Schumer calls Putin a 'school-yard bully'
Politico ^ | August 4, 2013 | Scott Wong

Russian President Vladimir Putin is nothing more than a “school-yard bully” and President Barack Obama should cancel their meeting in Moscow next month, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D.N.Y.) said Sunday.

Last week, Putin granted National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden temporary political asylum in Russia, prompting outrage from many U.S. officials, including Schumer.

“The relationship between the United States and Russia is more poisonous than any time since the Cold War because of all of this,” Schumer said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”

“Putin’s behaving like a school-yard bully,” he added. “Unless you stand up to that bully, they ask for more and more and more. Always going out of his way, Mr. Putin is, to poke us in the eye with Iran and Syria, now with Snowden.

But then again, I heard from reliable sources that Putin called Schumer a putz so I guess they are even.

I had king crab today from Russia...It was vey tasty. The package says processed in Orca Bay which is in Alaska.

What I really like is that they cut a gash in the pieces on one side so you can break it open pretty easily. At $10.99 a pound...it was a nice treat.

Thank you Russia.

By his actions Obama forced Edward Snowden to defect to Russia, the only nation to give him asylum, that had the cojones and ability to defy the 0bama regime. 0bama and his commie minions threatened every nation that was considering an offer of asylum, until only Russia was left

Shumer wouldn’t dare say that to Vlad’s face. Putin looks (and acts) like the sort of guy who’s killed people with his bare hands.

Remember WW1 where a system of foolhardy alliances and hurt feeling started a worldwide conflagration!?

This all smells much the same to me.

And we have an arrogant ass as president...oy vey.
