In an op-ed piece that appeared in Politico, Sen. Marco Rubio, who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that Russia's military intervention in Ukraine calls for no less than "immediate and decisive U.S. leadership."
Rubio said that the conflict can escalate, with broader repercussions in the region, and that the United States must act swiftly and condemn Russia's actions.
“Russia's illegal military incursion in the Crimea region in Ukraine is a grave violation of a nation's sovereignty and cannot go unpunished," Rubio said in the Politico piece. "First, President Obama should speak unequivocally and call this what it is: a military invasion. Second, President Obama should dispatch Secretary Kerry and Secretary Hagel to Kiev to show U.S. support for Ukraine's transitional government. Third, the U.S. should rally our allies to boycott this June's G8 summit in Sochi."
Rubio, a Florida Republican who frequently has accused the Obama administration of being too slow to react to international crises, said Russia needs to be handed consequences if it does not retreat.

I totally agree!Let Obama have all the rope so he can hang himself.
Notice this ‘scary’ pose with his hip out of joint, hand defiantly on his hip, ‘wave’ jeans, and since he is looking down, MUST BE LISTENING, unless there is a teleprompter down there.
Another pic in the Washington Times today shows the ahole standing by the desk with ONE FOOT ON IT.
This clown has absolutely no class whatsover.
I followed the link you provided but didn’t get what Obama did to pi*s off the Chinese and Russians. More info?
Take a good look at that bumbling fool. He thinks this photo is going to depict him looking presidential? Really?
He looks like he just got back from a Starbucks run. Next he’ll head over to Walmart.
He has all the charisma of a wet sock.
Hi,
This is a somewhat different point of view:

I found this to be a good clip also:

Exactly. I think Rubio needs to stick to chasing amnesty for illegals. He's much better at that.
I don’t like waiting.
Well, except for sending Kerry and Hagel to Kiev...but toward what end?
I suspect neither wants to go.
If they did would the promise to defend the new Ukrainian "Government" against Russian aggression?
It's apparent Rubio is no more suited for the White House than the current occupant and Cruz is showing no better.
It's a damn shame.
I don’t think the empty suite squatting in the White House can have anybody do anything. Everybody knows he’s nothing but a feckless fairy.
This is a very dangerous time for the USA to have such incompetent “leadership”. God help us all.
Speaking of Walmart runs, did you notice the brand new "manly jeans" instead of the mom jeans he loves so much.
And that white thing hanging off his left elbow sure looks like a retail security tag.
Hand on hips, well that sure as hell is straight (if I can use that term) from the gay model pose handbook. You can almost hear the mood setting Village People singing "Macho Man" in the background.
Okay, you got me there. He just returned from shop lifting at Walmart! LMAO
I guess we should be thankful he doesn’t have the bottoms of his shoes on the desk in this photo.
Take a good look at that bumbling fool. He thinks this photo is going to depict him looking presidential? Really?

The “conversation” is one-sided. Putin is telling hussein to “pound sand.”
And if the Russians still refuse to leave Ukraine, do we drive them out militarily?
Is that what you propose?
Marco should shut up, go over there, and let the Russians waste his sorry ass!
Grab a rifle, Marco.
Putin is telling him, “Now go home and get your effing shinebox.”
This is not the Reagan presidency. Our own country is falling to pieces because idiots are kowtowing to “gays” and illegals. We are broke, and Russia under Putin is a different animal entirely. Rubio is a joke—just like the rest of our “public servants”.
