President Barack Obamas national security adviser said Sunday it would be a grave mistake for Russia to intervene militarily in Ukraine.
Susan Rice said on NBCs Meet the Press that in Obamas phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday the two agreed that a political settlement in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, should ensure the unity of the country and the right of Ukrainians to express their free will. She was asked whether the White House fears Putin will send Russian troops into Ukraine.
That would be a grave mistake, she said. Its not in the interest of Ukraine or of Russia or of Europe or the United States to see the country split.

It’s not her business to say.
What is Obama going to do? Declare war on Russia?
Putin laughs at this clown.
Hmm, another line in the sand that will keep moving?
Translation: “We will write them a letter, telling them how angry we are.”
Look, Susan, if President Jarrett wasn't willing to use military force to save Americans, why should Putin be worried she'd use it to save Ukrainians?
If anything, Putin knows that Jarrett's mouthpiece will do the exact opposite of whatever he says.
Barry may have just given Vlad the "go" signal.
But everyone knows, that Obama speaks big words but carries a little stick... a very little stick. So Susan, just what are you prepared to do about it?
Pause to laugh, that is.
The United States has been rendered irrelevant.
Is this really the best venue to be discussing his manhood..................
Rice to Putin-Dear Sir-f*** you-strong letter follows...
The whole world knows this Rice is no Condi, and her boss is a spineless wimp when confronted by just about anyone on the world stage...
I’m surprised the chronic liar rice didn’t blame a utube video for causing the problems in Ukraine. She is an ultimate affirmative-action loser.
Just like it would have been a mistake for the US to move again the terrorists attacking and murdering American embassy officials.
I disagree. She’s National Security Adviser. However, it seems she’s being deliberately provocative in her choice of words.
Whoo! I’ll bet Putin is shaking in his boots over this bit of news.....
I’d be more interested to hear what Condoleezza Rice has to say about this. Nobody cares what Susan Rice has to say about this, least of all the man she works for.
...and then there’s that Gay rights issue. We truly are laughing stocks of the world.
LOL, Its not in the interest of Fascist Western Europe or the United States to see the country split, but very much in the interest of Russia who will gain absolute control of an important naval base, and absolute control of the petro and nat gas pipelines through Ukraine.
One has to wonder whether barky actually believes Putin will take his threat seriously, or if barky's threat is meant entirely for domestic consumption.
I'm thinking the latter.
A STERNly-worded letter, no doubt:
