President Barack Obama challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin’s defense of his involvement in Ukraine, arguing Tuesday that there is widespread consensus that Russia is violating international law and urging Putin to agree to talks to de-escalate the situation.
“There is a strong belief that Russia’s action is violating international law,” Obama said at an elementary school in the District of Columbia after introducing his proposed 2015 budget. “President Putin seems to have a different set of lawyers making a different set of interpretations. I don’t think that’s fooling anybody.”

LOL! Some comedy just writes itself. Yeah, Putin is quaking in his boots now that he has been thoroughly castigated by the yellow legal pad lawyers.

I have it on good authority that Putin used legally crafted Executive Orders to launch in the Crimea.

yeah, just don’t ask him about Constitutional law and his 28 waivers.
If he were any smarter he would hurt himself with a pencil and a jar of mint scented glue.

What’s all the fuss about? Obama’s closer ideologically to Russia, Putin, and the old USSR than to America. So what’s the problem?
