The Radical Left is as Real as the Radical Right,

What is obvious is that the US and it’s EU clients and NOT Russia are the aggressors. While the Russian Federation has removed it’s heavy armaments from its borders, the US/NATO have encircled Russia with missiles and military bases in direct violation of a prior agreement made at the highest levels. “Kerry’s Propaganda War” Ray McGovern http://www.
The US/EU sponsored putsch and the violent overthrow of the elected government of Ukraine is a violation of international law and acceptable human behavior. Russia has its navy stationed in the Crimea (by mutual agreement; unlike Afghanistan and Iraq) and most of the disputed territory was Russia for most its history. The US involvement in Ukraine is a foreign policy blunder of cosmic proportions and bears the stamp of neocon magical thought. That whatever grand plan their fevered imaginations conjure will be greeted by cheers from a waiting world. (not)
Even IF democracy were the real aim (which it is not or most of the new NATO countries would have entirely different governments), it’s not the job of US policy elites to determine where or when and replace elected governments with US puppets.
What is obvious is that Putin is the only grownup in the room.

Obama unfortunately did not clean house after Bush and kept on way too many PNAC doctrine Neocons and almost all their military go-fers. They are the ones pulling his strings and driving him toward failure….again.
