Secretary of State John Kerry warned the U.S. and its allies will pursue a "serious series of steps" against Russia if a referendum on Crimea's status goes forward as planned this weekend. --SNIP--
The secretary also said the European community will meet on Monday, and that Obama had indicated he has a strong list of sanctions at the ready in the event that diplomacy doesn't break the stalemate over Ukraine and the Russian incursion into Crimea.

Exactly! Kerry is probably somewhere privately pissing himself. It’s a lot different that Vietnam isn’t it John. There are no Purple Hearts here for a hangnail!

I see one (and only one) good thing about Mr. Kerry’s current activities: he has less time to do damage in the Middle East.

Palestianian referendums = good
Crimean referendums = illegal
John John could at least get his foreign policy straight before beating the sabers over terminology
Love the “obama” warning about how sanctions occur of “diplomacy” breaks down
I recall studying that sanctions (and war) were intruments of diplomacy.... a continuation of politics “by other means”
and the art of diplomacy was saying “nice doggie” until you could pick up a big stick

This regime hasn’t quite figured out it’s not talking to a bunch of GOP-e invertebrates. This is the real world here, and Putin plays for keeps.

Why isn’t Chuck Norris ambassador to Russia?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Putin doesn’t care much if there’s a referendum or not, actually. (He’s preparing his next Ukraine move ... doesn’t have time for ObamaKerry silliness....)
To: Oldeconomybuyer
I am seriously serious, seriously!
