Harper tells Putin to ‘get out of Ukraine’ at G20 in Australia
680 News ^ | November 15 2014 | Lee-Anne Goodman

Stephen Harper had a showdown with Vladimir Putin on Saturday, telling the Russian leader to “get out of Ukraine” in a dust-up at the Group of 20 summit in Australia.

Harper’s spokesman, Jason MacDonald, said the prime minister was speaking to a group of G20 leaders at a private leaders’ retreat on Saturday morning when Putin approached and extended his hand.

MacDonald said Harper told Putin: “I guess I’ll shake your hand but I have only one thing to say to you: You need to get out of Ukraine.”

According to MacDonald, Putin did not respond positively. He didn’t provide further details.

But a spokesman for the Russian delegation said Putin’s response was: “That’s impossible because we are not there.”

Putin should not be included in these meetings. He is an evil dictator bully.

So is the EU.

Which is worse? A country that thinks they are free, or a country that knows they aren’t?

I wonder what is Australia’s business there? Why won’t Harper slap ChiComs for their expansionism? ChiCken?

Now that’s what I call a leader.Unlike the dirtbag who presently represents the United States of America.

I could use stronger language because I loath that bastard for destroying my country.

Old Cold War: Ronald Reagan: ‘’Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!’’

New Cold War: Stephen Harper: ‘’Mr. Putin, get out of Ukraine!’’

Why, oh, why can’t we have presidents like this anymore?

Maybe we can. Ted Cruz: ‘’Mr. Obama, don’t declare Amnesty by executive order!’’

25 Australians on the shot down MH17 might be their “business”.

Yep, true, but Harper is a PM of Canada. Why won’t he start on Chinese?
The reason is probably that half of Ukraine has moved to Canada over last 20 years.

He shouldn’t be allowed at these meetings either. Only Bibi, Canada’s Harper and Australia are holding the line in this 21st century nightmare.

One of my major accomplishments in life: helping Harper win for the Conservative Party in Canada in 06’ before immigrating to America. Good to know this country leader has balls to do what’s right instead of this clown from kenya who is a complete moron.

When is the United States government going to release it’s ‘evidence’ of Russia’s involvement? I’m not talking about the Ukie b.s. ginned up on social media either.

Any chance that Harper might also emigrate? I mean,if Obola can be President there's no reason why Harper can't.

Yup LOL. Unfair really. Before Harper, I lived under 2 previously anti-American PM’s (especially during the Iraq War) and when I did leave, Harper is more American than the any Canuck PM.
