Oh brother.

Not the comfy chair?!

Comfy Chair

“Right now we are focused on political and economic and diplomatic options,” a senior administration official said. “We are looking to de-escalate this.”

No kidding. TRANSLATION: we are peeing our pants over here.

Asked if the administration had any reason to believe Putin was responding to the pressure and the condemnation, a senior official replied with a implicit shot at former President George W. Bush: “We in this administration have made it a practice not to look into Vladimir Putin’s soul,” the official said.

Blame Bush?! And Kerry is saying that PUTIN is DESPERATE?

Somebody on here comment:

This morning when surfing news channels I caught a discussion(sorry, forgot which channel) with a well known college professor commenting about the Ukraine mess. He said that in 2010 Ukraine had a monitored(by the US and many other western countries)national election that elected their president as well as the legislature. The elections were declared fair and legal. Now comes 2014 and the riots start, resulting in the overthrow of the president and their 1300 legislators are thrown out of office.

A council then appointed a new president as well as new legislators. Not elected, but appointed. Now comes Putin in the Crimea and so far only the Crimea protecting their interests in the naval and other military facilities in there.

So who supports the legal and proper government of Ukraine? Putin or Obammy? Obammy seems to me to support the illegal self appointed government! Rebels, revolutionists.

Is Obammy, OKerry, the MSM and all the rest of the world on the wrong side?

Obama tells Putin ‘if you like Ukraine you can keep Ukraine’

[RetiredArmy]

Cowards speak.

[gusopol3]

Obama:” I can be much more flexible after the election.”
Medvedev “ I’ll tell Vladimir.”

[LowTaxesEqualsProsperity]

Comical. We’re going to “isolate” the largest country in the world, with a top 10 economy, that is a major trading partner with Germany?

Are they smoking dope or doing lines of blow again in the White House?

Russell Berman needs to take a refresher course in writing. I can hardly understand this article.

Two big issues in Russia’s favor:

1. Russia is rich in natural resources; someone will always want to strike a deal.

2. Obama is a dipshit.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

The strategy, described in a briefing senior administration officials on the condition of anonymity, was aimed at demonstrating to Putin that his intervention in Crimea would not go unpunished while also offering him “an offramp” if he chose to reverse course.

Of course the Russian for "offramp" translates as "blowjob."

What is Obama going to do?

Unfriend Putin on Facebook??
Putin is the most influential leader of the world, now. And it’s what the TV told the American Sheeple to vote for.

[Spartan302]

Wouldn’t it be ironic that Putin offers to invade America to remove Obama and restore a free country?

And you know what?

I would accept his offer.

[xzins]

I can’t believe the media carries water for Obama like this. If the world’s nations have to be forced not to trade with the likes of Iran, North Korea, and other undesirables, but they still sneak around the edges defying those restrictions, then how much attention will they pay to someone asking them not to deal with a major Oil & NG provider with the biggest military in their entire area?

[Hacksaw]

The Obama administration on Sunday worked to isolate Russia on the world stage even as its president, Vladimir Putin, showed no signs of rolling back his military intervention in Ukraine.

Unfortunately for Obama, Putin is concerned about Russian interests, not getting a good review in the New York Times.

[ColdOne]

Good grief. The administration is insane.

[Rebelbase]

We can’t have Russia disrupting scheduled golf games.

[VerySadAmerican]

I doubt any of those world leaders trust Obama. They know he’ll back down after they stick their necks out.
