Obama: 'Strong belief' Russia violated international law
Politico ^ | March 4, 2014 | REID J. EPSTEIN and JENNIFER EPSTEIN

President Barack Obama challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin’s defense of his involvement in Ukraine, arguing Tuesday that there is widespread consensus that Russia is violating international law and urging Putin to agree to talks to de-escalate the situation.

“There is a strong belief that Russia’s action is violating international law,” Obama said at an elementary school in the District of Columbia after introducing his proposed 2015 budget. “President Putin seems to have a different set of lawyers making a different set of interpretations. I don’t think that’s fooling anybody.”

Soetoro-Obama accuses Putin of the following:

* “Operating with impunity;”

* “Violating basic principles; “

* Being “on the wrong side of History because History has shown that a sovereign people want to make their own decisions about their own lives.”

Got it - - - .

Now lemmme see - - - ?

What Soetoro-Obama says about Vlad the Putin on the topic of Ukraine is what I say about Soetoro-Obama on the topic of Obamacare.

Is it just me not having a recent cup of coffee, or am I in another Lie-Warp of Obamanation?

CNN is just literally SCREAMING at Obama to “DO SOMETHING!!”.

Meanwhile, the EU wants nothing to do with any real sanctions, because retaliation could crush the shoe-string economies dependent on Russian trade.

also, you just know Putin is being encouraged to just squeeze harder. Nobody is going to kick him out of the Ukraine, and the EU trashed their coal electric plants in favor of ones powered by Russian gas.

Windmills won’t keep Europe out of the dark.

I see he is now reduced to making important foreign policy messages before elementary school children. Wow. I guess he figured he would get as much blow back from them as he does from the DC press corps, or corpse for real. Let’s see, Lil Tommy gets home today and dad asks him how did school go today. Tommy replies: it was cool dad. Some guy showed up who said he was the president and he spoke about the cranes in the zoo. I cannot figure what that was all about. Unfortunately, he left before anyone could ask a question.

He will ride his bicycle up to the Kremlin to effect the arrest.

Obama's drone strikes in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia and Afghanistan are violating the international law. Geneva Convention states that the law of war prohibits attacks that don't discriminate between civilians and combatants. During last year, a report indicated that at least 450 civilians had been killed by US drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen.

Well, he has been busy financing the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood in a series of violent coups all around the Mediterranean. And giving them a little air support here and there.

Hey, I wonder if that could conceivably violate any international laws.
