Kerry plan Kiev Vacation
day late and a dollar short as usual. From my understanding, Crimea wants mother Russia in charge? So, what’s the fuss?
“John Kerry will travel to Kiev Tuesday in a show of support for the new Ukrainian government. “
No matter the issue, our government is probably on the wrong side.
Simple. Putin good. Kerry bad.
Recent developments make the Winter Olympics in Sochi seem like ages ago.
Kerry is showing support for which new Ukrainian government? The one that speaks Russian or the other one?
Who cares? Crimea is Russian, and has mucho naval assets. Is Putin supposed to just give them up like the impotent douche Obama gave up our most advanced drone to the Iranians/Chinese hackers who brought it down?
It now enters into the realm of settled law,
What difference, at this point, does it make?
Could they state something even more obvious?
Meanwhile, Obama will visit CT (again) to discuss raising the minimum wage. Glad he solved the Ukraine thing.

"I am asking neither that Germany be allowed to oppress three and a half million Frenchmen, nor am I asking that three and a half million Englishmen be placed at our mercy. Rather I am simply demanding that the oppression of three and a half million Germans in Czechoslovakia cease and that the inalienable right to self-determination take its place."

If Russia gets away with this, which is almost certain, will China make moves on territories of interest (tawain, etc)? Will North Korea (South Korea)?
It is rather obvious no one will do anything.
Boy, I sure bet that would get old Vlad's attention!
The Euros and this U.S. admin have conducted their agendas in both Syria and now Ukraine in a similar and similarly stupid fashion.
In both cases it’s like all they had ever fully planned was just the kick-off, and then to play it by ear after that.
Putin has shown, more than once, that when he acts, if he is going to act, he never acts that way. If he is going to be involved, to get involved, then he’s already considered the what ifs, all of them, and he knows already what he’ll do in each of them.I’m sure he had considered all he is doing right now when he made the geopolitical bribe to the now deposed leader in Ukraine. He already knew what he would do if the reaction in Ukraine became what it did become, and got his man in Ukraine thrown out of office.
While, the Euros and the U.S. NEVER played a chess game in their minds, anticipating Putin’s reactions and steps to their attempt to “detach” Ukraine from Russia.
It has taken them to this crisis point to be given an opportunity to finally admit that the “end of the cold war” has not achieved the same meaning in Russia, to Putin, as it has in the majorities of the political class among the Euros and the U.S.
Will Russia’s economic need for good hard currencies and western Europe’s need for energy raw materials (1/3 of W. Euro coal, oil, as imports are from Russia) (1)get Russia to pull back out of Crimea, or (2)leave Crimea as the compromise end to it?
Mean time, Obama plans a telephone call to LeBron too tell him how much he loved the black mask he wore in the NBA games and then heads to shoot a few hoops and hit the tee time by noon.
” John Kerry will travel to Kiev Tuesday in a show of support for the new Ukrainian government.”
John Kerry, will fly to Kiev in “an attempt to halt a further Russian advance into Ukraine” (according to BBC). How he will achieve THAT in Kiev, it remais to be seen.
If the US wants to be taken seriously, it will have to keep this cown from travelling.
