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.”

President Putin,

Trust us on this one.. you have nothing to fear. Your political forebears would’ve had cause for concern back in the era of Reagan, but America isn’t all that fearsome these days. A country that elects and re-elects Barack Hussein Obama, refuses to defend its own borders, puts 25% of its population on food stamps, wants to unilaterally eliminate its own nuclear force, homosexualizes its military and installs homo activists as Service secretaries isn’t all that dangerous to you and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

Oh, never mind... we saw the onvious disdain you have for Obama... the pics and videos said it all. You already KNEW all that!

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?

Putin comes a whole lot closer to being an ally of the American people than Obama does, so I'm willing to forgive the error.

Maybe Chuckie can take a little stroll out to Brighton Beach area of Brooklyn and spew his rhetoric to his electorate. In fact, I doubt Chuckles has the gonads to do that.

It’s fun to watch these rats scrambling. For that alone I think Snowden is a patriot.

Chuckie started the US on the "Great Recession" road by disclosing the confidential IndyBank letter—just in time for the 2008 election.

To Democrats, this Republic is just a game...

My comment to Chuckles dates back to the 1970’s “Gong Show” and the Unknown Comic:

“Hey, Chuckie-baby, let’s play horse. I’ll be the front end, and you just be yourself!!!!”

Schumer is threatening to exclude the Russian mob from the immigration bill. That would leave the US wide open for the Mexican gangs and Middle East terrorists.

The way Putin is acting, he could be elected President HERE. He is making more sense than our politicians.

I loved when he pointed out that we are supporting rebels who eat the organs of their victims on You Tube. He wondered if it was a good idea to give those people bigger weapons.

Can’t say as I disagree.

I grew up in the cold war. Hiding under desks. It boggles my mind how i find myself 100% behind Snowden and both Russia and China for helping him.

He proves he is basically delusional...allies? These people live in a parallel universe.
