Neither President Obama nor any other world leader can sway the mind of Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
“Putin is going to do what Putin is going to do,” she said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
Obama’s foreign policy strategy has been attacked in recent weeks, with some accusing him of doing too little to stymie Russian intervention in Ukraine, where ongoing violence this month included the deaths of hundreds aboard a passenger jetliner. The U.S. has said Russia is at least indirectly responsible for that attack.
“As far as Putin is concerned, he’s a KGB guy who happens to be the president of Russia and he’s going to do what he’s going to do, no matter who else is in charge any place else in the word,” Pelosi said. “I would not judge his actions or his motivations by anything other than he is rooted in a KGB [mindset], insecure about Russia’s diminished role in the world.” The U.S. has launched a set of sanctions against Russia and tried to rally countries around the world to follow suit, but Moscow has not backed off its support of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine's east.
Speaking on the same CNN show, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said those sanctions “clearly are not working” and accused Obama of being “AWOL.”
Ongoing violence in Gaza and the rise of the al Qaeda-linked Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which has gained ground amid a power vacuum in those countries, only makes clear the costs of a weakened U.S., he added.
“Passive responses to naked aggression all over the world is our foreign policy,” Graham said. “Without American leadership, the world has become a very dangerous place and our allies like Israel and Ukraine suffer.”
The puppet can never control the puppet master.
Absolutely correct.
It comes from the fact that these people literally don’t know what they’re talking about. Every day there are new wishful fantasies about how much of the world their studly hero Putin is about to conquer. The truth is that Putin’s Russia is a dying nation on the verge of collapse, overrun with muslims and Chinese immigrants. After losing nearly the whole of Ukraine, Putin can barely hold on to the two cities in Ukraine he still controls.
Suddenly Russia is being portrayed as the worlds greatest military power, stronger than America and Britain, and France and Germany, and the dozens of other NATO allies combined, and eager to go nuclear if anyone dares challenge them, it is bizarre.
If these idiots get what they want, they'll be able to watch our war with Russia from their front yard.
I suspect the experience will be a little different from watching it on TV.
Obama can’t control himself. He’s a Constitution/Bill of Rights hating retard.
So Russia is invading Ukraine and will start WWIII for it which will result in their total defeat.
So they are totally suicidal and insane now?
So much so that the wall fell.
This is just an excuse to do nothing.
A broken clock.
I wonder - sounds to me the new talking points are "Putin=KGB PUTIN KGB PUTIN KGB" mantra, which is all the gullible will hear deflecting from what is really at foot.
Most people still think he was the head of KGB - which he never was.
He grew up in Communist Russia (his mother had to have him baptized in secret and raised a Christian in secret and he became a member of the party (as was his father) - else he would have been but street sweeper or equivalent. By working his way up to a positions of power and finally the top - he was able to then, first, defend the church - and see the churches, Cathedrals rebuilt across Russia - and is the only world leader to call for other world leaders to stop the slaughtering of Christians across the ME, He's the top world leader to say no the AGENDA of the gays, which is far beyond just wanting their 'freedom', stopping Agenda 21 etc - (from OUR leader - crickets) (live link following post)
the EU and NATO, with help from the UN is intent on putting the Ukraine/Crimea under them - and any other countries on the Russian borders, and not for friendly reasons. The Russian people in those countries do not want to moved over to the EU nor NATO.
WE started the conflict in the Ukraine. Do some research, folks.
Our boy king backs the talies, the muzzi b'hood, etc - ergo, the wrong side - on every turn. What makes you confident he isn't in this incidence. And what is the justification of starting the conflict in the Ukraine/Crimea? Are you not aware of the UN/EU/NATO push to install Agenda 21 across the world. (Better research that - Agenda 21, in all probability, already has a toehold in YOUR community - under another name, of course, like: "Sustainable Community" or "Community Development."
Agenda 21 is Communism on steroids - a UN agenda being carried out by countries like U.S.. Better GOGGLE "Agenda 21 Rio
I don't expect any of you to do so, however. Easier to just cluck cluck at what the media shovels out - and swallow the mantras -

You say:”Strike me dead. Nancy Pelosi opens her mouth and something comes out that actually makes a modicum of sense?”
I addressed your post in my separate post above. If you’re interested in WHY it’s important to ms peelface for the Ukraine be turned over to the UN/EU/NATO push into the ONE WORLD GOV’T/AGENDA 21 - you might be interested in her SPONSORING a bill for the U.S. to adopt - which they did - the AGENDA 21 One WORLD bill.
(In the the 2012 election, Newt Gingrich was the ONLY candidate who even mentioned AGENDA 21, let alone know what it actually is. Did any of you pay attention? - He also said that, if elected, the very first thing he would do on the first day in office would be to sign the US OUT of Agenda 21.

And then - or first, review some clips that EXPLAIN AGENDA 21 - (It’s puzzling to me that any conservatives are yet ignorant of this insidious ‘agenda’ to install One World Gov’t.) There are many videos on AGENDA 21. It’s imperative that we educate ourselves on this - starting with a the videos on the Rio 1992 Summit...and realize that many Republicans buy into this also - including papa Bush. [Beware the Harvard/Yale grads] Anyone wonder how the EPA/BLM etc got so much power - why they are taking over control of our land? Why China is building a ‘Sustainable Community is IDAHO? EDUCATE yourselves. It’s a crazy world right now - on the brink of a major paradigm shift - and one from which we many never recover. And their primary weapon? People who are too busy to educate themselves. People who know next to nothing about AGENDA 21 but can name the winners of “Dancing Withe the Stars” and “America’s Got Talent.”
a young ‘nancy’ on the floor - urging the passing of the bill she sponsored for AGENDA 21.
Agenda 21 code words: “Sustainable Development” Sustainable Community” “Smart Growth” “ICLEI” (Don’t bet it isn’t in YOUR city/town. In all likelihood, it is.)

Idaho - what is Project 60”? (50 square miles = 32,000 acres. Keep this in mind.
excerpt: “Specifically, “The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service administers an immigrant investor visa program called EB-5. The program grants foreigners permanent U.S. residency in exchange for helping create U.S. jobs.” This prong will facilitate the immigration of Chinese nationals into the United States for the purpose of establishing a Chinese industrial beachhead in Idaho, under the guise of creating U.S. jobs.”

FREEPERS - we need to do independent research - not just regurgitate news stories and then natter on about them.
FR is a much more important conduit than that.
the Pres_ent of the U.S - laughing stock -
For they surely are.
sorry - I didn’t get the link in of nanny introducing her bill on Agenda 21

There are more muslims in Russia than there are in the whole EU put together.
Ukraine is not a US ally.
NATO could barely handle Libya, it is a paper tiger rife with internal dissension.
Tell that to Kadaffy. Oops, you can’t, cause he’s dead.
an Putin is at war with them
