Obama’s tough talk is nothing more than weak appeasement policy

Obama, Putin, Sanctions, Ukraine
Proletariat to Vladimir Putin: Banning U.S. Senators and officials from visiting Russia, including Sen. ‘Little Dick’ Durbin is a colossal waste of time. Obama bought-and-paid-for senators and officials are far too busy working feverishly to bring down the United States of America to bother visiting Russia.
If it’s a socialist state you dream of for America, Obama’s already doing the job. Since 2008, U.S. senators and Obama officials have had their very own ‘Land of the Czars’, and the state of its health is getting more worrisome by day. Holding world attention enrapt, the ‘Spar Wars’ between America and Russia is mostly garish window dressing. Were it not for Obama’s metrosexual signature, we could write Spar Wars off as “Boys will be boys”. Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin may have hit the nail on the head when he accused President Barack Obama of being a “prankster”. “I think some prankster prepared the draft of this Act of the US president.” (Twitter)

Obama is freezing the non-existing American assets of 11 Russian and Ukrainian officials, banning them from using U.S. banks and banning their travel to the U.S. Only a “prankster” would zero in on sanctioning seven Russian and four Ukrainian officials rather than do something that really counts, like restarting U.S. missile defense projects in Eastern Europe, including walking back his 2009 cancellation of Poland’s missile shield. “Comrade@BarackObama, What should do those who have neither accounts or property abroad?” “Or you didn’t think about it?” Rogozin asks. Good questions that cut through all the bull, and Rogozin at least got the salutation of “Comrade” spot on. Surely the Russians know that Obama is big on hit lists as Christians, Tea Party patriots, members of the military and gun owners can readily attest. Not to be outdone, Boy Toy Putin is set to respond to Obama’s sanctions of Russian officials with his own retaliation list. Some everyday Americans are seething that the Spar Wars between Putin and Obama are giving Dick Durbin something he should never have: publicity. The hollow chest pounding of Durbin, who told The Daily Beast in a statement Monday: “My Lithuanian-born mother would be proud her son made Vladimir Putin’s American enemies list,” can be heard all the way over to Crimea. Putin’s get-even list is making a hero out of America’s most unpopular senator, John McCain, who told The Daily Beast that he expects to be on the list and is happy about it. “You think I’m not going to be on it?” McCain boasted. “I would be honored to be on that list.” Notice that Sen. John McCain’s whistle-stop weekend trip to Kiev to meet with Ukrainian leaders resulted in the overwhelming referendum that rejoined Crimea and Mother Russia. “I guess I’m going to have to try to withdraw my money from my secret account in St. Petersburg,” he joked. Durbin is getting Russian VIP treatment because he recently co-authored a resolution criticizing Russia’s invasion of Crimea. But far more deadly are the domestic resolutions he keeps pushing for borderless amnesty. Putin would score more brownie point laughs with Americans if he placed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Conservative back-stabber Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on his ridiculous retaliation list. Meanwhile, the fast-talking clowns on the Crimean stage are getting all the laughs not just in Russia, but in the watching Free West, all of whom recognize that Obama’s tough talk is nothing more than weak appeasement policy. “Our actions today demonstrate our firm commitment to holding those responsible accountable for undermining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine,” Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said in a statement. “We are thoroughly prepared to take increasing and responsive steps that would impose further political and economic costs.  At the same time, we want to be clear that a path of de-escalation remains available to the Russians, should they choose to use it." They’re sabre rattling, bellowing and talking tough while all the while being abundantly clear “that a path of de-escalation remains available to the Russians, should they choose to use it.”
