Stephanopoulos Grills Kerry: Is There Any Indication Putin Is Listening to Obama At All?

I think Obama WANTS Putin to do this. I think that’s what he meant by being “more flexible” after the election. I don’t think he gives a RATS ASS about ANYTHING other than America been WEAKENED......oh and GOLF and VACATIONING with his friends!!

[octex]

Kerry called upon Congress to pass economic aid for Ukraine,
***************************************
Stop it! Stop it! The billions or trillions of US taxpayers’ dollars that have been given to other countries over the past few decades has NOT endeared those countries to ‘like’ the US. And, in most cases IMO, those countries despise the US.

If Congress wants to help reduce the deficit/debt, they should begin by severely cutting funds given as foreign aid and pass legislation requiring Congressional approval before any is given. ....Other countries don’t respect the US anymore, but love the liberals who give them money.

Boy Putin is in trouble now, mac daddy just received a carton of red pens and he is willing to use the entire carton drawing red lines for months to show how angry he really really is and that Putin had better listen.

[2ndDivisionVet]

So you think that Kerry and his boss want countries to like us?

[jazzlite]

...”Lurch & Obozo = won’t end well
Putin is laughing at how well his plan is going”...

Do you suppose he decided now is the time after his own NSA learned some things about how bad things really are in America? I have given up on our dumbed-down press. They are either inept, corrupt or drugged-up. Even the comediennes are protecting the unknown consequences to what amounts to a revolution without batting an eye. Honest historians will have a lot to say about our time, that is, if the world lasts.

>> Though I do not share the love for Putin some folks around here have,

I suppose you’re being facetious.

[jsanders2001]

> Does passionately wanting someone else to go die for the Crimea count? We have lots of those.

Perfect timing to test out our new pink berets.

[DemforBush]

Not really, no. I have been flamed and insulted by more than one person here for criticizing Putin. He’s the cat’s pajamas to a few folks around here, and I’m apparently (among other things) a liberal spy or something for pointing out his failings, and clinging to the somehow absurd notion that Putin is not our buddy just because he does a couple things that appeal to us (standing up to gay activists, etc.).

[Spartan302]

Obama is nothing but a mouse that is huffing helium.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Hopefully, these abject displays of weakness will ensure that the communist Democrats wander around in the wilderness for the next 20 years.

[Joe Boucher]

Ya gots to know even Teresa kicks Kerrys ass regularly.

[ApplegateRanch]

“This really puts into question Russia’s role in the world…They are inviting the possibility of very serious repercussions, on trade, on investment, on asset freeze, on visa bans, on the potential of actions by the global community.”

Yes, I understand that, but what concrete consequences are there for Russia that Russia actually gives a damn about?

[ApplegateRanch]

Show of hands-who wants to go die for Crimea?

Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. "Forward, the Light Brigade!

[Diogenesis]

ABC covered up Obama's Moslem background.

[Zeppo]

They are inviting the possibility of very serious repercussions, on trade, on investment, on asset freeze, on visa bans, on the potential of actions by the global community.

You mean, like Obama did with Iran?

Wait, wut?

[ilovesarah2012]

Is there any indication that anyone is listening to Obama at all?

[Artie]

“Bill Clinton’s lead rear end coverer. I refuse to watch him as he is a Democrat strategist first and foremost.”

And we can all conclude that Steffy believes that the big payoff will be his role as Hillary’s clintorius.

[Jimmy Valentine]

I have been to Balaclava at that very spot Cardigan was an idiot

Kerry added that Russia was jeopardizing its membership in the G8 and G20. “You cannot behave this way in the 21st Century, and sit around the table with the normal entities and pretend that life is as usual,”

Which is exactly why the Olympics were awarded to China and Russia - they shining record of the way they treat their citizens and lie to the world.

serious repercussions, on trade, on investment, on asset freeze, on visa bans, on the potential of actions by the global community.”

Notice that every one of those "dire consequences" is economic. They think the world only cares about getting American taxpayer money. They won't dare consider anything other than words or money or symbolism, while Putin plays Risk and gobbles up more valuable territory... in much the same way that Germany gobbled up former provinces and ethnically German territory before slamming Poland and taking the mask off.
