US Secretary of State John Kerry chastised Russian President Vladimir Putin for his country’s “unwarranted interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine” and warned that “serious repercussions will be undertaken.”
“National sovereignty is a principle that you either respect or don’t,” Kerry lectured Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in high level talks this past week. “Engaging in displays of military strength or actual incursions into a foreign country in order to influence or intimidate its government is not acceptable.”
Lavrov questioned Kerry’s sincerity and historical knowledge by alluding to US intervention in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya in recent years and the American Civil War. “Hypocrisy is not a coherent policy,” the Russian Foreign Minister countered. “Unless Mr. Kerry is ready to acknowledge his own country’s violations of the sovereignty of other states and offer to make amends why should we take his current objections seriously?”
Kerry gave the Russians until Monday to “reverse course or face the consequences.” Kerry declined to elaborate on what the “consequences” might entail on the grounds that “retaining the element of surprise is crucial to the success of any armed intervention.”
Not content to wait for decisive action from the Obama Administration, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) is reportedly on his way to Ukraine “to serve as a ‘human shield’ against any further Russian incursions. All we really need is for people of stature to face down these cowardly invaders. If FDR or Churchill had placed themselves in front of the German Army on the Polish border in 1939 Hitler would never have dared attack.”
In related news, Kerry called Israel’s insistence that it be recognized as a Jewish state a mistake. “Globally, there are only 12 million Jews compared to over a billion Muslims,” Kerry observed. “Allowing such a tiny minority to block the majority’s desire to assert a different philosophy of governance for the region now known as Israel would be profoundly undemocratic. Justice requires that the lesser number yield to the greater number. My Government cannot acquiesce in a protocol that would permit a minority to rule over a majority.”

booo... Putin is planning for East Ukraine to disappear
And this time he really means it.
He’s putting Putin on double secret probation.
You go, John. Dare him to make you call your bluff.
“serious repercussions will be undertaken.”
Another red line in the sand?
John Cleese has signed to play the title role in “John Kerry - A triumphant life”
LOL!!! gonna be a hard role to play since he's never played the part of a clown BIGGER than he is...
Or what?? He’d marry the richest woman in Russia???
When I look at (actual) news quotes from Mister Obama, Kerry and the like, they almost seem to have come from Mad Magazine.
It must be difficult to satirize semi-believable, semi-true political statements as the truth could, indeed, be stranger than the satire.

“Engaging in displays of military strength or actual incursions into a foreign country in order to influence or intimidate its government is not acceptable.”
Isn’t that what we’re doing?
so what’s he going to do, send the FBI to arrest Putin??
Good one John. Thanks for the ping.
THESE PEOPLE need some Statesman training and a class on real diplomacy. Unbelievable juvenile stuff, and dangerous.
:)
Double-secret repercussions.
*chuckle*
Since Kerry has had two very wealthy wives, I’m beginning to wonder what “assets” he has the rest of us can’t see. (wink wink)
On this one Kerry really showed his low and backward level of reasoning. With the Muslims already in the USA his remarks can make an argument that the USA should not be a Nation because there are so many more Muslims in the world. Just perhaps this is what Obama is reaching to accomplish.

Priceless. Could be the old fool may have finally found a useful purpose. LOL
Thanks again for the ping.
