More From Charles Krauthammer

The attitude of the west and of russia towards a crisis like ukraine is diametrically different. the west is trying to establish the legality of any established border. for russia, ukraine is part of the russian patrimony. a russian state was created around kiev about 1,200 years ago. ukraine itself has been part of russia for 500 years, and i would say most russians consider it part of russian patrimony. the ideal solution would be to have a ukraine like finland or austria that can be a bridge between these two rather than an outpost.
Attitude Trying Different
People take the lazy way out, and do not regard putin and the kremlin as the real enemy. they create a long but erroneous chain in their heads. putin is the leader of russia. putin does x, therefore russia is doing x, and russia is our enemy. and so, we introduce sanctions, for example, against russia.
Real Long People
We've got oligarchs. there are certain people that benefit in the russian sphere if you will. the oligarchs who basically feed putin, they've got to be hurt without hurting the people. the people are hurting bad enough in russia, and they're very skeptical of what's going on and all of the corruption goes on in russia. russia is not our ally. russia is not our friend. and to treat putin as an ally and a friend is wrong.
Hurt People Corruption
After the russian army invaded the nation of georgia, senator obama's reaction was one of moral indecision and equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage russia's putin to invade ukraine next.

[vladimir] putin spoke unabashedly about the importance of national sovereignty in syria, a concept apparently near and dear to his heart, unless it comes to the sovereignty of georgia, ukraine or any other country in which he intervenes. then he offered his cooperation, but without making any concrete concessions at all. and he didn't have to, either. he knows what he can rely on. he has assets that are more valuable than words: he has tanks in ukraine, fighter jets in syria - and barack obama in the white house.

Vladimir putin is the bigger danger than donald trump because trump can be dealt with within american democracy. there is an independent judiciary. he cannot overrule american courts. he will have to play by some rules. he will do damage certainly, but to do real damage i think he is too weak. putin is aggressive wherever he can be. in europe, in germany, putin will not stop.

Attention is a bit like real estate, in that they're not making any more of it. unlike real estate, though, it keeps going up in value.
Real Attention Estates
What would happen if you melted? you know, you never really hear this talked about much, but spontaneous combustion? it exists!... [people] burn from within... sometimes they'll be in a wooden chair and the chair won't burn, but there'll be nothing left of the person. except sometimes his teeth. or the heart. no one speaks about this, but its for real.

I can deal with conservatives in a democracy. with real conservatives, i don't agree with them, but i understand why they believe what they believe and i believe they're being honest with me about it.
Real Believe Democracy
For the first time in american history, men in authority are talking about an 'emergency' without a foreseeable end... such men as these are crackpot realists: in the name of realism they have constructed a paranoid reality all their own.
