Conservatives Hail Sarah Palin as Having Predicted Russia Invading Ukraine

As the new Ukrainian government alleges it’s under invasion from Russia, conservatives stateside have hailed former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin as having accurately predicted the current crisis back in 2008.

Palin herself did a little bit of “told ya so”:

And talk radio host Mark Levin got in on the action:
