Secretary of State John Kerry warned of serious repercussions for Russia on Monday if last-ditch talks over the weekend to resolve the crisis in Ukraine failed to persuade Moscow to soften its stance.

Or what Kerry? LMAO - Obama will draw a red line? He’ll send Biden to you as punishment? Sheesh, not one person in this world is afraid Dumbo will follow up on any saber rattling.
LOL!
I always love it when peace activists talk tough. :)

I know that the Russian-Americans did not get to vote on it.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Putin demand a plebiscite in Alaska....just to make a point
Indeed it was, in 1867, by SoS William Seward. It was very controversial at the time, coming on the heels of the Civil War, and was ridiculed in the media as "Seward's Folly," or "Seward's Icebox".
He’ll have to watch every single speech BO ever made in HD.

Like Obama.
I said, when Obama was elected, that the US is at risk, but who is REALLY at risk is our “colonies*” that depend on us for protection from agressive neighbors. e.g. Taiwan, Israel, S. Korea. The exact list you mentioned.
*In an “historical” sense that is kinda what they are.
Ever see the movie “My Bodyguard”? The bodyguard is holed up in his basement.
