FOUR THINGS WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW TO CONTAIN PUTIN'S CRIMEAN GAMBIT

• SEND MISSILE DEFENSES TO THE NATIONS WHICH WERE SUPPOSED TO GET THEM BEFORE OBAMA CANCELED BUSH'S DEALS: NYTIMES/2009: 

• In one of the biggest national security reversals of his young presidency, Mr. Obama canceled former President George W. Bush’s plans to station a radar facility in the Czech Republic and 10 ground-based interceptors in Poland. 

• ADMIT UKRAINE TO NATO: WIKI:

• Plans for Ukrainian membership to NATO were shelved by Ukraine following the 2010 Ukrainian presidential election in which Viktor Yanukovych [PUTIN'S CROOKED PUPPET] was elected President.

• SUPPORT AN INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN AND BEGIN DEPLOYING EVERYTHING WE NEED THERE TO HAVE A STABLE MILITARY PLATFORM ON RUSSIA'S SOUTHERN FLANK. NOW IS THE TIME (AN ARTICLE FROM THE IRAQI PRESS 2 WEEKS AGO):  

• Conflict between Baghdad and Iraqi Kurdistan over oil exports has resulted in something of a financial crisis in the northern region. State employees haven’t been paid, MPs are threatening to resign and there are rumours that Turkey was asked for a loan. Negotiations are continuing but some senior politicians are saying that Iraqi Kurdistan is ready for financial independence if a compromise is not reached soon.

• ADMIT ISRAEL TO NATO.

THESE ARE BOLD AND WOULD REQUIRE RESOLVE AND COURAGE.

I THINK NIXON, TRUMAN, CHURCHILL, DUBYA BUSH - EVEN BJ CLINTON - WOULD DO THEM.

OBAMA IS EITHER TOO TIMID OR ACTUALLY WORKING FOR VLAD AND THE CHINESE.
