Apart from your last example European Nations where integral in taking down those regimes.Comment -
Could have been UkraineComment -
Far too early to lay blame Ukraine or the rebels could be responsible wouldn't believe any bullshit that comes out of the main press.Comment -
Your examples are bad brooks85. England and France declared war on Germany when Hitler attacked Poland. USA didnt declare war with Nazi-Germany until Germany themselves declared war on the US.Comment -

You do realize it is only America who has been brainwashed to blame Chamberlain for WW2?
Appeasement is not a universally bad strategy forever simply because embarrassed American history writers needed someone else to blame for tacitly supporting the Nazis to begin with..Comment -
What I realize is Chamberlain was an idiot and I didn't blame him for ww2.Comment -
FIFA should cancel the 2018 world cup in Russia. Putin going to steal half the money anyways.Comment -
Korean Airliner was shot down on Sept. 1. Reagan Addressed the nation on September 5The shoot down was September 1, 1983. On September 5th, Reagan addressed the nation calling it “a crime against humanity” among other things.
"Reagan at least stopped what he was doing"Comment -

Dwight's tube-steak cavalry to his rescue!
LOL. Took him 4 days to address the nation.
How long was this planned vacation?
Maybe his psychic adviser told him that 4 days was the right position of the planets for it?
Keep cashin those BJ checks from Dwight. If that doesn't work, you can always go back to playing the "I'm a former FBI" or "I'm in treatment for Cancer" stories.

- CHRIS WALLACE FOX NEWSI was covering Ronald Reagan at that time. He was in Santa Barbara at his ranch when that happened, and quite frankly he didn't want to leave. And his advisers realized how terrible this looked, and eventually persuaded him he had to fly back to Washington and had to give this speech to the nation, but it did take him four days.Comment -
Probably a good idea to get the facts before accusing the soviets of downing a civilian airliner ... wadda you think?
He most likely had enough to go to the American people within 72-96 hours.
I think thats a reasonable time...
Wasnt it about 4 days before Obama told us terrorists killed 4 people in Benghazi

Disregard last sentence
My bad
Obama was still floating the theory of anti Muslim videos within 4 days...
Wasnt he?Comment -
Didn't bother me in the slightest. Your whine about Obama v. Reagan wasn't unique to you. Other right wing hacks have been going on with the same theme (coincidence...I mean, you're an "independent")
Just happened upon a twitter link to morning Joe host apologizing for the same argument you were trying to make.
Nice reply by the way. Instead of just admitting you were wrong, you try to spin it into something else.
Weak sauce. But don't worry. LGR is able to "try" and cover for you when you fall on your face.Comment -
What are you a 10-year old girl who I never said hello if the hallway? My original post was how one president acted presidential and the other didn't.
and speaking of admitting you were wrong, you have a couple times incorrectly stated things about me as facts that weren't. You never admitted you were wrong once I correct you. So this moral high ground you keep on pretending you reside on, is a selective one when its in your favor. Other left wing hacks have been going on with the same theme.Comment -
And my reply today pointed out how you were wrong. My original reply pointed out how the 2 incidents were very different. Check your replies, you honestly use the 10-year old girl comparison and went to those replies?
Your response: admit "oops" and move on? Nope.
You get fed talking points and got burned by whichever "source" fed you the Reagan comparison.
You're just a low budget political hack who relies on LGR and others to fight your factual battles for you. You're great at posting political gifs etc - but when it comes to substance, you should stick to jerking it to your monsanto videos.Comment -
Rebels controlling the crash site...
This is unbelievable.
USA should send in the fuking troops.Comment -
Morons always bring up Benghazi. Republicans blame Obama for everything....even the rainy weather.

Putin: on behalf of humanity - F.U. you midget bastard!!!
In a bedroom in a townhouse near Amsterdam, Miguel Panduwinata reached out for his mother. "Mama, may I hug you?"
Samira Calehr wrapped her arms around her 11-year-old son, who'd been oddly agitated for days, peppering her with questions about death, about his soul, about God. The next morning, she would drop Miguel and his big brother Shaka at the airport so they could catch Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, the first leg of their journey to Bali to visit their grandmother.
Is He Cheating On You? Spokeo.com/Is-He-Cheating
Her normally cheerful, well-traveled boy should have been excited. His silver suitcase sat in the living room, ready to go. Jetskiing and surfing in paradise awaited. But something was off. A day earlier, while playing soccer, Miguel had burst out: "How would you choose to die? What would happen to my body if I was buried? Would I not feel anything because our souls go back to God?"
And now, the night before his big trip, Miguel refused to release his mother from his grasp.
He's just going to miss me, Calehr told herself. So she stretched out beside him and held him all night.
It was 11 p.m. on Wednesday, July 16. Miguel, Shaka and the 296 other people aboard Flight 17 had about 15 hours left to live.
The next morning, Samira Calehr and her friend Aan ushered her sons onto the train to the airport. They were joking and laughing. Shaka, 19, had just finished his first year of college, where he was studying textile engineering, and promised to keep an eye on Miguel. Their other brother, Mika, 16, hadn't been able to get a seat on Flight 17 and would travel to Bali the next day.
At the check-in counter, Calehr fussed over her boys' luggage. Shaka, meanwhile, realized he'd forgotten to pack socks. Calehr promised to buy him some and send them along with Mika.
Finally, they were outside customs. The boys hugged Calehr goodbye and walked toward passport control.
Suddenly, Miguel whirled around and ran back, throwing his arms around his mother.
"Mama, I'm going to miss you," he said. "What will happen if the airplane crashes?"
What was this all about? she wondered.
"Don't say that," she said, squeezing him. "Everything will be OK."
Shaka tried to reassure them both. "I will take care of him," he said to his mom. "He's my baby."
She watched the two boys walk away. But Miguel kept looking back at his mother. His big brown eyes looked sad.
Then he vanished from view.
Flight 17 took off around 12:15 p.m. on what should have been an 11 hour and 45 minute flight.
It lasted two hours.
Calehr had just finished buying Shaka's socks when her phone rang. It was her friend Aan. "Where are you?" he screamed. "The plane crashed!"
She made it home just in time to faint.
She grapples now with the what-ifs, the astronomical odds, the realization that the world she knew has grown alien in a blink. She thinks about how her baby boy seemed to sense that his time on earth was running short. She imagines the futures that will never be: Shaka's dream of becoming a textile engineer, gone. Miguel's dream of becoming a go-kart race driver, gone.
How could he have known? How could she have known?
"I should have listened to him," she says softly. "I should have listened to him."Comment -
Pronk, it's a bit late for all these FU's to Putin
Without Obama injecting billions into Ukranian's junta and helping them to overtake the Ukrainian government, we wouldn't have this problem today.
Your president has as much, if not more blood on his hands and he's as guilty as anyone in a current Ukrainian crisis.
This accident is a small symptom of a much bigger problem that US government helped to create.Comment -
C'mon man, there is already enough of the blame game going on right now between the Ukraine and Russia. I know the U.S. isn't perfect by a large margin, but at least they are not shooting down commercial airliners(Flight 93 may possibly be an exception) and the U.S. was actually attacked by them. Our Government isn't creating most of the problems that we always get blamed for. If we minded our own business and quit worrying about the rest of the world, people would be bitching that we didn't care.
Lose-Lose situation for the United States.Comment
