Ukrainian Parliament Erupts Over Russian Naval Base

RESIZE: AAA

I have some serious commentary on Russia, Ukraine and their naval base agreement, but honestly I just wanted an excuse to post this video.

I haven’t yet decided whether this is awesome or sad, but it is pretty funny:

I watched this video a few times just to study the nonchalant faces, as if this happens all the time. Getting egged on the floor of parliament, no biggie – just break out an umbrella. Smoke bombs, guys getting smashed in the head… whatever. Que sera, sera, or whatever it is they say in Ukraine.

In all seriousness, the new puppet government in Ukraine is worth following.

I actually admire the deftness and tenacity of Russian diplomacy. They are running circles around Washington. If one cannot admire their tactics, one has to respect a government that actually works to defend the interests of its own citizens in global affairs. How novel.

    Obama won’t protect the Ukraine, President Viktor Yanukovych might as well become Vladimir Putin’s best friend.

    I don’t blame them.

    waiting for something big to happen.

    on TV. I wondered how long it will be until we see similar actions in our Congress. The Libs are so desperately against the Repubs that have the nerve to hold up/block their socialist legislation that just as they are sending thugs to the Tea Parties, to show how violent and derranged the Tea Party folk are, it’s only a matter of time until some sort of physical fight breaks out on the floor of the House or Senate. A Lib will throw the first punch, best if it is a minority, then the cameras will start rolling, the Repub will fight back out of defense, and, the media will portray it as the violent and evil Repubs. A year or so ago, I would never have had that thought, but, the Libs are now very desperate. The pres. himself is fanning the flames.

      head bashing in Congress. Those umbrellas would be perfect for bopping someone over the head. Too many laws and lawsuits have taken all of the fun out of Congress. No fun at all. :-)

        Every R Congressional member should carry one of those umbrellas that pop forward and open when you push a button. Then the Lefties can ban them too as dangerous weapons.
