Sen. Charles Schumer: ‘Serious consequences’ for Russian decision to help Snowden
The Washington Times ^ | Sunday, June 23, 2013 | By David Eldridge

President Vladimir Putin’s decision to allow Edward Snowden to land in Russia will have “serious consequences” for U.S.-Russian relations, Sen. Charles E. Schumer said Sunday.

Mr. Schumer, New York Democrat, said on CNN that the Russian involvement in the Snowden case, coming as the former national security worker arrived in Moscow on Sunday from Hong Kong, was not the action of an ally.

“The bottom line is very simple: Allies are supposed to treat each other in decent ways, and Putin always seems almost eager to put a finger in the eye of the United States, whether it is Syria, Iran and now of course with Snowden,” Mr. Schumer said. “That’s not how allies should treat each other, and I think it will have serious consequences for the United States-Russia relationship.”

Funny, but that's just about the way I feel about you, Charlie boy.

Hahahahaha! This Gomer thinks that Russia is an ally of the United States? And he’s a senior US Senator who is consulted on various issues?

Who are going to trust?

The Russian mafia and former head of the KGB or a Democratic Senator from the stink hole of New York?

I take the Russian mafioso because Russia be loosening totalitarian controls while New York be tightening totalitarian control.

I do not think there are any food police in Moscow but Bloomberg is trying to establish the food police in NYC.

So... not only are we going to meet with the Taliban... Russia is now our friend? This is being said as we and Russian are arming two different factions in Syria?

This country has no diplomacy or foreign relations... I mean seriously... what a joke this administration is... complete with a bumbling jackass chief executive wthat can’t give a speech in front of the German people without a teleprompter.

I hope the damage being done is reversible... foreign and domestic.

Consequences? In what fantasyland does Senator Turd reside? What consequences, Senator Turd? Do you think you are a senator of a country that still matters? Do you not understand your boss's mission? Which is to cut the United States down to size!

You and the Commander in Chief no longer matter.

Yeah, I bet they're real scared once the found out that the new secretary of the USAF only qualification for the job is that he's a homosexual.

'Course that already had that laugh about Big Sis.

Then there is the 2008 presidential election.

The mind reels at what intel Vlad may have on Chucky and his cohorts in the Senate.

Putin is laughing at girly-man post-America. He knows our ‘leaders’ and our people are weak.

I find it strangely odd that schmuck never complains about how slobama treats Israel and Netanyahu, but goes all spaz at how putin treats le bam. Besides that, schmuck is ugly.
