"'We're the chosen generation," says Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Ukraine's interim prime minister. He's referring to all those who made this winter's European revolution. For the first time since 1654, when Ukrainian Cossacks formed a fateful alliance with Moscow against Polish rulers, Ukrainians are heading back West."
Their timing is terrible. Two decades ago, when the Berlin Wall fell, the West embraced another generation of Eastern Europeans. Ukraine has gotten a different welcoming committee. An economically feeble European Union gorges on Russian energy and dirty money while lecturing Ukraine on Western values but refusing to defend it. Asking for Washington's help against Russian attack, Kiev finds a man "chosen" in the past two presidential elections to get America out of the world's trouble spots.
Vladimir Putin sees a West made soft by money, led by weak men and women, unwilling to make sacrifices to defend their so-called ideals. In the Ukrainian crisis, the image fits. Russia's president is many things, but most of all he is resolute. He took the EU and America's measure and annexed Crimea last month at minimal cost. Ignoring Western pleas for "de-escalation," Russia this weekend invaded eastern Ukraine. Just don't look for video of T-72 tanks rolling across the borders, not yet at least. (read more)

This is Obama floating turd isn't it? One, because that turd looks just like him. Two, because he used that turd to basically shit on Ukraine because even they knew there was nothing he could do short of lip service. Three, Putin took Obama's turd and turned it into a yummy baby ruth.
Eh, so Obama is fucking over some foreigners for a change.
If he wasn't already fucking over that majority of the actual citizen's of the United States, I would get more upset.
Everything old is new again!
History didn't end after all.
History always repeats itself. The actors and the clothing are just different, but more of the same. New boss, same as old boss.
Putin doubled the money spent on military since Obama took office. He looked into Obama's eyes and saw PUSSY!!
In the picture shown, Obama is pleading with Hillary for the reset button. Hillary is laughing, and saying that it was just a prop, and that there isn't a reset button.

Wait, I thought that was the US Airways Twitter feed. Fly the friendly skies!

Well, yeah.
Send over the gays and lesbians!
They'll kick Russkie ass!
And exactly what is it we're supposed to be doing in Ukraine? Oh, defending our critical interests, right?
I don't care what our interests are when I can make turd jokes. Besides, it takes my mind off Libya, a country of vital interest to the US.
The outsized scale of that picnic table makes them both look like children.

All the while the finger on his hidden right hand is itching to flip and fly like a bird.
What's needed on the outsized picnic table, chickenlittle, is an outsized spill.
Can't we boycott Putin? We could have our whole army just boycott his ass. Then he'll see how fierce we are.
Barry and Hillary having a picnic in the back yard. Later they will warm graham crackers (marshmallows are bad for you) over a solar panel and tell politically correct fables.
