Just letting you know that Obama's red line for Russia entering the country has been crossed. Russian troops raised a Russian flag and started landing planes at an airport in the country.

It's. Not. Our. Fucking. Country.

True, but once again Obama has painted himself in a corner and will show the world again what an incompetent leader he is.

Their sphere of influence, like Canada to us.

They keep showing clips of soldiers holding Ak's, but I haven't seen one AK with a mag in it yet, kinda weird.

Then Obama should have kept his yap shut about "lines in the sand."

He was quick to pull Quadafi out and support the rebels there in Libya.
It's funny how this Admin. here supports govmt defectors and protests overseas, but if you even say anything negative here you are put on a list, spied on, targeted, etc.

Fixt...

I would like to see Obammy and Putin get into a boxing ring or perhaps have a vodka-drinking contest. Last man standing wins.

Yes, he should have.

Hardly a contest. One is not much of a man.

Washington (AFP) - US President Barack Obama told President Vladimir Putin in a 90-minute phone call Saturday that Russia had violated international law with its incursion into Ukraine and warned of US and allied reprisals.

The White House said Obama called on Putin to pull Russian troops back to their bases in Crimea and warned that continued violation of international law by Moscow would lead to further "political and economic isolation."

The call came as Obama's national security team met to draw up US responses to the escalating crisis, after Russia's parliament gave Putin the formal go ahead to send forces to Ukraine and officials in Kiev said 6,000 forces had already been sent to Crimea.

"President Obama expressed his deep concern over Russia's clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity," the White House said in a detailed statement about the call.

Obama told Putin that his actions were a "breach of international law, including Russia's obligations under the UN Charter, and of its 1997 military basing agreement with Ukraine."

"The United States calls on Russia to de-escalate tensions by withdrawing its forces back to bases in Crimea and to refrain from any interference elsewhere in Ukraine," the statement said.

Obama also warned Putin that the people of Ukraine had the right to determine their own future.

"Russia's continued violation of international law will lead to greater political and economic isolation," the statement added.

Obama informed Putin, with whom he has had tense public interactions, that he would order US diplomats to stop preparatory meetings for the G8 summit in Sochi, Russia in June.

On Friday, US officials said Obama and other European leaders were unlikely to show up at the summit in the showcase Black Sea report if the Ukraine crisis was not resolved.

Obama did use the call to recognize that there were deep cultural ties between Ukraine and Russia and that there was a need to protect ethnic Russians in the former Soviet republic.

But he argued that the proper way to do that was through a dialogue with the government in Kiev and with international observers on the ground appointed by the United Nations Security Council and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

Obama also vowed to keep up consultations with the interim government appointed in Ukraine after the ouster pro-Russian president Viktor Yanucovych and bodies like the International Monetary Fund to support Kiev and to mitigate its deepening economic crisis.

Exactly how "isolated" is Russia right now politically?

[Trip McNeely]

Putin probably told him to go fuck himself. Tucktail isn't gonna do shit, except keep moving that penciled "red line" further and further out.
