Russia now has 2,000 troops inside Ukraine, but despite this aggression, the White House’s response has been timid. Charles Krauthammer responded Sunday to President Obama’s statement that “the United States will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine.”
Krauthammer said on Special Report, “The Ukrainians, and I think everybody, is shocked by the weakness of Obama’s statement. I find it rather staggering.”
Krauthammer is right: Obama’s statement is about “three levels removed” from real action. Obama claimed “we will stand with the international community — meaning we are going to negotiate with a dozen other countries who will water down the statement — in affirming that there will be costs — meaning in making a statement not even imposing a cost, but in making a statement about imposing a cost — for any military intervention.”
“What he’s saying is we’re not really going to do anything and we’re telling the world,” Krauthammer said.

Everyone has their on thoughts on this, Here is mine, Obama and Putin are in this together to take peoples minds off the gun grabbing going on in the north east. When it breaks and American troops wont kill Americans, Then Russia will send troops to back up Obama.
Its like saying if you shoot that rifle I will hit you with a spit ball.
He doesn’t want beef with Russia. Me either honestly.
Obama is afraid of other strong leaders and only bullies Americans!
Why would this milk toast response surprise people?? Obama’s the weakest president in modern US history. He has little experience with anything (except lying), much less a military decision!?
I still think Carter was worse.
Not the least bit surprised. Obungler is doing everything he can to destroy the USA. Once this is understood, ALL his actions make perfect sense.
they aren`t muslims, that is why he said what he did
