Back in 2008 (oh mercy!) I posted this:
pathetic rhetoric and soapmaking
Wonder if "they" still see anything coming out of Russia as "pathetic rhetoric?" Somehow I doubt it. Still not taking them as seriously as I'd like, given the situation and lack of response. But then I've always seen sanctions as a sort of like telling a toddler no while smiling. It doesn't exactly elicit the response you'd been hoping for. As a matter of fact, it sort of encourages the actions you were attempting to stop. Then you have them challenging you without regard to any further threats or recrimination because they've already got you figured out.
Russia tests Obama (as if they don't already know what kind of grinning pushover he is)
Remember Georgia?
Pretty sure what happened there gave Russia some very valuable lessons that they've taken and utilized, this time with success.
P.S. It's snowing here. Nice summery weather this past weekend (even got a bit on the pink side from enjoying it myself)....and now, snow. Ma Nature: keeping you on your toes since forever.
