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.”

When America was a majority Christian nation, it was Good. That time is well past. Incredibly so. America today does not even come close to a majority Christian.
And this is what we get.
There are still good people. Good families. Good military folks. Good institutions. But they are dying every day. Evil is on the march, and the wicked are winning....for now. I believe the Rapture is very close.
Did PeeWee Herman just threaten to kick Hulk Hogan’s a$$?
Please, obama, you arrogant ass. Pick a personal fight with that (highly skilled) monster Putin.
???? GMAFB!!!!
Secretly funneled billions?! He just sent $11.9 billion to the Iranian mullahs in the open! Lord knows what he has sent behind the scenes.
Pretty sure his Saudi masters are annoyed, hence his hurry to genuflect to the new Saudi King...

He (Obama) also warned Putin was “hell-bent on engaging in military conflicts”
And without the slightest sense of irony.
As horrific as the whole geopolitical situation is, this is kind of funny. Bathhouse Barry threatening a real man. Maybe Pres. Putin will put polonium in Barry's amyl nitrite.
You think so?
To me, he almost seems to be so lazy, he’s basically useless, outside of his position to give orders(that other people instruct him to give).
The guy is a featherweight, IMO. The only thing that gets him excited is his ego. When someone dares to challenge his self perceived greatness, THEN he will get pissed off and look for scalps...
To the death...
Obama is powerless cause there are no Islamic terrorist organizations within the Ukraine he can arm and fund. Although he has tried using Ukranian Nazi’s, but you know they tend to be white guys and all. He is just not that in to them.
Before the usual crew of idiots gets started accusing everyone of being closet KGB agents, I’ll say this. Putin is probably the one guy on earth in a position of power that can and will tell Berry to STFU and then back it up. Only Nixon could go to China.
“Well now the liar is seriously involved, what is really going on?”
He wants war with Russia. That way, he can run for president again as Franklin Roosevelt did in 1942 with the excuse that wartime is no time to change presidents.
trau.... Did our fearless leader draw a pink line in the sand??
Well, now, if Putin ain’t careful, Barry is gonna start drawing red lines in the sand. He still has his pen and phone.
LOL
Hey Putin offended two of the most important people on earth. Gays and Muslims. It stands to reason Barry will be launching on him shortly.
It also takes care of that pesky population problem.
