WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Denouncing Russia’s actions in Crimea as ‘‘nothing more than a land grab,’’ Vice President Joe Biden warned Russia on Tuesday that the U.S. and Europe will impose further sanctions as Moscow moved to annex part of Ukraine.
With limited options, the United States was seeking ways to show it won’t stand idly by as Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a treaty for the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea to join Russia.

“Obama sends in yet another clown.”
He’s getting short of clowns.
Almost all are in Europe now.
They will put up a “Clowns’ Contest” in Piccadily Circus, London
Pushing back on Russia, Biden vows more sanctimony.
You mean vows more hypocrisy.
He's playing the sad White Clown's part. Joe is the Clown AUGUSTE.
Maybe because he knows that if it comes to a shooting war, NATO will fight to the last Pole.
Hilarious - we are talking down to the Russians like they’re an errant child.
I wonder who is the adult in the room here. It is certainly isn’t Vice President Joe Biden.
Who radiates weakness wherever he goes. If I’m a Russian listening to him, I’m dying of laughter.
Who almost started WWIII in Kosovo? It wasn’t the Russians, it was Wesley Clark.
It won’t come to a shooting war, he has nothing to be afraid of.
NATO has already lost. I strongly doubt they will push their luck. All we see now are empty gesticulations.
NATO won’t engage in military actions against Russia, because ALL its European members are against it.
Oh, nooooo - not more sanctions; Putin will weep.
With laughter.
That Obama is one tough dude.
"You Brute...You Brute....You Vicious Brute!"
This is essentially Hitler marching into the Rhineland.
Deep down everyone knew Germany had the right to it, and nobody was going to start a war with Hitler over it.
That’s what the Crimea is...whether or not Russia acted legally, deep down most sense that in reality, it probably really does belong to Russia, and that Crimea is not the hill to die on.
Biden still thinks he can win a Presidential election.
You can just make that kind of stupid up.
*can’t
Can’t make that up..... derrrr....
Russia is already thumbing their noses at us, so what does comrade 0bama do? He sends in the biggest clown we have - Idiot Joe Biden.
That will reassure our allies (if we have any left). /sarc
“Biden still thinks he can win a Presidential election.”
Biden has still have only half a brain.
