Thomas Lifson "President Obama yesterday signaled Russia that he doesn’t intend to go to the mattresses over Ukraine. First, he made a televised statement from the White House that kinda, sorta sounded a tough if you weren’t paying close attention, but which, upon analysis, was appallingly weak."
....

"Fasten your seatbelts, it could get very, very ugly.
Thomas Lifson: ....A Democrat by birth, Thomas became more conservative in adulthood as reality taught him that dreams of perfecting human society always run smack into human nature.
In 2003 he founded American Thinker.
