    If Obama had any idea what kind of a crazy bastard Putin is, he wouldn’t sit so close.

    Makes you wonder why they didn’t do this in ’62 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    Putin has Obama pegged for the political neophyte and strategic pussy that he is.

    Meanwhle, the Russkies are sending massive arms and troops to Syria, and the Chicoms are about to move ships and troops through the Suez to ready the upcoming confrontation in Syria.

    My take is that they want to get Obummer to make a very stupid move concerning Syria.

    What’s this? Helicopters? I don’t see no stinkin’ helicopters on that boat – do you?

    But still – if we can send troops and UAVs to Afghanistan, why can’t the Russians send a few marines to Syria?

    “Russia also announced it was preparing to send an elite unit of marines to Tartous, …” … “… suggested that the soldiers would be drawn from the elite Pskov airborne brigades and special forces units stationed in Chechnya
