President Obama and other world leaders said Sunday there would be no lifting on the economic sanctions against Russia until it reaches a formal peace agreement with the Ukraine. Obama said they were "standing up to Russian aggression."
The leaders were meeting in the small German town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen for the annual conference of the "Group of Seven" leading democratic industrial powers, also known as the G-7. World leaders from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and Canada, were present. It was the second year in a row Russia was barred from attending.
In a joint press conference with U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, President Obama said it was important to maintain "the sanctions regime to put pressure on Russian and separatist forces. ... We think that there can be a peaceful, diplomatic resolution to this problem, but it's going to require that Europe, the United States and the Transatlantic Partnership, as well as the world, stay vigilant."

Obama tells lies.
People know that he tells lies.
Obama knows that people know that he tells lies.
He doesn’t care.
Which is really terrifying.

Really? Perhaps he should ask Merkel with which country despite sanctions did Germany had the steepest increase in trade during the past two years. Hint: It wasn’t France
To: Nachum
uh oh, this is not good at all. If he says this, it means he is selling the barn

Yep, they’re going to run out of red paint at the G-7, from all the red lines they’re drawing in the sand.
