		<description><![CDATA[Yes, politics certainly makes strange bedfellows. On the pro-Putin side there are staunch leftists with a contingent of paleo-conservatives as well as nationalist radio talker Mike Savage and moderate conservative host John Bachelor. On the anti-Putin side we have assorted leftists – gay activists, diversity crazed petty tyrants from the EU, Obama, Kerry and their minions, assorted neo-conservatives and mainstream conservatives as well as Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

The truth probably lies somewhere in between. I do agree that Russia and Putin are a problem and should be dealt with (though we have so weakened ourselves that we are incapable of doing so). But the pity is that it didn’t have to be that way. In addition to our liberal economists back in the 90s helping the Russian kleptocrats trash their economy as detailed in 

http://www.vdare.com/posts/the-rape-of-russia-explained-by-anne-williamson

we have the following. After the end of the Cold War the West kept relentlessly trying to push NATO right up against the Russian border. Instead of treating Russia as a friend and seeking an alliance a cabal of crazed Western multiculturalists with hardliners who couldn’t let go of their Cold War obsession insisted on trying to encircle Russia. Then there was Clinton’s war on Russia’s traditional Serb allies and support for Chechen jihadists who sought to dismember Russia proper. That was followed by the war in Iraq which Russia warned us against (they turned out to be right) and Obama’s adventure in Libya which they also warned us about. In the meantime Russia did give us considerable support in Afghanistan and cooperated by giving us intelligence regarding terrorists. (They warned us about the Tsarnaev brothers which we, of course, ignored.) 
But all of this counted for nothing as the EU worked to undermine Russia’s relationship with Ukraine. Prominent politicians from Europe helped by that senile fool McCain went fishing in troubled waters appearing in Kiev in the midst of the crisis denouncing its president. If some foreign powers were pushing an anti-American alliance with Canada and Mexico any self-respecting US government would not put up with it. It is true, on the other hand, that we haven’t had anything like a self-respecting government since Reagan. So yes, Russia is a problem but it was all so tragically unnecessary.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Really? One of &quot;The Nation&quot; authors is bringing up the Panama invasion to try and delegitimize the West&#039;s criticism of the Putin government&#039;s invasion of Ukraine. The invasion of Panama was a justified response to the Noriega dictatorship&#039;s constant human rights violations in Panama, constant violations of the Panama Canal sovereignty and the murder of a U.S. military member and the gruesome torture of the American military member&#039;s wife. That right there was an act of war. Furthermore, &quot;The Nation&quot; ignores the fact that Noriega was a puppet of the Castro dictatorship in Cuba and the Sandinista dictatorship in Nicaragua and has numerous connections to drug cartels and other hostile forces. Russia&#039;s invasion of Ukraine is totally unjustified, as the Putin government is trying to overthrow a newly-established popular government by force. There is no comparison between the two invasions. One invasion reestablished democracy and freedom while the other is trying to overthrow a popular government and reimpose a client state.]]></description>

Yes, if NATO hadn&#039;t been formed to deal with Soviet aggression, none of this would have happened because Ukraine would have never escaped Soviet/Russian domination. How dare Western democracies offer security to a victim of communism.]]></description>
