Secretary of State John Kerry appeared on multiple political talk shows on Sunday to make the administration's case on the conflict in Ukraine. The downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, he said on "Fox News Sunday," was a "moment of truth" for Russia in which Russian President Vladimir Putin needed to "exert all of the influences they have" to protect the integrity of an investigation into what happened.

John Kerry’s moment of truth was when he engineered his fourth band aid Purple heart and was transferred out of Viet Nam after only a few months in theater.

Being a Polish citizen, I'm a mere guest here at freerepublic.com, nevertheless, I'd like to share with you some of my thoughts.
1. When on 10th of April 2010, Polish government plane with President Lech Kaczyński and his wife hit the ground, leading to death of more then 90 Polish officials, it lead to a wave of tasteless jokes about "how eagle has landed (vide. Dutch newspapers)". Western European leaders dismissed the idea of act of terrorism despise the evidence that this was a planned operation by forces trained in this field of expertise.
It was clear that this "incident" did not happen because of bad weather, pilots mistake, lack of knowledge of russian, etc. It simply was a cold blooded murder. President Kaczyński was a stout catholic with great influence on Polish nation, he was a hero who fought against communists during the dark moments of our Polish history.
I might not agree with all his ideas, nevertheless, I believe he always made decisions based only on his will to serve and protect his nation.
In this brave new world, that's how you sign your own deathwish, I guess.
2. Mr President Obama, knowing about the tragedy did not take time to visit Polish embassy, he prefered to play golf. I guess it's fine, we're just another, little, European, post-communist, catholic country that has been USA's friend since... the beggining of your state! Even though it cost us a lot (after 9/11/2001 when Polish govermnent informed that we will be sending our troops to help USA in WOT, French president told that we "have lost our chance to shut up").
3.Western Europe is shocked that someone can kill their citizens and will not take the punishment... Polish govermnent has warned UN, EU, USA, etc. that the country called "Russia" is nothing more then a rouge state led by a tyrant dreaming of restornig the bipolar world dominiation.
All our warnings were dismissed as a sign of "Polish russophobia". Well... now you have it, chips went down, people got killed, what kind of evidence do you need? 4. Finally, I still believe that Polish people and American Nation share the same values. We are still here, we will stand our ground. Muslims, Nazis, Commies, they all tried to eradicate us from these lands, but they all failed. If foreign power will try to establish their sick rule over Poland, they will meet same kind of resistance they have met always, we'll make them another 1920's Polish-Bolshevik war.
This post is not to show reluctance towards our - Polish - American relations, I believe that both our nations should support each other.

John Kerry: You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you dont, you get stuck in Iraq. John Kerry: You know if you are a dumb slacker born with a silver spoon in your mouth and can find a way to marry rich women you can do well."

Sure, right. I learned that from the news.
I won’t argue this because it is pointless. Getting all excited and anger filled will have no effect on what Obama does.
See, he already has Lurch at the table.
This story will disappear in the wake of the next story. It is a formula.
Have a nice day.

The backing of ISIS is John Kerry’s moment of truth. Why did he train and fund this group? Information now out says we knew they were in our terrorist (Insurgent) training camps in Jordan.

Hey Putie groupie,

In the article it states the Middle launcher that murdered these innocent people was sent back to Russia .

Your sweet KGB thug moved the bodies to a deserted rail station and is letting them rot until that evil thug can extort so something from these useless Western leaders.
Are ya proud of your thug and his murder of 22 school kids and letting them rot in field and now a deserted train.
Is there anything you Putin groupies wont defend your KGB thug about ?
Here is a hint he hates the West.
But like his idol Lenin he appreciates all Useful idiots!

At this point, Poland is the only thing keeping Russia out of Western Europe. You are the leader in Europe. Once Poland falls, the west will crumble. And the way things are going with Islam in Western Europe, you may end up between a rock and a hard place. You should strengthen your ties with Israel, the leader of the Free World. The US will only give you pain and sorrow. It is the leader of the Crony World now.
