UN ambassador Nikki Haley condemns Russian aggression in Ukraine
ny post ^ | 2/2/2017 | Daniel Halper

The new US ambassador to the United Nations used her inaugural statement to the international body to condemn Russian aggression in Ukraine.

“I consider it unfortunate that the occasion of my first appearance is one in which I must condemn the aggressive actions of Russia,” Haley said.

“It is unfortunate because it is a replay of too many instances over many years in which United States representatives have had to do that.”

She singled out Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.

The remarks may help silence critics of President Trump who have feared he’s too in sync with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“This escalation of violence must stop,” Haley warned.

“The United States stands with the people of Ukraine who have suffered for nearly three years under Russian occupation and military intervention,” she added.

Doesn't look like Trump is going to be much of Putin's buddy.

Russian heads exploding in 3....2....

The enemy closer to home is a greater threat - the rabid Muslim loving Left and a corrupt black robbed tyrant judiciary.

This can’t be. Just last night Mark Levin was wringing his hands about the Trump administration being too cozy with the Russians. Perhaps on Monday’s show, Levin can take credit for compelling Haley to make these statements.

Surely the people of UKraine are grateful for the government we chose for them and for being placed in the middle of another fomented Orange Revolution aka “ civil war” as Soros- McCain’s proxies against Russia

Maybe if McCain didn’t go over there an encourage a coup there would still be peace in Ukraine. So much for not interfering in elections.

Right, because the Russian government is so trustworthy. Remember the Malaysian airlines flight?

Funny—for all the railing against Fake News we see here, how many rush to embrace it.

I hosted a Ukrainian model and her BF for a week about a month ago, and we talked extensively about this... and yes indeed, Kiev does (according to them) shell it's own people now and then in order to get aid (money and weapons) from the US. The current president of Ukraine is a horrible wicked guy.

Because John MCCain who has been fronting US policy in Ukraine is so trustworthy ... Now inserting US troops into UKraine with what congressional debate and apprival?

What army is shelling it’s own citizens and with whose military weapons and political backing?

The government of Ukraine collaborated with the Clinton campaign attempting to dig up dirt against Trump. They fabricated evidence against Paul Manifort, and funneled millions of dollars into Clinton’s coffers.

Your ongoing support for this corrupt regime is noted.

Noted by whom? Your buddies at the KGB?

Russia paid 150million and made a deal with the Clinton campaign for our uranium. Podesta was a major partner with that deal.

Shall I note your support of Clinton, her presidency and podesta?

Silly Russians.

A war hero is much more trustworthy than Putin, you and your Russian friends.

Oh, dear--you've been noted.
And the rest of us are to believe that the most inept U.S Administration in recent memory, along with a washed-up Republican Senator, masterminded a plot that got 100s of thousands of Ukrainians on the street. And afterwards, apparently to allay the suspicions of our more "discerning" FReepers, didn't send any lethal aid when their country was invaded.

Obama didn't give any weapons to Ukraine and he gave very little of anything else. No offense, but your Ukrainian model friend sounds brainwashed.

Levin can take credit for compelling Haley to make these statements.

Why not? The Whiner of the Right has taken credit for everything Trump has done the past two weeks, from the Judge Gorsuch nomination to the urination that the President took at 3AM this morning.

Rush used to refer to him as "F. Lee Levin". After all of his caterwauling, I've eliminated the ". " from the name above.

Russia paid 150million and made a deal with the Clinton campaign for our uranium.

There was no Clinton campaign to make a deal with in 2010 when the nine agency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) made their decision to let the Uranium One deal go forward. It was a collective decision made by the Obama administration, not one party.

OTOH the government of Ukraine was directly involved in fabricating evidence against the Trump campaign in 2016, just months before the general election. There is also strong evidence they were a source for the widely discredited Trump dossier.

Why would anyone express support for such a regime unless they held an anti-Trump mindset?
