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.

And Putin laughes his head off and does what ever he wants.
Kerry said “Stop!” and then said “Stop” again. What a loser.
To bad all that media and effort wasn’t put into Bengazi
Putin realizes he is working with a bunch of fellow lawless criminals in this administration. Just like a mafia, it’s the biggest dog that wins the fight.
Kerry, have you heard of the KGB? You are so naive.
and this Post, followed one by Rand Paul… The obvious thing to me is; Kerry is old-school, out of touch, has no mission to really attend to and is just ‘holding a place’ for Hillary while trying to appear relevant. FAIL! Now with the Rand Paul post, I saw a new return to that which lifted our whole economy from Reagan, to B-1, thru Clinton. I am so ready for that.
this guy should just suck his thumb no one is listning to him
The Russian army could not turn around and leave the Crimea …. They were laughing too hard.
Kerry is an idiot he makes Hillary look good, just what we need another Jimmy carter
Kerry is a LIAR AND TRAITOR, so Russia is not about to listen to a damn thing he has to say. Ovomit is a sissy weakling, so Russia will not listen to him either.
Puntin must be having a field day with our inept government leaders.
