John Kerry: Russia has until Monday to reverse course in Ukraine
Washington Examiner ^ | 13 March 2014 | Susan Crabtree

Posted on 03/13/2014 11:59:01 AM PDT by Errant

Secretary of State John Kerry warned of serious repercussions for Russia on Monday if last-ditch talks over the weekend to resolve the crisis in Ukraine failed to persuade Moscow to soften its stance.

Kerry will travel to London for a Friday meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov ahead of a Sunday referendum vote in the Crimea region to secede from Ukraine and join the Russian Federation.

U.S. and European officials argue that Moscow is orchestrating the referendum and waging an intimidation campaign with thousands of Russian troops controlling the region. If Russian-backed lawmakers in Crimea go through with the Sunday referendum, Kerry said the U.S. and its European allies will not recognize it as legitimate under international law.

That'll scare the crap out of Putin. He's such a sissy boy, unlike John Effin Kerry who served in Vietnam.

What do you bet Obama “solves” the crisis. Poll numbers go up yada yada yada. All cooked up by Obama and Putin.

They’ve used up all the red. Maybe a brown line. Or a blue line. Magenta is also nice.

I’ve got it! Mauve! A Mauve line!

The next administration is going to have to do an apology tour of its own. To the world. For insulting its collective intelligence.

This is just embarassing.


I agree, but here is the thing, and it’s kinda scary: We have an absolute leadership vacuum at the table where the US should be sitting. Everybody that matters knows this, e.g. Putin. This means that every despot in the world knows that the clock is ticking. They have until January of 2017 to make their move.

Putin is one, but he is not the only one. And they all have years to perfect their plans against us before their clock runs out.

I do not believe it is a matter of if. I believe it is a matter of “when” and I believe even the “when” will be in the next three years.

Agree completely.

Despots (and terrorists) prey on the perception of weakness. Obama exudes weakness and has deliberately walked away from the leadership table.

Here’s what’s coming:

China taking Taiwan
Iran attacking Israel
N.Korea attacking S.Korea

Like I really care, its their problem, do we want the Russians coming to the aid of America in defense of our First Amendment, to depose a dictator in the WH, to enforce fair and legal elections? lets just say, “Mr. Putin, please come to America with troops, we have an illegally elected President”. Get real, thats OUR problem.

Kerry is an idiotic loyal lapdog with no teeth, no eyesight, no sense of smell, it cannot hunt and it cannot fight.

NO way in hell, let them settle it themselves.
