Atta boy, don't respond intelligently or even try to formulate an argument to the contrary as it relates to the argument. Just be an imbecile, it suits your responses better.
After calling someone a bigot and an imbecile you ask why I do want to respond intelligently?
You have two homework assignments before posting again.
Read about Obama dismantling the Czech and Polish missile shield systems in Eastern Europe before meeting with Putin.
Read about Bill Clinton signing the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 with Great Britian, Russia and Northern Ireland. America promised to protect Ukraine if it's borders were invaded. Is it a Treaty or just a Promise? After reading this you might understand that this is not just a Russia/Ukraine problem.
Respond intelligently if you can tomorrow.
I had hopes for this thread bringing
Civil Discourse to a shitty situation
I also wanted to be taller, thinner
Had retained my hair past 40
Ultimately I wish I had taken up
Fishing like FDC
What a great way to escape the bullshit!
However being that I have the balance of
A hippo on a tight wire
Someone would be fishing me out

You assume I don't or haven't already educated myself to both. Also, I didn't call you a bigot, I "identified" you as a bigot, because that is what you present yourself as.
You didn't formulate anything even remotely intelligent nor anything that has to do with your original post. Your post lauded what you thought to be some incredible foresight by Palin and Romney. The previous post was the first mention of any memorandum by you. I never understand how people think they can lie about their intent when their posts are still present.
Returning to your point, Palin is an imbecile too. You two are kindred spirits.
You get a failing grade by not doing your homework but due to political correctness I must pass you with a C. If you tell me you are gay you get a B. If you are gay and a minority you get an A.
Always a weak response by Drawing the Nazi card
Right up there with calling someone a racist
Or resorting to 'Yo mamma' insults
Meanwhile ....

The "homework" you're referring to wasn't necessary. I passed that test years ago, and aced it, so what would you like to know about the memorandum? The signatories were the U.K., U.S., Russia, and of course the Ukraine. The memorandum was drafted to include political commitment of all signatories to "respect independence and existing borders of Ukraine? and ?refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine?. The signatories also agreed to ?refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind?.
The problem with your myopic understanding of the memorandum is that Russia may have already violated the tenets of the treatise when they applied political and economic pressure on Ukraine to back out of the EU trade deal. Any movement made toward independence of the Crimean Peninsula would also violate the the treatise. Since the spirit of the agreement has been violated by both sides, diplomacy dictates that the agreement is now void of obligation.
What this means is, even if a Russian military force is moved into Ukraine, we are under no legal obligation to protect the sovereignty of their borders. It becomes a moral discussion and that discussion should first be heard by the U.N. Security Council, not the POTUS.
Let me know if you would like me to educate you on any further superfluous machinations of your bigoted mind.
Hope this helps,
FDC
Right. That's how real life works. Everything is tilted in favor of the minorities. :facepalm:
They know too much, we have all seen too much, to take my parents' brief union ? a black man and a white woman, an African and an American ? at face value. When people who don't know me well, black or white, discover my background (and it is usually a discovery, for I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect I was ingratiating myself to whites), I see the split-second adjustments they have to make, the searching of my eyes for some telltale sign. They no longer know who I am.

25) "No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something." -- Barack Obama
24) "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions." -- Barack Obama
23) "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." -- Barack Obama
22) "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling conventions. We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated.
But this strategy alone couldn't provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerant. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names." -- Barack Obama
21) "I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities, and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manfuacturer?s lobby." -- Barack Obama
20) "Junkie. Pothead. That's where I'd been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn't been about that, me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn't make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate's sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you'd met down at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl. ...You might just be bored, or alone. Everybody was welcome into the club of disaffection." -- Barack Obama
19) "...I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth. This was the moment -- this was the time -- when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals." -- Barack Obama
18) "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen." -- Barack Obama
17) "I am not in favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations." -- Barack Obama
16) "It?s very rare that I come to an event where I?m like the fifth- or sixth-most interesting person." -- Barack Obama
15) "The Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. . . . What I think we know ? separate and apart from this incident ? is that there is a long history in their country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that?s just a fact." ? President Obama on Gates? arrest.
14) "But I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don't mind cleaning up after them, but don't do a lot of talking." -- Barack Obama
13) "If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ?We?re gonna punish our enemies and we?re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,? if they don?t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it?s gonna be harder and that?s why I think it?s so important that people focus on voting on November 2." -- Barack Obama
12) "It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: (White) People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time." -- Barack Obama
11) "The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person..." -- Barack Obama
10) "The issue here is not gonna be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president ? with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln." -- Barack Obama
9) "I don?t believe it is possible to transcend race in this country. Race is a factor in this society. The legacy of Jim Crow and slavery has not gone away. It is not an accident that African-Americans experience high crime rates, are poor, and have less wealth. It is a direct result of our racial history." -- Barack Obama
8) "The private sector is doing fine." -- Barack Obama
7) "That's just how white folks will do you. It wasn't merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn't know that they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserving of their scorn." -- Barack Obama
6) "It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks' greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere...That's the world! On which hope sits!" -- Barack Obama quotes Rev. Wright
5) "You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a (flag) pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest..." -- Barack Obama
4) "If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you?ve got a business ? you didn?t build that. Somebody else made that happen." -- Barack Obama
3) "I can no more disown (Jeremiah Wright) than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe." -- Barack Obama
2) "...I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby." -- Barack Obama
1) "You got into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." -- Barack Obama
