In an interview today with KNSD, President Obama ruled out any “military excursion” into the Ukraine or any attack on Russia over the nation’s annexation of Crimea, saying it “would not be appropriate.”
Obama went on to say “we do not need to trigger an actual war with Russia,” and that a war would “not be good for Ukraine either.” Rather, he said the focus was on building an international coalition to “send a clear message” to Russia.
Obama also promised “disruptive economic actions” against Russia, saying he believes the annexation of Crimea is a sign of President Putin’s “weakness” and desperation to stop neighbors getting closer to the West.
Russia has been harshly critical of the US and other NATO nations for backing the violent protests that led to regime change in Ukraine, and insists that it is protecting the ethnic Russian majority in Crimea by allowing them to hold a weekend referendum which backed accession into the Russian Federation.
No really.., you don't say! AIPAC, John Bolton, Bill Kristol or McCain and others alike think that USG needs to start the war with Russia, sanction all of Russia where the idea is welcomed and actually encouraged by Russian parliament.
Although Obama have said that he is not a war president, but that doesn't mean that hooligans, Neo, old and ok'd fascism can not be supported by USG or EU governing body in Brussels, or by the German Christian democrats Angela Markell or the Swedish Neo liberal fascism and their English partners in destructions.
"My gun is just as big as yours." Enough said.
NO–Here's the "REAL" message O'BUMMER–STFU, RESTRAIN ALL YOUR WAR DOGS & KEEP AMERIKA'S WARMONGERING NOSE OUT OF THE UKRAINE..DUH
The Russian people don't have to worry about being (liberated) by the US
as were Grenada, Panama, Yugoslavia, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
"…“would not be appropriate.”…" Understatement of the century. Obama finally got something right.
A very wise and equally (smart) move by President Obama.
The Russian people (don't) have to worry about the USA
(liberating) them (like) it did the (people) of Grenada,
Panama, Somalia, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya.
Unsurprising. Watch the Baltic republics though. Obama has to keep Putin out of there. NATO is already discredited in Europe, probably fatally, but if Putin is allowed to invade three NATO members and the US doesn't use military force to derive him out, NATO can just shut up shop. The collpase of NATO would be a disaster for Israel, so the neocons have little choice but to try to provoke Putin into invading the Baltics and pushing the US into war to drive him out. Essentially, Nuland has shot herself in both feet and shot Israel in the back all in one enormous blunder!
Obama threatens Putin, Putin says, "Challenge accepted" and Obama backs down. This is probably the one smart move Obama has made while he's been in office.
Obama's response was very wise (for once, at least). The neocons making their usual static noise would get us into WW-III. Of course the beauty of WW-III is, once it gets going for real, it's over in an hour or two.
No sh t. This is what Obama gets four hundred grand a year for?
The warmonger shills are already shifting the theater of operations to the Baltic states. The Russian populations in those states will suddenly find themselves under attack, in the hopes that the Russians will be forced to tangle with NATO members. Attempts to do this with non-NATO states (Georgia and Ukraine) have failed, so Obama will play coward for the moment until the FedGov military can prepare the next battlefield. This garbage is predictable.
