(CNSNews.com) In an interview Wednesday with a local Washington, D.C., affiliate, Secretary of State John Kerry said he doesnt know anyone who wants the U.S. to go to war with Russia over Crimea, an autonomous republic in the southern region of Ukraine before Russias military intervention.
I dont know anybody in America who has suggested to go to war over Crimea. Do you want to go to war over Crimea? I dont know anybody who says you ought to go to war over Crimea, so therefore, your options are economic and diplomatic and isolation, Kerry said.
As CNSNews.com previously reported, despite repeated warnings by the Obama administration not to interfere in Ukraines soverneignty, Russia intervened militarily in the region. On March 2, the U.S. acknowledged that Russia was in control of Crimea. On March 16, Crimea voters approved a referendum to secede from Ukraine and join Russia.
On March 17, the White House announced it had imposed travel bans and froze the assets of seven senior Russian and four Ukrainian officials. Putin was not sanctioned though, because it would be highly unusual and rather extraordinary for the U.S. to sanction a head of a state of another country, a senior administration official said.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
He must be off McCain’s “Friends” list.
I guess he doesn’t know McCain
Kerry, him not smart much.
I guess he doesn’t know any Turks. Erdogan said he would block the Bosporus if Crimean Tatars come to any harm by this Russian takeover.
The Crimean War (1854-56) developed because of an argument between the French and Russian. This is not a repeat of 1854. Or is it?
So John, you don't remember me, after all those campaign contributions?
You CAN’T go to war over Crimea, Horseface, or anything else, because you and your boss are douche filling stations, and ain’t no one skurred of you or your boss except the chickensh!t GOP.
Has Kerry checked with bomb, bomb, bomb McCain? This is all Obama baiting. The further we can keep from war, the further we are from 10,000,000 draft, rationing, war taxes, Rosie the Riveter back in the factory for that’s what it took to beat Hitler and Putin has more plus the bomb.
John F*ckn:
If Crimea is not important enough to die for, why p*ss off the Russians? What is the point? Do you know?
Pathetic.
Not to worry, mac daddy, the pu**y, just received another 100 boxes of red pens.

The Crimean War happened because Britain and France wanted to contain Russia so they joined with the Ottomans to inflict a defeat on Russia.
They still remember that in Russia and that is exactly why the country is not backing down on Crimea. Russians have never forgotten their humiliation at the hands of the West and are delighted today to see the West squirm in impotence.
They feel that is more than justified payback.
Just be glad Wes Clark isn’t running the show. That idiot was willing to start a war with Russia over the Pristina Airport.
Fortunately the Brit on the ground told him “NO”
This is probably what Neville Chamberlain said about the Sudetenland.
You know who that Brit was, right?
