Kerry condemns Russia's 'incredible act of aggression' in Ukraine

So far the west's response has been lots of finger wagging and little action.
 
I noticed that Kerry hit all the morning news programs except Fox. After the powder puff interviews of Obama and Jarrett by O'Reilly I would think he would have felt confident enough to appear with Chris Wallace.

Wait a minute now....Dick Durbin has called Putin a bully. Obama took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and spent 90 minutes on the phone with Putin begging him to withdraw. Rumor has it that the State Department is drafting a stern letter of warning as we speak.
 
The part that I find hilarious is the U.S telling Russia not to invade other countries on trumped up pre-text.

Yeah.... we're kinda being a bit hypocritical aren't we. What I don't understand is why this issue is getting so blown out of proportion and why the U.S. politics is so up in arms. This is none of our ****ing business so why aren't we just having our ambassador to Russia issue a few statements of condemnation, have Obama issue another one at one of the many press covered functions and move on already. There is zero appetite for us to get involved in more foreign wars, or even THINK about it. Anyone on the GOP side saying we need to use our military here needs to be strung up by their short and curlies and used as a pinata.

The United States considers itself the police of the world, obviously. We're the perfect example of freedom and justice, and our opinions on world issues need to be listened to. :lamo
 
'incredible act of aggression' would be if Russian troops goes beyond Crimea. So far, I do not see any incredible act of aggression.
Consider the fact that Crimea has its own government and they asked themselves for Russian troops to protect them.
 
Kerry is a joke and symbol of cowardice and incompetency.

Correct.

The government of Crimea invited the Russians.

I am just going to guess that Russia will spend a lot less money in the Ukraine and there will be a lot fewer people killed there than in the USA's misadventure in Iraq.

I will also predict that Russia will accomplish a lot more in the Ukraine than the USA has in Iraq.

Does anyone want to argue any of these points?

It'd be pretty hard to accomplish less than we did in the middle east.

True.

We did help Iran by putting a Shia-controlled government in charge in Iraq

The USA did 'accomplish' :3oops: that.




I doubt that Russia will ever put a government friendly to the Ukraine in charge in Crimea.

That's not going to happen.

That'd be why I said "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
 
Of course. And that's all we will/can do.

Well should be interesting to see if the US Navy goes ahead with its pre planned naval drills in the black see this month.

I'm also wondering why the right-wingers think we should attack Russia.

I don't see why not. They won't be misconstrued where drills are commonplace. Certainly, no one will misinterpret them as aggression.

LOL! Yep, and I wonder if Kerry used the same speech he made before congress after returning from Vietnam--- "...cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan..."

Why in the heck did Obama pick this guy?

"You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pre-text," Kerry told the CBS program


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Does any one know if we ever found any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Or, that Saddam was helping Al-Qaeda? I mean, maybe my memory is getting faulty here, but didn't we invade them on some pretext, which as you say, Kerry voted for himself. I seem to recall that the Bush campaign still painted him out as weak on defense during the 2004 campaign.

What interesting times we live in. Let's hope cooler heads prevail on both sides, without those that go to sleep each night dreaming for a nuclear exchange prevailing.

The implication being that those pretexts were trumped up? Sheesh, when are you liberals going to stop blaming bush for trillions in wasted war funds and thousands of dead American soldiers. :roll:
 
To assist the legitimate government of a country in preventing one branch of the government from performing a coup d'etat, is legitimate, unlike most of our 21st century aggressions.

Who is rougher, Chris or Vlad?

You're predicting that Russia will succeed in making Ukraine a subject nation, is that it?
