In response to Russian interference in the Ukraine, Barack Obama has flashed bursts of umbrage:
The president on Monday ordered sanctions against Russian and Ukrainian officials following Sunday’s secession referendum in Crimea, a vote he said was “a clear violation of the Ukrainian constitution and international law.”He said the United States would “calibrate our response based on whether Russia chooses to escalate or deescalate the situation.”
“We are imposing sanctions on specific individuals responsible for undermining the sovereignty, territorial integrity and government of Ukraine,” Obama said. “We're making it clear that there are consequences for their actions.”
Pledging to “stand firm in our unwavering support for Ukraine,” the president insisted “Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected and international law must be upheld.”
“We have been guided by a fundamental principle: the future of Ukraine must be decided by the people of Ukraine,” the president said.

Doesn’t the Ukrainian constitution say to remove the previous president he should have been impeached?
