While Putin Plans for a Real War in Ukraine, Obama's People Are Focused Like Lasers on Winning the Only War That Matters, the Facebook/Twitter War
— Ace

Before getting to the "Promise of Hashtag," let's be clear about the seriousness of this moment:

Ukraine's deputy foreign minister said Friday he fears an imminent Russian invasion.
"We have the information we are in danger," Danylo Lubkivsky told reporters at the United Nations.
He spoke as an official in Ukraine confirmed that pro-Russian forces had detained a team of military observers with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The official said the team would be released after further investigation.

The stakes are high.

How does Obama's Smart Power team meet this moment, as Russia threatens a military campaign to crush the Ukraine?

By waging a Social Media Campaign.

The world stands #UnitedforUkraine. LetÂ’s hope that the #Kremlin & @mfa_russia will live by the promise of hashtag
— Jen Psaki (@statedeptspox) April 24, 2014

Let us posit that if Putin wishes a military campaign against Ukraine, and Obama plans in response a Twitter campaign, Putin will gladly let Obama have his Fake Social Media "Victory" in exchange for a real world victory.

What signals does such a message send?

First, that Obama is not actually concerned with deterring Russia from invading Ukraine, but rather that he is only interested in being seen as being concerned about it.

If Putin didn't already know before (and frankly I doubt he didn't), this "response" by the U.S. State Department tells him that Obama has no permanent alliances, only permanent interests, and that permanent interest is pretending at strength for domestic political purposes.

He doesn't care what it means for the future or the world if Russia takes Ukraine. He only cares about what it might mean for the morale of his disciples and the November elections.

Obama is practically begging Putin to give him some sort of face-saving political cover to benefit Obama and Obama alone -- in exchange for which he'll let Putin have the Ukraine.

Actually, he'll let Putin have the Ukraine even if Putin doesn't offer him that. That's the "begging" part of it.

Second, it tells Putin that this Progressive Spirit Squad has only one skill, and that skill is "winning" on FaceBook one Like at a time.

When all you have is the hammer of retweets, all the world's troubles look like a hashtag nail.

Putin thus looks at the Obama Administration and sees it for what it is -- juvenile (if not puerile), only concerned about the next poll and the next #HashtagEvent.

Weak. Decadent. Insipid. Small.

Can you imagine what a hard-headed, black-hearted old KGB spy thinks when he looks out at America and sees it conducting foreign policy via a time-wasting medium primarily popular with 12 year old schoolgirls?

To echo @BarackObama today-proud to stand #UnitedForUkraine World should stand together with one voice pic.twitter.com/VeMt578UdY
— Jen Psaki (@statedeptspox) March 26, 2014

And if this doesn't work, Obama has threatened
to tap into the nation's Strategic Listicle Reserve

This is exactly the sort of feeble (and feeble-minded) response that Reagan termed "provocative weakness."

It is better to be a weakling and say nothing at all than to open one's Twitter account and remove all doubt.

Update (AP): Actual quote from the State DepartmentÂ’s actual spokesman: Â“They have not been following their hashtag with actions.Â”

Oh.

My.

God.

Wouldn't it make sense for Putin to save Obama's career? Because if Obama and the Democrats are seen as weak on foreign policy, and the world gets more dangerous because of them, then (supposedly) more defense-oriented Republicans will take their places, and Putin might have trouble on his hands.

That's why he's moving now. Moscow has already factored in a Dem loss in the Senate. A divided nation focused on a Dem White House and a GOP Congress is better than an All Republican government in 2017.

48 Null, it was in Putin's interest to keep this President around for a second term. See how much he can gain. And now this President can't be elected again.

So Putin is all about destroying this sad joke of a leader who is President of the country that crashed his nation. Putin is jabbing his thumbs in the eye sockets and twisting. Destroying for all time and branding this guy Ethelred the Unready II.

If a Republican gets into office well he will make amends and perhaps turn over most of the Ukraine. If a Democrat gets into office, well then it will be a full court press to re-establish the Soviet Empire.

60 I saw a book prominently displayed at the Barnes n' Noble in Boulder (where else). It was Jo Becker, "Forcing the Spring". It was about the noble struggle for Marriage Equality. Our elites fight for these trivial (and self-destructive) causes, because they doesn't want to know about the bears in the woods. If they make enough noise they'll imagine, in their minds, that they've defeated an enemy worse than Putin. Or at least they'll convince 50.1% of the voters of this.

She was wearing striped tank top and had her hair down in a girlish do. Except for the older face, she looked like a prep school kid headed for the squash court.

327 I think you are right. That is one of the reasons why I am not concerned about the feminization of our military.

chelsea manning types make great dupes but not good individual fighters.

When they come in overwhelming force, retreat. When they stop you stop. Harass. Pick at thier flanks. When they retreat you follow. Never break contact. Keep harassing them until they make a mistake.

They just don't have the leadership to fight a protracted war.

328 In all seriousness, I find it impossible to believe that the US military wouldn't fracture and begin to breakdown if ordered into real fighting against the US people. I have no doubt that many would but not all. I hope I never have to find out but I don't believe it. I couldn't have when I was in all those years ago. NaÃ¯ve maybe but there it is.

Posted by: weirdflunkyonatablet at April 25, 2014 05:05 PM (QwwBH)

329 I have thought about this a lot.

The Command ranks One Star and above that are currently serving are political animals. They want to keep what they have. They would follow and issue orders to fire on American citizens.

Majors and Colonels are a bit more problematic. They are closer but not by much to their troops. My uneducated guess just based on my experiences, I would say that 75 % would easily fall into the above category.

Lt's and Captains? 50 %

336 Again just my uneducated guess. 90 % of the enlisted ranks would not obey orders.

If it ever comes to the point that the government would use our own military against us, I don't think anyone will be think about mortgages or car payments.

We would be past hat point.

341 Start by downloading the blueprints for the ppsh-41 sub machinegun. Something like 41 parts in all. Any backwoods machine shop could turn them out.

If you have the machines to make the weapons you have the machines to make the ammo.

342 I feel sorrow, pity, and concern... For the political parody writers at the Onion. Seriously, lets say you write today that the US State department with working with the EU to un-friend Russia on Facebook, and call her fat and a slut behind her back. Are you CERTAIN they won't actually do that by Monday? Those poor bastards have the hardest job ever... how to parody someone who is already a parody of themselves. I mean the Democrats said "the adults are in charge" before doing this crap... how can you parody that effectively?

343 You can't now. After the burning starts, it will be easy.

344 Meanwhile the Polish government, which appears to be run by adults, and represents a country that knows exactly what it means to have Russian influence over your affairs, is trying to convince western Europe to end its dependence on Russian energy. Not a bad chess move. Let's hope at least some of the western Europeans still play chess.

346 This is actually real?

holy ..... FUCK.

this must be a dream..

Obama has literally made our once great nation a laughing stock in 5 years. Holy shit. We lose political power like this as this rate, we'll look like Venezuela in 15 years. count on it.

We owe our standard of living to our political and military power.. Which is currently based on past glories. Obama is making us a 3rd world hell hole in 15 years at this rate.

347 When a majority in this country voted for Obama, it seems they really hit the mega-jackpot of Stupid, as the passage of time has apparently borne out.

If only we had been able to use hashtags in WWII.

If in 1938, someone had tweeted "Not cool, Adolf. #CzechYourself", I'm pretty sure that would have stopped him.

349 They won't unleash the emoticons, though--that would be an escalation and too provocative!

Tomorrow should be a big day for the world: Russia conquers Ukraine again before lunch, and our prez golfs?

351 I think Putin will take as much of the Ukraine as he wants, then he will probably take at least some of the Baltic States. Not sure if he will try to take Poland or anything else farther West. Putin has no fear of Obama or the U.S. I figure that China will soon start grabbing those islands that Japan claims. If they are not sufficiently discouraged by Japan they will then go for Taiwan. We are a complete laughing stock amongst the worlds leaders. I am worried what Obama's response will be in the fall if the Dems lose the senate. I am afraid that he will throw a full scale tantrum. He is already starting to empty the prisons and make every illegal alien he can find a citizen. What will he do if he is actually facing some real opposition. I would expect having the Republican Leadership arrested would be the natural first step. Then what ???

356 We need a hashtag "#All Wee Wee'd Up" to follow Barry's stern responses to Pooty. BTW, I don't do Twitter, so I don't know how to start this.

357 The state dept in a breach of diplomatic protocol has decides to bypass the normal double dog dare hashtag and go directly to the triple dog dare. We believe this breach is warranted and expect our show of force in his matter will bring Mr. Putin to his senses.
