While Obama sleeps

Nah, if chilly wasn't posting prob means he was gone, I think forky came up with jillyf in his stead. I don't recall chilly ever using the word "snap". Forky has used it on quite a few occasions, besides chilly I'm pretty positive was/is clarkvegas, the one he came up with when his membership died and couldn't get back on in the interim.

Hmm..would that say something about forky coming up with a female alter ego alias?

You're welcome.

Now I'm curious to see if you would care to explain your decision earlier today to uncritically post unverified Russian government propaganda here that makes our military look like bozos.

Have you become so frustrated with this country's direction that you're pulling for Putin's Russia?

DonDiego don' need no steenkin' explanation!

Chilcoot needn't concern himself with DonDiego's frustration. Things change.

DonDiego would prefer America's interests were foremost in everything that happens anywhere and anytime. In the present developing situation DonDiego opines Mr. Putin will achieve pretty much what he wants, . . . possession of Crimea and control of whatever portion of the rest of Ukraine he chooses for now.

There's one hell-of-a-lot of Russian arms and men heading to the Ukrainian border as DonDiego types.
There may be some fighting, . . . but Ukraine stands alone; Western Europe ceded responsibility for their protection to the United States long ago and the United States isn't interested in this fight. Military damage will be limited to Ukraine, for now.

Economic damage from sanctions could spiral out of control if the US does anything serious [unlikely] and if Europe goes along [unlikely, as Russian oligarchs' cash is providing them profits], and if Putin retaliates with something serious economically [the US debtload is a burden subject to perturbations with long-term consequences] or internationally [say a stronger Russia/China alliance through trade in weapons and/or Russian resources; or arms deals with Iran or Syria, could instigate mischief immediate and long-term.]
But Secretary of State Kerry knows all this, so DonDiego expects not much to happen.

Is it true that today after Secretary of State Kerry and Foreign Minister Lavrov entered the meeting room, Minister Lavrov turned to Secretary Kerry and said "Why the long face?"



Things didn't go well today.
From the Washington Post London Talks Fail

And that's a punchline Sarah Palin used just last week at CPAC. Not surprising, in that DD and the former half-governor have so much in common.

You're confused. It's "we" who needs an explanation from you. Again with the pronoun struggles . . . .

We can't figure out why you reposted an unverified Kremlin news report here that slams our military men and women as incompetent boobs who "give" away our advanced weaponry to our Russian adversaries. Why would you do that? You should explain.

Absent an explanation, the only thing that makes sense is that you're so frustrated that this country would elect a President you disapprove of, twice, both times by landslides, that even a murderous, KGB-trained autocrat like Putin seems appealing to you.

So if that's why you cut and paste unverified Russian state media here, well, no further explanation required.

Pretty impressive analysis from a guy who's pretended to have kept me on ignore for the past few years.

He has me on ignore, but claims to know what words I tend to use.

He has me on ignore, but claims to know my LVA subscription status, based on nothing.

DonDiego cannot argue with Chilcoot's logic. Poor old DonDiego has been outed.

I Knew he was a Russian Commie sympathizer!! It's a good thing we've got "The Committee" to ferret them out. Now...who's next??? That snidely dude seems kind of suspicious.

I'm trying to figure out why Obama and Kerry think they have a duty to interfere with an election in Crimea.
