The US President vowed to “ratchet up pressure on Russia” amid fears the fighting in eastern Europe is worsening by the day.
Barack Obama today threatened to use all measures - short of military action - to force Vladimir Putin to back down over the Ukraine crisis.
He vowed to “ratchet up pressure on Russia” amid fears the fighting in eastern Europe is worsening by the day.
He also warned Putin was “hell-bent on engaging in military conflicts” regardless of the damage it caused to Russians with its sanctions-hit economy nosediving into recession.
The US leader spoke out in India after the West blamed pro-Moscow rebels for the deaths of 30 civilians and injuries to 95 in weekend bloodshed in strategic port city Mariupol.
Russia and separatist forces claim that the Ukrainian army was responsible for the attack on civilians.
Kiev strongly denied this and alleged intercepted communications proved the weekend bloodshed was the work of “terrorists who receive support in Russia”.
Both the US and EU issued strong warnings to Putin, calling on him to curb the rebels.
“I will look at all additional options that are available to us, short of military confrontation, and try to address this issue,” said Obama.
“We are deeply concerned about the latest break in the ceasefire and the aggression that these separatists - with Russian backing, Russian equipment, Russian financing, Russian training and Russian troops - are conducting.”

Bammy’s going send some errant drives Putin’s way?
No but when it blows up in his face, he’ll ask
for a mulligan, which is Russian for reach around.
I thought Bammy got his Hash tags direct from Afghanistan.
Bro!
What is Obumbles going to do...hit him with his purse? Putin knows a weakling when he sees one, and Obama will be the president who lost tthe Ukraine.
About the only credible threat Obama could make would be to personally head to Moscow and try to homosex it up with him.
0bungler is issuing threats to everyone these days.
“I think Obama was a Saudi agent. I think many people know this. I think he purposely enabled the Muslim radicals to take over the Middle East...”

What really scares me is two things: (a) We do not know, and may never know, what REAL damage he has/will do to America, (b) the people that voted him into office a SECOND time are still in the electorate. God help us.
Why the sudden posturing?!? Uh oh....
Now, Bathhouse Barry...
America needs you Ronald Wilson Reagan.
He’s probably got another CD full of his speeches that he can send to Putie, doncha think?
More like Pee-Wee threatening Bluto.
Careful there Vladimir ... while you may represent the cream the crop among your generation. Keep in mind that there wasn’t a standard of excellence that wasn’t lowered to accommodate our guy. Your opponent is a money printing dumbbell with nukes.
Gotta love those GIFs. RIGHT ON!!! Nice Job!!
