She almost always makes me laugh.She's having a bit of a "la la la -- told ya so!" moment, though.
Back in 2008 when she was VP candidate and following Russia’s invasion of Georgia, she criticized Barack Obama's reaction. Palin said it “was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of indecisiveness that would only encourage Russia’s [Vladimir] Putin to invade Ukraine next.”
I don't know if Obama's personal and leadership styles led Putin to believe that he could act with impunity in the Ukraine, but Palin did foresee the possibility of Putin barging in there. Credit where due.
