		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Chechnya&quot;

A hotbed of muslim terrorism that Putin rather miraculously civilized into a functional client state under Kadyrov.

&quot;Syria&quot;

Globohomo once again sponsoring forces of chaos to overthrow legitimate sovereign keeping order in some place; the very fact of him keeping order naturally involving things unacceptable to globohomo faith &#8212; Jews and or oil pipelines are involved. 

Tale as common as dirt and as old as time across the duration of globohomo&#039;s reign; except in this case, a plot twist happens in the form of another extra-national power intervening on the side of civilization.

&quot;and then the Crimea.&quot;

NATO&#039;s purpose for existence ended when the Soviet Union ended... except, it didn&#039;t end, and so it keeps compulsively returning back to that purpose &#8212; pointing military force at Russia &#8212; quite regardless of whatever context, state of affairs, or realities are at play.

Putin&#039;s one big shining red line was not expanding NATO to Russia&#039;s doorstep; globohomo kept trying to expand NATO, once again sponsoring forces of chaos in Ukraine to make it happen (eg, the ethnic cleansing in the Donbass region), and so this becomes the inevitable result.

There is, indeed, no excuse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gavin, I&#039;m not sure there was anything to discuss after Chechnya, Syria and then the Crimea. No excuses.

&quot;Our guys&quot; provoked Putin by signaling weakness, not by showing strength.

By the way, what would have constituted non-aggressive expansion by NATO?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lefties always want to personalize a situation -- it is part of their Rules for Radicals.  So today Lefties are demanding we all hate Putin.

Remember how dumb Lefties said President Reagan was?  Then Bush was stupid?  And of course President Trump was really stupid and a scary warmonger?

Now we are supposed to believe that President Putin is as bad as a Republican.  We are supposed to forget that &quot;Our Guys&quot; pushed Russia into a corner by refusing even to discuss their concerns about NATO&#039;s aggressive expansion.  If Putin is evil, he is not the only one in this sad episode.]]></description>

I&#039;m all for doing the first of these three things, and can manage the second well enough. That&#039;s as far as my lovehate can go along with the approved opinion.]]></description>
