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.

old mule face lies again, not worth the time it would take to fire him.
the new bitch nation, all Kerry and Obama has to do is bend over.
Yoi are right ,Pam,WE do Remember
Kerry is a BIG joke

No one respects Kerry or Obama anything they say everyone laughs about it.
Lol. A scolding ! 97 % of Crimea voted to be with Russia but we and the EU cry foul. But when it’s an “Arab spring ” and a pro central bank regime it’s legit.
Russia is only afraid of his bad facelift.
Lurch, Russia doesn’t care about this guy…
Putin isn’t impressed with this moron OR the $#%&!@* in our oval office.
