Lol it is just so ridiculous you blame dems for the collapse yet can not explain what exactly dems do to cause it. This happened in the last 4 months of 2008. HOW did the dems cause it. Without that explanation you just sound like a complete moron.It's completely laughable that so many cons would commend a moron who thinks Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience. Any idiot could have made that comment about Russia and Ukraine. That's what makes her base so simple minded. It continues to astound me that cons on this board and elsewhere admire her. It really says a lot.Says she made an "accurate prediction" that if Barack Obama were elected it would encourage Russia to invade Ukraine.
A prediction? And the connection between Georgia and Ukraine.
It is clear Palin suggested Russia might invade Ukraine. But did she predict it? And did it happen because of Obama’s reaction to Russia’s incursion into another former Soviet republic, Georgia, in 2008? Back then Obama wasn't president, George W. Bush was.
"Palin did not predict anything; she laid out a possibility," said Mark Beissinger, director of the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies at Princeton University.
"Her exact words are not exactly a prediction, but a comment that suggests it raised the probability that Putin would act against Ukraine in the future," said Mark Brawley, professor of international relations, McGill University.
Michael O’Hanlon, a senior fellow in foreign policy at the Brookings Institution, a Washington academic center, had similar reservations. But he doesn’t quibble that she pointed to Ukraine as a geopolitical flash point.
"She did raise the scenario," O’Hanlon said. "So I'd give her half credit."
Trickier, our experts said, was Palin’s 2008 words linking Obama’s "indecision" about Georgia and forthcoming aggression in Ukraine.
It’s a point where a definitive answer is not possible.

Palin made lots of wacky claims, so it was almost inevitable that she would get one partially right.

This all from a schmuck who brags about voting for Obama twice.
I have asked this of you patronizing racists before. Tell us the reasons you thought Obama was qualified to be president. Other than him being black or a democrat. List all of the accomplishments.
We already know you fell for the democrats who deliberately sank the economy in 2008 when they ignored all of Bush's 17 warnings about the real estate bubble.
Of course you morons fell for the political power play, and you still think to this moment the democrats had nothing to do with the collapse of the economy, even though the democrats had majority power starting in 2007. The fact that our economy thrived under Republican control from 1994 till 2006 is lost on you brainwashed morons.
Now, we read more bullshit from an ignorant sacksucker like you. Now, tell us why you thought Obama was so qualified. BTW, Palin accomplished a lot more than Obama. Want to compare. You unreal stupid pile of shit.
You, apparently do not know how to respond to facts. The "last 4 months?"
You stupid fuck. You just proved it was not because of Bush. You just proved conclusively that the democrats ignored ALL of Bush's warnings. 17 of them to be exact. That is an official record according to the white house archive.
The democrats have been sacrificing this country in order to gain political power for decades. From convincing the minorities they are the perpetual victims, to deliberately causing an economic melt down. All behind a socialist media that pushes a socialist agenda who always insulate their democrat politicians.
Well, go ahead. Tell us why the democrats (who controlled the House and Senate starting in 2007) ignored all of Bush's warnings in 2008 (which just so happened to be a crucial election year.) As you said, the collapse happened in the last 4 months of Bush's presidency. Now, what else happened in that time? The elections?
You stupid fuck. You dumb ignorant brainwashed moron.
Funny, how I am still waiting for all of the accomplishments of Obama that made him so qualified to be president to you. I cannot tell. You think Bush did not warn congress about the real estate bubble? Go ahead, tell us why the pathetic democrats ignored all of the warnings.
Watch folks, he will start his response with a "lol" and then deny that they democrats ignored any of the warnings. It must have been just a coincidence that the economy turned into pure shit AFTER THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER POWER IN 2007, and it must be a coincidence that the democrats IGNORED ALL OF BUSH'S WARNINGS.
What a bunch of hopeless hacks.
