Bush stared into Putin’s nipples and hungrily suckled on them for 8 years.
Well, thank you very much for that imagery in my head as I make breakfast.!!
Fox News, in general, does not do context or pragmatism very well. In international relations, you use leverage where you have leverage. You will fail attempting to apply leverage to regions/situations where you do not have leverage. Fox News will shout “PUSSY” every time Obama doesn’t do what they want to classify as the “manly” thing.
Didn’t the masses stop expecting real journalism from Fox News a long, long time ago?
Just like (Republican) Eisenhower rescued the brave Hungarian rebels from the Soviets, back in 1956. Oh, wait…
It’s this sort of rhetoric that makes me question your commitment to Sparkle Motion.
I understand that certain elements of the American media and political spectrum want politicians who are Men of Action. Deciders not lollygagging thinkers. Personally I am happy to have someone who is willing to listen to the call of “Don’t just do something! Stand there!” Seriously. I am not an isolationist by any means but threats and boots on the ground are not a default option. Sometimes watchful waiting is the best course to follow.

Okay, that stung.

Usually watchful waiting is the best course to follow. The sheer idiocy of trying to get the US into a war with Russia on the other side of the planet, right next to Russia, because viewers find it entertaining or politicians think it feeds the egos of the yahoos back home leads me to despair for the future. These people are really and truly, deeply stupid.
The inherent flaw in McFarland’s statement is that it makes reference to Putin changing facial expressions, which he does not do. Putin would not raise an eyebrow if he were eating a kitten.
Once again, Not, your supposition is running far in advance of the current situation.
Is there a coup going on in Ukraine? Yes. Will that coup be successful in holding power and preserving Ukrainian independence from Russian influence? Who the hell knows? Check back in six months and we’ll have some idea.
Wait, Fox News thinks Putin is a bad guy now?
Seems like only weeks ago that they were whining that Obama insulted Putin by sending gay Americans to the Sochi Olympics, in defiance of his bold stand for Traditional Judeo-Christian Values™.
I’ve often thought Obama needs to start fucking with the right wing media. He needs to start announcing his full support for various conservative causes and watch as Fox News and their ilk feel compelled to denounce them because he’s suggesting it.
“President Obama today announced he fully supports a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Ummm…I suppose that means we here at Fox News think this is another example of runaway big government interfering in people’s lives. So…we want a Constitutional amendment legalizing gay marriage…I guess…I’m sort of confused here…”
Don’t really think Roger Ailes is that stupid. Hannity, sure, dumb as a box of lox. But its Gepetto makes the decisions about what Pinochio thinks.
Naw, they’d concern troll. Just like some people do with national security (but probably not Fox as much as your average conservative on the street on this one issue oddly enough.)
“Remember how you hated it when Bush ran Guantanamo? Well, Obama’s not getting rid of it either! That means that you shouldn’t support him in anything else and he’s the worst President ever!”
“See, Obama is homophobic too! Where’s your messiah now, liberals? HAW HAW!”
