  • "We didn´t make any plans in case Putin would take action because.... because if he did, it would have been bad...

    Marx! Doesn´t he understand that 21st Century politics is all about complaining and talking big while effectively doing nothing when faced with serious problems?? None of us would be in politics in the first place if it was otherwise!"

      • U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recognized the rebel government and pledged $1 billion of support

        wtf? I didn't get a say in this. Representative govt. my hind foot

        • Ah, that's why they had to gut our military, to throw money at some other country's.

          Europe is anemic from a purely economic standpoint, the oil & natural gas pipelines through there (that have already been turned off once, the threat is enough now); How's that green energy working out for y'all? Not to mention the missiles and defenses Ø nixed even before he was able to be more flexible.

          As an answer to an Email ? about the cup of tea comment up there, look up Alexander Litvinenko and for S&Gs Anna Politkovskaya. Are you paying attention MSNBC, Qur'an Williams, CNN et al?

          And speaking of CNN, hey Mr. Lemon; as a journo you have to "decide" how much to criticize the President because he's black? Guess what? While he may be genetically almost 50% black, he remains a total fuck-up. I don't do that often (drop an f-bomb), but it was the best I could come up with and it fits, and I still despise his whiter "half".

          So now this clueless community agitator has me not only urinated off like I have been for years, now I'm having flashbacks to the Cold War. Scared isn't the right word, but I'm getting there.

          And if I may, that "country's" in the first line, is that correct? Countries seems plural, 's shows ownership and I ain't looking it up. Still bugs me. Man, I feel better :P

  • Heniz-Kerry is crying about Putin not playing by the rules of the 21st Century. What does he expect. Putin is a communist and a KGB man. Lurch better hope Putin doesn't offer his stupid ass an air plane ride.

      • The world of modern diplomacy is premised on the belief that, saber-rattling and propaganda aside, world leaders are basically rational actors whose behaviors are subject to incentives and credible threats. A lot of what happens next in Ukraine may be riding on whether or not Merkel is correct. Or maybe some nuance was just lost in translation.

        barry's an incredible threat, but at least he's transparent, i can see right through him.

    • Kerry doesn't understand anything that isn't done over a snifter of fine brandy, he's gonna be real surprised when he sees just how dirty Putin can play.

    • Kerry is an old establishment figure who's status is based on something other then merit. Just like his predecessor, Hillary, & her boss, Obama. We are in big time trouble with these people in charge as far as the international stage is concerned.

  • I'm sure the State Department's Division of Sharply-Worded Communiques is at DefCon1, waiting for SOS Marywell to give the go-ahead for a Stern Rebuke.

  • It reminds me of a story I once heard, I think it was on the classic "World at War" TV doc, regarding the German siege of Stalingrad. The Nazis surrounded the city and were starving it to death while simultaneously trying to take it block by block. But they hadn't counted on the obstinateness of the defenders, who threw everything including the kitchen sink at them. The Nazis whined, "These commies fight like gangsters!" Too effin' bad - you invade somebody's country, kill them like dogs, WTF did they expect, the Welcome Wagon?

    You know the rest. The Nazis never did take the city and eventually lost the war. And Kerry is an elitist idiot.

  • Rules? RULES?

    HA!

    In anything worth doing, if you aren't cheating, you're not trying hard enough. Putin understands this. Kerry went to the school of peace, love, and fair play. He's got no business in the world of international diplomacy.

    • Vladimir Putin told a number of his advisers that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is a liar. Specifically, Putin said: “This was very unpleasant and surprising for me. We talk to them (the Americans) and we assume they are decent people, but he is lying and he knows that he is lying. This is sad.”

  • Does the 80s still want it's Cold War back, Mr. President? You short-sited, thin-skinned, mom-jean-wearing wimp!

  • It almost looked like Lurch was going to start sobbing like Boehner when Putin told him to mind his own business. I bet Captain Ketchup tries to blame this one on Globull Warming too.
