Putin’s game plan is secession votes in Southern and Eastern Ukraine. And he’ll let the Bandera Nazis can keep Kiev and Western Ukraine.

Russia is less likely to pull out of Crimea than the U.S is to pull out of Nebraska.

LOL! But that’s probably exactly what happened. Obama is a pathological liar.

I’m amazed that ABC and the Washington Post are even reporting this. It directly contradicts the White House propaganda.

I tend to believe the (how said that I can say this) Kremlin statement over the White House. Putin made a courtesy call to Obama telling him that if there is an incident of some sort in Kiev he will move in. His second call was probably to the planners of said incident, giving them a green light.

Obama is probably on the phone now with Valerie Jarrett asking what to do.

If Putin called Obama it wasn’t to negotiate. He’s going to offer a deal Barry cannot refuse.

That makes sense. Keep the good, toss out the bad. Let Europe deal with the “problem child”.

Putin yells in english; Now Hear This!! Obama winces, covers his ears, gives the phone to Susan Rice-again, then goes to his office to watch Beyonce singing Happy Birthday Mr. President on his tapped I-Phone.

"and the two leaders agreed that diplomats for both countries should meet soon to discuss it, the White House said."

And that reminds me of the top diplomats meeting face to face to resolve their issues in DC on Dec 7, 1941.

I believe the gist of it is....Obama sent Putin a list of demands.

He wants Putin to sign off in writing.

I think Putin just wants to keep this piece of history out in the open.

Last word...Merkel not happy about sanctions. They may not hurt the US but they will hurt the Germany and the EU in general.

Putin’s end game all along.

That resolution equates to Putin keeps Crimea.

If Merkel was “on board” with sanctions Obama would be touting it. There would be another speech dedicated to it. The fact that we’re hearing little about it speaks volumes. Besides, Merkel knows that Obama’s word means nothing.

Obama is probably upset with Putin because of the lack of diversity in the Russian forces. Where are all the LGBT troops? He is demanding answers. lol
