Don't fret--Bush saw into Putin's soul and told us that he is trustworthy.

McCain saw things more realistically...

we should start shipping Javelins to Ukraine, Poland, and the Baltics ASAP.

The Soviet, er, Russian air force showed their ineptitude when the bullied around Georgia...their heavy divisions, however, are world class

Bush isn't President any more and Putin has far less respect for Obama.

It's Obama's fault. We should all accept this as a sign of impending invasion due to Obama's weakness. Bush's ability to see soul's was obviously wrong.

Further evidence that Bush was wrong, what's your point?

A foreign power violates our territorial rights as a nation-state, and people somehow morph the conversation into one of partisan politics. AMAZING.

Bush said he looked into Putin's eyes and saw a soul.

But the Bush's didn't admire the soviets so much that they gave their daughters Russian names as Barry and Michelle Obama idd.

So no one has answered my question, Russia obviously has an axe to grind or reasoning behind their recent endeavors, any care to give their opinion?

Do you think they are asking for another arms race, political warfare? What do you believe the Russian end game to be?
