a 90-minute conversation Saturday, U.S. President Barack Obama expressed to Russian President Vladimir Putin "his deep concern over Russia's clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is a breach of international law, including Russia's obligations under the U.N. Charter, and of its 1997 military basing agreement with Ukraine," according to a statement released by the White House.

"...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."

According to an account of the conversation released by the Kremlin, Putin stressed "the presence of real dangers to the lives and health of Russians who are currently present in the Ukrainian territory."

I have no idea where the picture was taken, other than Obama is just photoshopped in. That pony seems pretty pitiful, but I’m ignorant about horses.

Putin says he wants to defend the lives of people of Russian ancestry who live outside Russia’s borders.

Does anyone think owebama would do that for Americans?

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

Close.

Obama: "You suck."
Putin: "Metaphorically speaking, I understand your childish distress. You, on the other hand don't suck in a purely metaphorical sense, do you?
[pause]
Obama: "You suck."

Putin: (grinning) "Limber up Fruit Loops. I'm going to test your flexibility to the limit."
Obama: You suck."
