This is BS. Obama does not have the attention span to conduct a 90 minute call with Putin.

What did Obama say? Did he threaten to send over some more gay athletes to Sochi, waving rainbow flags, to intimidate Putin?

Russia will intervene if the threat of violence spreads to its borders.

But that is up to Kiev - to rein in anti-Russian extremists in its regime. And Russia will be watching carefully to see what happens next before pursuing further measures.

For now, diplomats will have to resolve the situation.

Yup. And Putin no doubt was put in his place.

.President Obama made clear that Russia’s continued violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity would negatively impact Russia’s standing in the international community.” ....And if that isn’t enough, I’ll stamp my foot so hard, you’ll feel sorry for me. You big bully!

Obama is truly terrifying! Who wouldn’t be scared... unless you can just disconnect the phone line.

Continued violation of Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty, Obama told Putin, “would negatively impact Russia’s standing in the international community,”

What could possibly impact a country’s standing in the world worse than that? Answer: Having a Kenyan Marxist as president

Obama-the-Undocumented Clown-Failure threatens others
about “their standing”.

What a joke. The ONLY thing Tyrant-Liar Obama excels
at is TREASON and helping Islam at the expense
of Americans.

Obama is pretending to say something relevant, Putin is pretending to listen

Firstly, I’m sure that’s a flat out lie.
He is absent as usual having others deal with it, he has talked with no one, that’s just the talking point.
Second, Putin would never talk to him. He’s a real man and would take great glee in dismissing obama, having some lower level deputy communicate with the US.
Putin and the rest of the world know Obama will do absolutely nothing.

The lives of Russian citizens and Russian speaking Ukrainians are in danger in a state with no clear lines of authority and no legitimate government.

In any case elections there are a few months away. All Russia is doing is making sure it can respond promptly if the need should arise.

There is time to resolve the situation peacefully and every one now needs to talk. We should hope it succeeds.

I suspect there were about 60 minutes of Putin rolling his eyes and doodling while Hussein blathered on and one like he does at a press conference (including lots of “uh”s “umm”s and “I”s)
