Ted Rall for March 10, 2014
Transcript:
Heavily armed men in uniforms stripped of insignia and wearing masks have taken over part of Ukraine. When asked who they were, they refused to answer. So the media didn't dare to declare it a Russian invasion. (Man: Attempts to factcheck their nationality are providing fruitless.) Imagine how much better the U.S. invasion of Iraq could've gone. (Man 2: Many random dudebros with guns have taken up positions around Baghdad. Without hearing them talk, it is impossible to declare them infidels who must be killed.) The future of war is a flash mob. (Man 3: All I know is. I got a text.)

If you’re going to invade someone’s territory, own it. It’s one thing to be a bully, but another to be a cowardly bully. It’s not like we’re wondering who’s army invaded. They’re speaking Russian. That kind of narrows it down.

Only when you show up for the flash mob you have to bring your own mask…

While reading the first two panels of Ted’s latest offering, I almost thought that Ted was actually saying something important and meaningful. Then, I read the third and forth panels. Assessment? Same ol’ Ted crud.

Crimea is part of Ukraine. Russia agreed to this over twenty years ago. Russia’s acts now violate international law and the Budapest Accord.

Hey Rall, it’s always easier to pull of the ‘flash mob’ invasion when you actually already have troops onsite & 90% of the population speak the same language as your troops… we don’t even know if the unmarked soldiers are really Russian or Russian speaking Crimeans… it’s like Mexico invading East L.A.http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/10/world/europe/ukraine-crisis/

“And we didn’t steal all of that, either. Much of the buried stuff that hadn’t been found yet got pounded to dust under our tank treads. So, less junk for the New Iraq to have to deal with.”Tanks treads? More like Muslim extremists & common looters.
