Obama warns Russia 'there will be costs' for any military intervention in Ukraine

12. Exactly. I mean, we all clearly remember how in 1991, the Russian military went

Into Iraq, killed off numerous civilians and some hundreds of bad guys, while convincing their public at home of the notion that "smart bombs and smart missiles" meant 4,000 pounds of explosives could hit a house but only the bad people in the house would be killed.

Then over the next nine years, 50,000 kids died every years on account of sanctions that the Russian leadership imposed on the people of the nation of Iraq. The sanctions were supposed to hurt the President of Iraq, one Saddam Hussein, that the Russian KGB itself had put into office back in the early 1960's - but hey, if the Iraqi people couldn't take the joke, too bad for them. In any event, despite the sanctions, Saddam Hussein kept building palatial monuments to his excellence, and he even had entire bathrooms constructed out of 24 K gold.

Then to break up the monotony, in Spring 2003, the Russians started a Shock and Awe campaign. Within four years, the government in Iraq had been de-stabilized to the extent that close to one million Iraqi civilians were dead, and another four million had beco0me refugees. But hey, someone found Saddam Hussein living inside a hole, and he was given a trial and then executed, so it was not all for naught.

Those damn Russians! Why can't those people be peace loving like the people of the USA?
