Not potus!!! Maybe china, But I Doubt It
3. Obama, how many divisions do you have?
C   (03.03.14)
Before threatening another major power, Obama must figure out how he would enforce what he threatens. Yet Obama has just reduced the US military to pre-WWII levels. While Putin was invading the Crimea, Obama declared the Cold War all but dead. Obama tends to take his wishes for reality.
4. I call for imposing BDS, UNSC, ICC, NATO, US GI's on Russia

5. Wrong side of history ?
Helen Palsgraf ,   Rutland Vermont   (03.03.14)
Wrong side of history ? A man who has no idea how to lead and run his own country is making remarks about Russia. What a joke.
6. fool me once, shame on you
(03.03.14)
Putin wanted to work with the US and Obama against their common enemy, radical Islam. When Obama said he wanted to protect innocents in Libya, Putin supported him. Then it turned out that Obama lied to Putin: he only wanted indiscriminate bombing of civilians and regime change. Why should Putin trust Mr. "I'm really good at killing" Obama? Why shouldn't Putin believe that the coup in Ukraine wasn't instigated by Obama to prevent Russian support for Assad?
7. Russia's Interests
Howard ,   USA   (03.04.14)
The United States has absolutely no strategic interest in Ukraine. The new Soviet Union does.

Gabi ,   Minsk   (03.04.14)
your comment sound like a statement of an child: "Putin wanted to work with the US and Obama against their common enemy, radical Islam. When Obama said...." dude. this whole radical islam stuff is just to legitimate israels actions. the same islamist were founded and supported by the USA and israel (hamas). its all politics.
9. classic Russian vibe
Cameron ,   USA   (03.04.14)
Ever the heavy-handed folk.
10. Russia's army is
Erin ,   USA   (03.04.14)
On the wrong side of a "no-sided argument". Tell us why you're reallythere, Russia. Tell us why you are terrifying our people and potentially leading them to a place of starving. You are hurting me personally when you do things like this because I love these people and you will not leave them to be freely living in their own country.May God save us. Amen
11. The UN is meant to protect civilians in foreign countries...
Brett L ,   JHB RSA   (03.04.14)
Russia is using the situation as an excuse to annex foreign land and has nothing to do with protecting its citizens. If anything, russia is endangering the lives of its citizens buy doing what it is doing.
12. There is a new Tzar / dictator on the block...

13. Number 8
Brett L ,   JHB RSA   (03.04.14)
Thats right, blame Israel once again for the failings around the world!! Putin had no intention of doing the right thing. It was a political ruse to ensure that assad remains in power so russia can sell its arms and ammunition to this muslim fundamentalist so if we are talking about legitimising terrorism, i would say russia is guilty as charged. i am no supporter of obama but he has been the only american leader that has worked towards some kind of peace in the world. Unfortunately bhis stance is going to have to change after the lies and bullshit that putin has made obama believe! You are right though, it is all politics but it seems you only want it to be politics you agree with. Your tzar will drag you down and he doenst give a hoot, he is nuts!!
14. #4 not mine.

15. Obama the Prophet - I Quote -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.04.14)
US President Barack Obama told reporters in Washington, while meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that Russia is 'on the wrong side of history', Comment - Still Russia will come out of History better than the US. Arn.Sweden.
16. New Ukraine gov. is crying for "help"- very interesting..!- but let's look closer
(03.04.14)
This so called 'revolution' was made by GERMANS - all the 'helpers', elements (=infiltrators), so called 'activists' and CONT-(R)-ACTS came from it - and their active Nazi-clans behind (they didn gave up history !), best combined with KKR/H.KRAVIS, exactly THIS ONE, who was responsible that a number of hundredtousand of Americans lost their small homes and the live-existance!; the same little houses, what stayed than empty, got rotten and villages and little towns got rotten too - AND the human beings ! - THESE are the democracy-bringers,helpers of the Ukraine...! - some more on the 'round table' and involved: the DRUGSbosses of GOTTI-clan - to arrange the next markets; added by the multicriminal AGA KHAN (Salafist's-movement developer and stock-holder of military stocks also by loans -by drugbosses or and banks-) - all of them bancrupt since long time, like KRAVIS- only going with loans/now just waiting to fill up in XXXXL by overtaking next country / - AND: all of them have a main base in GERMANIA ( PLUS France and -a bit less- in Poland) - the same like the 3 'Negotiators' !! SUCH A coincidence !!! -- EYES UP ! -- these are the same, what had organized theME-Lebanon-SYRIA-Chaos- what for? - see pl.above and look to deep history ! - EYES UP !
17. It was this german criminalSteinmeier who came withContract,for BREAKING day after!
(03.04.14)
his past strongly connected and pampered with GITMO should teach us + US really the right things !
18. Obama unless Putin forget 1974 Turkey invasion....
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (03.04.14)
Is a sad outcome for the world, every big countries and blocks try to eat into potential proxy territories. Either by procuring or by invasion force taking sides. Well Obama is wrong again! If a medium power like Turkey can invade Cyprus in 1974 it will be a slap on Putin mouth if Russia walk away with the tail beneath 2 hind legs. The world today live on pride power and gangsterism system! (end)
19. All this situation good for Israel!
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (03.04.14)
Let God judge these manipulating countries...Russia help Iran who wish to wipe Israel of the map of this world. Europe with the P1 (still trying to fulfill world superiority on hitler agenda from behind the scene) demanding and deciding the fate of Israel and JERUSALEM. So let God orchestrate some politics for them to swallow. God bless Israel (end)
20. no. 14 - that's clear because it is true unlike yours
(03.04.14)
21. To: C at No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.04.14)
The truth is much simpler than that. Obama is an idiot. He's busy lecturing Netanyahu, while Putin grabs up the one part of the Ukraine that matters -- Crimea. Obama won't do anything about Putin, and you know what? Belarus, Moldova and the Baltic republics are next.
22. #11 The UN is a forum. Its not meant to protect anyone.
peter ,   Jerusalem   (03.04.14)
The UN doesnt have any obligation to protect anyone anywhere. It is not a world government. Its authority is supposedly moral and basically provides a forum where ambassadors can speak with each other and make deals.
