Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to recover from U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s stern scolding after Russia moved Tuesday to begin the annexation of Crimea.
Kerry warned Putin the action would place Russian on “the wrong side of history.”
Kerry offered the first high-level response to Putin’s defiant speech laying claim to Crimea as a historic part of Russia and criticizing the U.S. and Europe’s response to the crisis in front of an audience of students at the State Department.“I was really struck and somewhat surprised and disappointed by the interpretations and the facts as they were articulated by the president,” Kerry said. “With all due respect, they really didn’t jibe at all with reality or what’s happening on the ground.”
Kerry said it was clear that Russia had intended to complete its annexation of Crimea, and issued a stern warning against further Russian incursions into Eastern Ukraine by Putin’s government.
“We have made it very clear that that’s a hard line in terms of the level — I mean, that will be a major breach and I hope we don’t get there,” Kerry said of the possibility of a further Russian incursion into Ukraine’s east.
With tough talk like that we can almost hear the snickers from the Kremlin here in America.

A “stern scolding”? Please! The Rusians are laughing at you now, just as the NVA did when you were testifying in the 70’s.

The same thing could happened to America our commander and chief is week and doesn’t care. Russia has a strong army and are right at our back door .
The PTA threatening the KGB? Wow, I bet that went over well. What a t**d this clown is.
Kerry is so brainwashed, he don’t know his a$$ from a hole in the ground.
KERRY IS THE BIGGEST JOKE THERE IS BESIDES HIS BOSS WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSER COMMUNISTS

Kerry/ Obama= weakling 1 and weakling 2
Our Governments been too busy playing war with Patriotic Americans to bother with real threats. Who’s to say what’s going on in Crimea? Wasn’t it our CIA that started the revolution in the Ukraine? All part of the plan with a little tough talk in between.
He’s a joke just like Hillary.
