U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry provided Russia with a stern warning Thursday evening — start complying with the de-escalation agreement brokered last week in Geneva, or face the wrath of new U.S. sanctions.

Kerry delivered a terse statement from the State Department's briefing room late Thursday, during which he blasted Russia for not taking a "single step in the right direction" toward de-escalation. He criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for what he called outlandish claims that the Internet is a "CIA plot."

“I dare wonder if Obama would ever consider embroiling the US in a regional conflict with Russia on their turf.
It would successfully bleed us white and get many good Americans, whom Obama despises, killed.”

Go back to the manual...
No, I don’t mean the Constitution, but to Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals”.

Rule #11 - Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

That is why Obama is going personal with the sanctions.
He thinks they fear our media, and cre more about themselves, than the country.
Like the people in the White House.

Thats almost as bad - they have no idea who they are dealing with or how they, as leader of a powerful potential enemy, may react to a personal attack.

I'm also afraid that these silly clowns in DC believe all that dorm room rap session crap about the 'end of history' and that countries seeking to acquire territory by use of brute force is an anachronism relegated to the twentieth century.

“they have no idea who they are dealing with or how”

As I have said before, this is Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”, vs. Machiavelli’s “The Prince”.

Yes, it is. And the Russians are playing it up, for all it’s worth.

The zenith of Kerry’s hubris is marked by his own belief that other people actually take him seriously.
