Meaningless words from a failed man living a fantasy in a Socialist and Muslim Brotherhood dreamworld
3. What we are all seeing is a dog and pony show...America is
Al   (03.24.14)
bankrupt. She has no wish to embroil herself in any foreign hot spots. America had her head handed to her in Afghanistan and Iraq. America is bankrupt, spent and in need of a complete overhaul. The current President will be out within 3 years and till then America will limp along like a wooded dog. Putin knows this and so he will continue to do what he is doing. Within 2 months America and the EU will learn to live with an expansive Russia. Russia knows this as does the US Senate and House of Representatives. End of Story.

The euroasian continent? He has alliance with china and top eu country germany? Both russia and china Hold Veto power in the u.n. ? If this Bozo the Clown doesn't cease this nonsence Then eu will be shopping for petrol, natural gas and propane which Russia provides? The moment this yahoo oblabla said he would isolate putin, that moment I knew he was done (b.H.o.)!!! This Putz hasn't learned a damn thing in almost two terms!!!
5. If Russian oligarchs fear that they will

loose their money and their villas in Europe, they will try to change their leadership. But for the average Russians that day won't be a day of happiness.
6. I think it is good precedent
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.24.14)
Keep in mind that Crimea is sovereign soil. By contrast, Judea and Samaria are nonsovereign. Israel should take advantage of the opportunity presented, and annex Judea and Samaria. Its Arab population can be repatriated to Jordan as undesirable aliens. The author echoed precisely what I've been saying since the whole issue erupted -- Putin won't stop with Crimea. Moldova is next; then Belarus. Estonia thereafter. Lithuania and Latvia have nothing to offer, but Putin might take them, just to prove that he can and that the West won't do squat. Note to the EU: Worried about natural gas supplies? No reason. How extremely fortunate for you that Israel sits atop two of the largest natural gas fields ever discovered. If you behave nicely towards Israel, we'll let you have some, now that Russia is going to double the price or cut you off completely. Of course, you do realize that it means NO boycotts and a great deal of enthusiastic and vocal support for the State of Israel, which is about to include Judea and Samaria. Blackmail? No. Powerful persuasion. But Europeans come rather cheaply, and are easy to buy. Probably can buy the entire European Union for a couple of dollars. I couldn't have scripted the past two weeks better if I had written the events myself!
7. Sanctions?
Mark ,   Lviv, Ukraine   (03.24.14)
And meanwhile, back in Russia, Putin laughs, and laughs, and sends more thousands of troops to the Ukrainian border and tells the west that it's just exercises. Then he goes back to his office and laughs, and laughs and watches Obama say he's going to make Putin's life more difficult. and laughs, and laughs, and. . . .
8. Close russian embassies and send them home.

9. He Is Doing Exactly What He Wants To Do
Dan ,   USA   (03.26.14)
and that is to weaken America.
10. THE EU KNEW RUSSIA WOULD NOT ALLOW NATO INTO UKRAINE
stude ham   (03.26.14)
and the EU should have consulted Russia BEFORE trying out this brazen EU expansionist matter.
11. #6. Israels gas reserves are minuscule
Peter ,   Jerusalem   (03.27.14)
Israel's gas reserve amount to around 2 billion barrels of oil equivalent. That is worth 1 year of european oil and gas consumption, if it could be extracted and shipped in a single year. As it stands now the gas is barely enough to supply Israel, with 7 million people, and you think it can supply 500 million europeans.
12. Who dislikes Israel more Obama or Putin?
