Secretary of State John Kerry warned Wednesday that Russia must be “very careful” in judgments it makes about Ukraine and that it must keep its commitment to respect the sovereignty of the nation.
“I think Russia needs to be very careful in the judgments that it makes going forward here,” he said in an exclusive interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell. “We are not looking for confrontation. But we are making it clear that every country should respect the territorial integrity here, the sovereignty of Ukraine. Russia has said it would do that and we think it’s important that Russia keeps its word.”
Kerry said that Russian President Vladimir Putin should “listen carefully to Ukrainians who have voiced their desire for change,” repeating that the United States does not view its relationship with Russia as a “sort of continuation of the Cold War.”
“This is not Rocky IV,” he said. “Believe me. We don’t see it that way.”

I was a traitor and baby when an alcoholic baby killer's neighbor started calling me an alcoholic traitor baby. I was an alcoholic, traitor, and neighbor-killing baby.

“Russia, yeah they better watch what they say, but you know, we’re not looking for any confrontations”.
I bet Putin is shaking in his boots.

That is not Liam Neeson.
That is Liam Neeson’s lesser-known Ukrainian cousin, Liam Nieschenko.

I swear I’m still sober today, and meant what I meant to say:

Looks like both Jr. and Sr. jackasses are about to get pimp
slapped again. They haven’t learned that they just don’t
have what it takes to go up against Putin. How many lines
are they up to? 20? You watch, two lies to slap down.
