Kerry condemns Russia's 'incredible act of aggression' in Ukraine | Reuters


Quote:
"You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pre-text," Kerry told the CBS program "Face the Nation."






How could that douche bag even say that with a straight face?

No. I think Chico summed it up pretty well.

I wish the Ukrainians well. I hope significant, practical economic sanctions are imposed and that Putin chokes on this move.

Not one American soldier should need to shed blood for this. If the Europeans want peace and security in their backyard, let them send their sons to secure it.

What if NATO sends peacekeepers? Are you saying the US should not support NATO or keep its obligations under both NATO and other international agreements?

If NATO responds we have to participate as required by the treaty.

It's a tough. My objection is more with the choices that put us into this Hobbesian choice.

NATO expansion? Too harsh or too lenient policy with Russia?

Re: Hey there's about to be a war in Ukraine.

There is really nothing we can do except stay on the phone with the Russians, but the European Union is slow to act and coordinate any type of response with the UN its laughable. They probably should sent peacekeepers in when the Russian massed troops on the border and said it "was training exercises".

Does anybody remember the call leaked 2-3 weeks ago between the pentagon and our ambassador to the Ukraine? The Russians were really behind the scenes during the Olympics gearing up for this.

Kerry...anyone going to trust him now?


Kerry blasts Romney as inept and extreme on foreign policy - CBS News



Flashback: Candidate Mitt Romney ridiculed for ‘Cold War thinking’ | Twitchy







The whole world sees this President and sadly the United States as WEAK now, so the dictators and terrorists of the world are taking chances and making moves they would not normally make with a typical, strong United States President, foreign policy and military.

Putin is trying to re-assemble the USSR and this President is not going to stop him, or even care.

BBC News - LIVE: Ukraine crisis: Grip tightens


Shit is about to get real.

15:58:

The press office for the Ukraine defence ministry in Crimea confirms to the BBC that an ultimatum from Russia's Black Sea Fleet has been delivered. The Russian naval forces are said to have given Ukraine's forces in the region until 05:00 local time (03:00 GMT) to surrender or else face an all-out assault.

Very in the face move, remember Kerry is going to Ukraine tomorrow. And at the same time he is talking economic moves Putin's fleet is going to massacre Ukrainian soldiers.

Obviously that's an extreme version of events, but still if Putin wants to intimidate eastern Europe (which does) and the former Soviet satellites, attacking Ukrainian soldiers while the US and allies blather about skipping a G8 meeting is absolutely the right move.

And I doubt Putin is bluffing.

Exactly what dictators/terrorists are making moves that wouldn't be made with any other President? You mean like Gaddafi? Oh wait...he's dead.

Sounds like something stupid that Glenn Beck would say. Do you actually believe this dribble? Seriously? The only people that see the US as weak are moronic Tea Tards/Republidiots that continue their constant hatred over the black man. What's sad is I think Obama is a terrible President, but I simply can't get down with some of the garbage slung by Tea Tards.
