(Reuters) - Russia said any U.S. sanctions imposed on Moscow over the crisis in Ukraine will boomerang back on the United States and that Crimea has the right to self-determination as armed men tried to seize another Ukrainian military base on the peninsula.
In a telephone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned against "hasty and reckless steps" that could harm Russian-American relations, the foreign ministry said on Friday.
"Sanctions...would inevitably hit the United States like a boomerang," it added.

One minor issue though. Laws being nullified also means the entire US government body is nullified as well.
$1.89 billion? Chump change! Obama will write them a check to pay the gas bill. Boner and McConnell and McCain gave him a checkbook with an unlimited amount of checks.
I wonder how long before our credit rating tanks because of this.
“LMAO! You got ‘em down pat!”
Well, I was serious about that. You have no idea how many leftists I trapped in a dark parking lot as a county councilman with no witnesses around. Those commie boys pissed their pants by the gallons. Not bragging; just making an observation.
“$1.89 billion? Chump change! Obama will write them a check to pay the gas bill.”
Great! So Russia will cash the check. Brilliant! Not only Russia gets Crimea back, but it comes with a fat check, signed by Obama.
Sorry, I can’t type anymore. I’m shaking with laughter.
All Europe has to do is cut off all Russian oil and gas....there left with windmills...fools all...
“Wonder how long it will be before China calls in it’s markers. I say not long.”
And so what if they do? Will they invade us? Will 100 divisions of ChiComm apes suddenly appear in the Texas sagebrush?
The 50 IQ ChiComm apes don’t have the logistical means to invade Taiwan, let alone the US.
There’s a number of ding-dong stupid FReepers who believe that China can invade the US.
Take back the color blue.
Blue Spring
Free Washington
Free Cuba
FUN (F* the UN)
BTW the people are starting to complain about street crime and militias creating chaos.....dah...like we didn't see this coming...the oligarchs have their guys in the streets and otherwise.
They think if they can create enough instability then the US/EU will somehow come to their aide militarily and in more revenue. They know they are no match against Russia.
I do think that Putin will be ‘called on’ to use his military if things get really nasty....the EU/US and NATO sure as heck aren't going to get their hands dirty in view of the audience... That's why Putin sent in troops without identification....the Int'l Community wanted him to be there because they aren't going in and he has the closest men to get the job done. Every's laughing because they think Putin's just trying to hide it's his troops, when in fact Putin was concerned it would look like Russia was invading.... he could simply deny and his prize for keeping Ukraine from going into major civil war conflict among it's citizens.....Crimea.
.....”stupid FReepers who believe that China can invade the US”.....
Stealth invasion...they’re already here...just like Mexicans...Muslims/Islamists...etc. And they’re being placed in political positions throughout our country’s governing offices.... favorable to their whatever ideology they determine American politics should go.
You really need to take a strong look at who owns what businesses here....land and property...as well as political positions.
Well hey, paying those bills is what the IMF is for.
Alas!
Strange you should mention China. I was hit rather hard by this when I listened to it: http://www.thechinaplan.com/?gclid=CLLRw6np77wCFZTm7AodZhQAmg
Why on earth do they need to invade? All they have to do is confiscate our IP and facilities already there and sell them across the world as payment. That’s what a bank does right? Repo your stuff when you do not pay?
And then what are WE gonna do? Invade THEM? Actions have consequences. And I sort of doubt they care how American laws define forfeiture when there is a whole world outside America that cares less by the day.
Obama and his cronies in both parties have screwed us royally. Many of ‘us’ helped.
Good point Norm.
Obama raged recently against French Business Exec’s. “exploring” working with Iran:
” we will come down on them (Businesses) like a ton of bricks with respect to the sanctions that we control.”
Guess France weren’t listening:
“Earlier this month ‘Iran welcomed a delegation of more than 100 French executives’, telling them the far-sighted among the group would gain in the race for businesses following an ease of economic sanctions.

Unfortunately Zero’s weakness has created a situation where IMO, my post is a very possible situation. He has bulled a lot of people in a lot of countries in ways that Bush never did. I doubt they forgot.
I don’t like thinking this stuff but I can’t ignore it either. Who is the world gonna side with? A Russia/Chinese alliance or us? Those two are dictatorial sure. And Barry isnt? The NSA thing BY IT SELF turned the world against us.
They will not just let it go especially considering he is still doing it. Even ramping it up. So if China shuts us off, we have no manufacturing capacity to immeadiately fill the gap. If we cannot import stuff from elsewhere we go without.
China makes a lot of military parts right? Think they are not all backdoored? Anyone want to try attacking China to find out? I doubt many do. All that stuff is real. No way does China not take advantage of the scenario they have been setting up for years.
And thanks to Barry, we become very alone in the world. We have nukes we will never again use. We have a military that will never be ordered to either attack or defend. We have 47 percent or MORE of America that could care less who sits in DC as long as it aint an evil right winger.
Yea. I’m sorta pessimistic. I think I have good reason to be. But what the heck. It’s a lesser evil right? Must be. Aside from Ted Cruz, who lifts a finger to stop it?
