Its MY pure fantasy, I imagined this conversation:
(Phone rings)
Putin: Putin speaking, who’s there?
Obama: Its me again, President Putin. I demand you remove your troops from Crimea.
Putin: President Obama, I demand you remove your military base from Guantanamo in Cuba.
Obama: What happens in the Western Hemisphere stays in the Western Hemisphere. Its none of your business.
Putin: What happens in the Eastern Hemisphere stays in the Eastern Hemisphere. Its none of your business.
Obama: But France and Germany say ...
Putin: France, Germany, pfft. With Germany wed been there, done that, remember 1941-45? Is momma Merkel sure to go there again?
Obama: Well, I draw the red line, too bad you ignore it.
Putin: Oh, no, red lines and more red lines, what are you, a communist? Ha! (Click.)
Some Ukranians knew the US was behind this early on and protested at the US embassasy because they learned things were being orchestrated from the US embassy in Jan. 2014
Amazing how when people finally get the truth..and see for themselves...things begin to change. Hopefully Putin will not have to do anything....if he does the US and press will indeed retaliate....they know if they loose Ukraine..no missile sites...no oil grap...no resouces...no payback to the millions they dumped into this uprising.
