Secretary of State John Kerry Sunday challenged the notion that President Vladimir Putin went ahead and seized control of Ukraines Crimea on the assumption that President Obama would do nothing in response. Russia was not operating from a position of strength, he declared.
Appearing on three Sunday talk shows, Kerry said Russias actions were reminiscent of 19th century behavior, and warned that possible consequences could include G8 isolation of Russia, visa bans and sanctions.
He acknowledged that Putin may be able to have his troops for some period of time in Crimea, but said that Russia would ultimately lose.

Remember Hillarys Russian Reset Button?
Hillary and the rest of her genius foreign policy experts wanted a reset, but they obviously never really gave much though on when Putin and the Russians would reset to - like say, Prague in the Spring of 1968 and back in the USSR
Makes one wonder if this was part of the deal over Syria, or something related.
Doesn't he know I served in Vietnam?
JF’nK is looking to get shot in the butt again?
Fox News is way too "fair and balanced"--but at they are the only source for providing the "other side"--and for that I am most grateful to them--especially Bret Baier, Megan Kelley, Greta van Susteren, Jennifer Griffin and Catherine Herridge!( Sp?!!)
“For another perspective, we interviewed Vladimir Putin in Moscow, who was translated as saying: ‘I Seized Crimea Because I Knew Ms. Obama Would Not Respond’.”
Now the shoe is on the other foot...and Putin knows what he knows....
...but strangely, we could find no record that you ever attended Harvard...
Miss John Kerry just needs to ask herself one question....
If Ronald Reagan were president... would Putin be doing this?
Hey Kerry- You’re the one who called US troops in VietNam like ghenghis Khan...well now you are dealing with a real Ghenhis Khan in Vlad Putin and you don’t know what to do you bumble brained liight weight.

Right.
Putin seized Crimea because he was AFRAID Obama might take it first. (Sarcasm)
Not only does this goon look like Frankenstein’s Monster - he THINKS like it.
This really reads like satire. Putin doesn’t consider Obama weak? C’mon!
There is NO WAY Putin is afraid of odumbo and is playing him like a fiddle. Odumbo is a perfect target for making someone look like a bozo.
Which one is stronger, the iron fist or the limp wrist?
Lurch and Lamar Latrell ( revenge of the Nerds) are very intimidating
More like the one from the movies rather than the book.
O.K. Mr Kerry, then is it that Putin sent his troops into Crimea because he thought Obama WOULD respond forcefully???
as usual, Kerry makes no sense and has no sense
