In what might be the worst sign of weakness yet from the Obama Administration and its followers concerning the crisis in Ukraine, on Thursday the State Department put forward the idea that "hashtags" on Twitter could prevent Russia from invading Ukraine.
"The world stands #UnitedforUkraine," began Jennifer Psaki, the current spokeswoman for the State Department. She continued, "Let’s hope that the #Kremlin & @mfa_russia will live by the promise of hashtag."
Besides the fact that "promise of hashtag" is a term that apparently Psaki coined herself, the statement itself makes little to no sense.
What promise is Ms. Psaki talking about, exactly? I am not certain that she is aware of this, but Russia is not required to follow the wishes of Twitter followers half a world away, regardless of how many people tweet "#UnitedforUkraine."

Maybe it’s a secret code that only Putin can read.

is this for real?
People truly believe that if they type something on the net it can stop WWIII? Do they think the world is a video game? a popularity contest?
Are they this stupid and delusional?
I’m pretty sure putin checks his facebook and tweets every chance he can, yet he spends most of his time on Myspace.

My wife and I watched and listened to this social mediot hashtags yesterday.
Like most liberals, they haven’t the slightest bit of reality when it comes to dealing with thugs and bad guys.
She will probably be organizing marches in NY City, Boston, and DC to protest Putin.

They're going the use the nuclear option!
Obama is playing the Race Card and the Administration is asking us to get it going. Wow. If only we had social media before. No wait. This wouldn't be happening to a white president.

Any candidate with a brain would be on TV now wrapping this around Obama’s neck.
“This is what our foreign policy has come to. Officials from the Admin thinking Twitter can save the world”
