Palin on Ukraine: I told you so.Damn the babe proved her understanding of foreign polices was spot on, she predicted 6 years ago Putin would invade Ukraine due to a clueless Obama and damned if she didn't nail it. In 2008 Obama called Palin's prediction laughable and said it demonstrated her lack of understanding of foreign matters.
In 2008, when she was the GOP vice presidential nominee, Palin questioned in a speech whether then-Sen. Barack Obama would have the foreign policy credentials to handle a scenario in which Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. She predicted that Obama's weak handling of foreign policies would actually encourage Russia to invade Ukraine.
"After the Russian army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence – the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next," she said in Reno, Nevada on October 21, 2008.
