes the spotlight off of their crimes.The real instigator of the Crimean separation are the Crimeans themselves.Should we sanction Crimea? That won't happen. There's no money or headlines in that gambit.
