when history repeats itself.
2. Obama's response to Putin ?
RAYS ,   NH,USA   (03.17.14)
"ok ,do whatever you wish. It won't deflect me from more important matters ,like crushing Israel."
3. Sanctions work both ways
Peter   (03.17.14)
The US doesnt have a monopoly in sanctions. Here are some sanctions that russia can do by itself: 1.-Reduce, not cut, the flow of gas and oil to europe. Prices are very sensitive to supply. The rise in prices may very well compensate the russians for lower sales. 2.-Default on the 700 billions that russian companies (not the government) owe western banks. 3.-Confiscate the assets of western companies in russia. Over 6000 german companies are in russia.
4. The President of the USA
Greg Majesky ,   Fort Lauderdale   (03.17.14)
I have never met or ever known of a fool like this guy. He doesn't try at all to appear like he is attempting to do his job. Getting involved in nonsense for theatrics is all he knows.
5. Russian currency rebounds ,...
split ,   US   (03.17.14)
I can hear Putin singing in his banja ,... Oh what a beautiful morning, Oh what a beautiful day, I've got a wonderful feeling, Everything's going my way.
6. some history
(03.17.14)
Putin wanted to work together with the US to help both countries prosper and fight their common enemy, radical Islam. Putin even voted for Obama's R2P in Libya. The it turned out that Obama lied to him, turning R2P into an inhuman and illegal regime change. Since then Putin has treated Obama with all the respect he deserves: none.
7. Hahaha Russia crushed the Nazis and the west
Al   (03.18.14)
has been pretending ever since. Russia is Russia..its a grizzly bear while the EU and the USA are nothing. Putin tells Obama to take a walk, so what does Obama do? He pressures Israel to commit suicide so he can look good. He has failed at everything he has tried to do in the past 5 years. Russia will keep on doing what it wants to do. As for the Jews in the FSU...what are you waiting for?
8. I don't see Russian gunships.....
Robert ,   Australia   (03.19.14)
....mowing down innocent reporters.
