President Barack Obama and European allies had warned such a move would bring tougher sanctions and diplomatic isolation, but there was little immediate response Tuesday to Putin's bold pronouncement in the Russian parliament.

The White House announced that Obama invited leaders of the G7 industrial powers to meet next week on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit in the Netherlands to discuss the Ukraine crisis.

Many suits. Much talk. Cameras. Photo-ops. Nothing.

Worse than that:
Obozo is closing ALL the Russian Tea Rooms in Brighton Beach. If that doesn’t bring Putin to his knees (obozo’s favorite position), he’ll extend it to the entire US.

And if THAT doesn’t do the job, he’s planned to dump every bottle of Stoli into the Potomac.

Take that, Vlad.

Be careful, Putin could claim Brighton Beach because of the majority of Russian speakers there.

“If you children don’t behave I’ll have to send daddy up there” “Do you want me to send daddy up there?” God what a collection of faculty lounge losers.

And just think that the place was proposed as the (American) Space Station Freedom in the 80s and supported by Ronald Reagan.

Now it might as well be annexed to Russia too.

Moscow TV wants to hire Obama as a late night comic to get even more laughs at his “sanctions.”

Reminds me of the gathering just before Czechoslovakia was swallowed in 1938.
