Michael Totten: "Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Was Easy to Predict"

Crimea has its own flag. It hosts the Russian navy’s Black Sea fleet.
It defiantly refuses to place itself within the Ukrainian time zone. Though it’s dead south of Kiev, it uses the more easterly Moscow time zone instead.,,,, What Moscow cares about in Crimea very much is Sevastopol. That’s where Russia’s Black Sea fleet makes its home. Neither Sean nor I dared take any photographs of it, not even discreetly from the car as we drove past. It’s not a good idea to take pictures of military installations anywhere in the world, especially not Russian military installations. - - Totten @ World Affairs Journal

Your Say

And yet the media is trying to pretend this was utterly unpredictable. Its sad how desperately they are trying to spin this.

That dumb Sarah Palin predicted it 6 years ago. To bad she didn't get a "proper" education.

Blaming this on Obama is still kind of silly.

This would have happened whoever was in the White House, Russia has to have that naval base.

Isn't it interesting how Palin and Romney were right on so many issues and O----word, (I can't say or write the name, kind of like the N-----word or the C---word, or the F---word you know...) so wrong. See Candy Crowley, Peggy Noonan, Tingles, if you can stand it. Sorry about the awkward sentence construction but it is Sunday morning and I don't care.
