Putin Tells Obama ‘No’ In Tense Hour-Long Phonecall

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


US president Barack Obama finds the political waters increasingly more difficult to swim in as Russian leader Vladimir Putin continues to eat his lunch. And I mean every, last bite of it. If you are the type of American that swells with patriotic fervor every time our National Anthem is played, these are not good days for you.

MOSCOW/SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine (Reuters) – President Vladimir Putin rebuffed a warning from U.S. President Barack Obama over Moscow’s military intervention in Crimea, saying on Friday that Russia could not ignore calls for help from Russian speakers in Ukraine.

“NYET”

After an hour-long telephone call, Putin said in a statement that Moscow and Washington were still far apart on the situation in the former Soviet republic, where he said the new authorities had taken “absolutely illegitimate decisions on the eastern, southeastern and Crimea regions.

“Russia cannot ignore calls for help and it acts accordingly, in full compliance with international law,” Putin said. Ukraine’s border guards said Moscow had poured troops into the southern peninsula where Russian forces have seized control.

Serhiy Astakhov, an aide to the border guards’ commander, said there were now 30,000 Russian soldiers in Crimea, compared to 11,000 permanently based with the Russian Black Sea fleet in the port of Sevastopol before the crisis.

Putin denies that the forces with no national insignia that are surrounding Ukrainian troops in their bases are under Moscow’s command, although their vehicles have Russian military plates. The West has ridiculed this claim.

The most serious east-west confrontation since the end of the Cold War – resulting from the overthrow last month of President Viktor Yanukovich after violent protests in Kiev – escalated on Thursday when Crimea’s parliament, dominated by ethnic Russians, voted to join Russia. The region’s government set a referendum for March 16 – in just nine days’ time.

European Union leaders and Obama denounced the referendum as illegitimate, saying it would violate Ukraine’s constitution. source – Yahoo News

      Obama shows his R-E-S-P-E-C-T for “women of soul”

      WASHINGTON (AP) — He bobbled the spelling, but President Barack Obama had nothing but R-E-S-P-E-C-T for the “women of soul” who shook and rattled the rafters of the White House on Thursday night.

      “What a lineup!” Obama declared at the outset of a concert that featured a generations-spanning array of soul singers that stretched from musical legends Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle to 20-year-old Ariana Grande.

      Obama paid tribute to Franklin for turning her signature song “Respect” into “a rallying cry for African-Americans, women and then everyone who felt marginalized.”

      The pumped-up audience gave a hearty laugh but was more than willing to forgive the president for spelling it “R-S-P-E-C-T.”

      First up in the East Room lineup was LaBelle, with a thundering delivery of “Over the Rainbow” that had the audience on its feet.

      If Puerto Rico a territory of the US with a military base Fort Buchanan decided we are all going communist do you not think that we would be in there with military troops in a heart beat to defend our military base?

      Did you really expect Putin to kiss up and take orders from Obama! I don’t think so! :idea:

      • mfritz0

        I don’t imagine Obama expected Putin to listen to him, he did at least say something to Putin. Which is all he really intended to do I believe. That way nobody can say he didn’t care. Frankly though, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this isn’t all just an act of world politics designed to lead us into a scripted nuclear war so the Elite bankers can sell more bombs. And the dictator can declare martial law.

      Now Obama will have to tell his masters, the Jewish 1%ers, rothschilds! other new world order criminals that the mean old Putin won’t play ball! The good side to this is that this corrupt money changer system is in it’s last days! Maybe we can get away from central banking… You know like Kennedy wanted when he was assassinated!

    • No time

      Obama and Putin are both on the same side, and that’s not the same side as you and I are on. They are culling the global herd of human monkeys again, get it, we are being farmed.
