U.S. warns Russia against annexing Crimea
Washington Post ^ | March 16, 2014 | By Karen DeYoung

Posted on 03/16/2014 9:10:32 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Having failed to prevent a Russian-sponsored referendum in Crimea, the Obama administration and its European allies refocused their efforts Sunday on keeping Moscow from annexing the autonomous Ukrainian region and expanding its military moves into other parts of Ukraine.

In a telephone call to Russian President Vladi­mir Putin — his third in two weeks — President Obama said that the referendum “would never be recognized by the United States and the international community” and that “we are prepared to impose additional costs on Russia for its actions,” the White House said.

Threaten to send Michelle to their farmland. The thought of her eating the Russkies into starvation should rattle them.

I really don’t think that Valerie Jarrett or the other puppeteers have the knowledge or skill to deal with this problem. Forget Obambi . . . he will only do whatever his puppet masters tell him to do.

America is in real trouble right now, and Obambi’s so-called czars are incapable of handling this . . . pray for our Republic.

Obama is a laughingstock and his vaunted Secretary of State is a recidivist traitor, a Miles Gloriosus and a back-shooter.

Vlad must be ready to soil himself in the face of their onslaught.

I never thought I would see our Beloved Nation descend to such a depth.

As old and weak as I am, I will arm myself!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Bad move. Russia will not give up the Crimea because it is absolutely crucial to control of the Black Sea and access to the Med.

In related news, Islam is also "seething at Russia over Crimnea" and is threatening Jihad against Russia. Interesting that Obama's foreign policy puts America, yet again, on the same side of the fence as the Islamic radicals, isn't it?

“Stop! Or I’ll say ‘Stop’ again!”

What weak soggy demonstrations these so called leaders of ours do.
If they really meant business, they’d send Kerry, Hillary, Pelosi, Reid, Barbara Boxer, Hank Johnson, and Michelle over.

“we are prepared to impose additional costs on Russia for its actions,”

Like what? Defriending Putin on Facebook?
Having the millions of OFA-controlled Twitter bots say bad things about Putin??

Regardless of your opinion of the Ukraine situation, Putin is pulling all of the strings here, and even this insane White House has to know it. Turn off the gas valves and Europe grinds to a halt, sitting in the dark.

For Putin, this is about the economic future of Russia, and Crimea plays a huge part in that. Ukraine becoming yet another victim of the Open Society/Soros NGO’s just opened up the opportunity to move.

Remember folks...
While Obama was studying Alinsky’s “rules For Radicals”, Putin was studying Machiavelli’s “The Prince”.

In the upcoming days, you will see ESPN broadcasting Obama's devotion to his bracket. Yet Obama couldn't be bothered to attend yesterday's National Security Meeting on Ukraine which was held AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

We could alleviate the situation by supplying Europe with coal, but the Enviro-Nazis won’t allow it.
