Krauthammer’s Take: Obama Tells the World We Aren’t Going to Do Anything About Invasion of Ukraine

As reports are coming in that Russia has placed 2,000 troops in Crimea, within the borders of Ukraine, President Obama said that “the United States will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine.”

Charles Krauthammer responded on Special Report tonight saying, “The Ukrainians, and I think everybody, is shocked by the weakness of Obama’s statement. I find it rather staggering.”

Krauthammer thinks Obama’s statement is about “three levels removed” from actual action. He explained: Obama said “we will stand with the international community — meaning we are going to negotiate with a dozen other countries who will water down the statement — in affirming that there will be costs — meaning in making a statement not even imposing a cost, but in making a statement about imposing a cost — for any military intervention.”

“What he’s saying is we’re not really going to do anything and we’re telling the world,” Krauthammer said.

Anyone who thinks we're still living in the "US-good guy, Soviet Union-bad guy" days is in a pitiable state of denial. I assume you were one of Bush's cheerleaders when he embarked on the Iraqi disaster. At least the Ukraine is on Russia's backdoorstep. We ventured half a world away to throw Iraq into turmoil and install an Islamic republic.

Russia is the only major power which is in any way interested in the welfare of Christians. The US is directly responsible for the death and persecution of thousands in the Middle East. Russia is the only major power which opposes the sodomite agenda and refuses to bow to the secularist, godless agenda of the West.

Wake up and see the opposite directions in which the US and Russia are heading.

Hitler told everyone he was a Christian, and Germany was supposed to be a Christian nation.Same with Italy under Mussolini.Americans oppose the sodomite agenda, they just are not born again doing it.

If you like the Russian Health Care Plan, you can keep it.

It's no longer 1962. Get over it. The Soviet Union is gone.

America's greatest enemies are now right here, at home. In this country. The socialists, secularists, humanists, hedonists and relativists have taken over, right under your nose.

America's demise will not be brought about by Russians or Muslims. It will be brought about by Americans.
