Kerry: Russia Must Be 'Very Careful' in Judgments on Ukraine
NBC News ^ | 2/26/2014 | Carrie Dann

Posted on 02/26/2014 10:01:22 AM PST by McGruff

Secretary of State John Kerry warned Wednesday that Russia must be “very careful” in judgments it makes about Ukraine and that it must keep its commitment to respect the sovereignty of the nation.

“I think Russia needs to be very careful in the judgments that it makes going forward here,” he said in an exclusive interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell. “We are not looking for confrontation. But we are making it clear that every country should respect the territorial integrity here, the sovereignty of Ukraine. Russia has said it would do that and we think it’s important that Russia keeps its word.”

Kerry said that Russian President Vladimir Putin should “listen carefully to Ukrainians who have voiced their desire for change,” repeating that the United States does not view its relationship with Russia as a “sort of continuation of the Cold War.”

“This is not Rocky IV,” he said. “Believe me. We don’t see it that way.”

I am kinda thankful that John the traitor Kerry is such a jerk and accused veterans of war crimes. I might have become a liberal if it were not for him.

Ouch. I became a conservative because of the media and their push to keep everyone down.

Kerry is a dipshit soaked in liberal kool-aid.

“I think Russia needs to be very careful in the judgments that it makes going forward here,” he said

Why, Jon Carry? Why must they?

It seems to me that Russia has complete freedom of action here, that except for indigenous forces there can be no meaningful opposition to Russia's will in this situation, and to say otherwise is potentially destabilizing.

Putin must be about ready to soil himself. /s

Actually, he's licking his chops - he sodomized Obama on Syria - this time he gets a chance for a twofer.

Like we respected the territorial integrity of Serbia with Kosovo?

Like we respected the territorial integrity of Libya, which is now a basket case?

What hypocrisy.

“...except for indigenous forces...”

Being of Ukrainian descent myself, I can tell you this - they’re nobody to mess with or take lightly.

Pissed-off Ukies with modern automatic weapons can seriously ruin your day... and that’s just when they LIKE you...

What is John Effin’ gonna do? Throw his war medals over a fence again?

Maybe he can get Hanoi Jane to jump on a Ukrainian Anti-Aircraft gun before she dies.

“Good thing we have a Vietnam War hero as Secretary of State. He’ll show those Russians what difference it makes.”

Then, throw in a anti America Secretary of Defense and a Potus, who hates a strong America.

Then, Putin will run back to Moscow quivering and in tears.

I need a massive sarcasm symbol after posting this.
