4. Are they mentioning that much of this is happening because

the US is no longer a military power to keep large aggressors in check?

chimipy broke our military and we are now powerless to do anything other than talk tough. Not that we should get involved anyway.

18. Sorry, this is a common argument from the administration

Whenever a foreseeable and foreseen event occurs that is a disastrous result of their screwups.

Not really that difficult to anticipate

Aggressive countries have a tendency to exploit weaknesses, and that's exactly what Russia is doing. You think it's a coincidence that this is taking place now, as opposed to the 90s under Clinton's administration? Hell, they didn't even dare use military force to keep the Soviet Union from dissolving when Pappy was in office. However, they sense a weakness in us now, so they're acting.

I wouldn't be surprised if China started getting more aggressive with Taiwan after the Olympics are over.

A situation custom-made for McCain! He's been wanting to kick Russia out of the G8 for a long time.
