Here we go again !

You can't make this stuff up, even if you tried. NO ONE would believe it.

(Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama called on Ukraine's armed forces on Wednesday to stay out of the country's political crisis and warned that there would be consequences for those who "step over the line."

If they step over the line then Barry will...draw another line. Remember what happened when the Brits had a vote to follow Barry into war the last time?

I wonder if this is yet ANOTHER example of the bubble Barry lives in, where he believes that when he lectures the world, they act like students from one of his classes and are enthralled with his every word. '

The level of hubris with this President even exceeds, if that's possible, Bill Clinton. Only w/ Barry, it's entirely misplaced and false, and he's only pretending to know what the hell he's dong.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

HAHAHAHAHA! I didn't catch that whole "line-drawing" exercise but you're right! Fortunately for the Ukraine, Obama WILL draw another line. And another. One of these days, he'll figure out that sometimes, there IS no good side to be on, so it's best not to draw lines at all!

MY interpretation? The opposition in Ukraine is made up of several factions; one headed by Tyahnybok (the Svoboda or "freedom" party. Did you flinch when you read the word? You should!) who is a far-right Neo_nazi, and another led by Klitschko, the ex-boxer turned politician. Klitschko, you may recall, was the "complicated electron" in the leaked US phone call: the USA has no interest in making HIM part of any future government.

In any case, Yanukovich granted amnesty for Euromaidan protesters (rioters, in many cases) if they would leave, and the day after Klitschko- seeing his chance at political influence fade away (no support from the West)- decides to launch a guerrilla campaign against the government. So, violence and chaos ensues. In other words, it's a power-grab. If you pay attention to the details and the timing, you might surmise a lot of background activity.

Anyway, that's my interpretation.

And another phantabulous statement from our fearless leader

Obama: Ukraine, Syria are not pieces on ‘some Cold-War chessboard’

Quote:
President Barack Obama denied late Wednesday that Russian-US tensions over Syria and Ukraine were playing out on “some Cold-War chessboard” even as he acknowledged deep divisions between Moscow and Washington.

ld-war-chessboard-023519235.html

Wow. Because we have such deep and abiding national interest in Syria and the Ukraine that we just have to meddle in their internal affairs? This reminds me of Obama's statement just after the Snowden revelations broke that all NSA data-collection was "lawful".

Seriously?? LIAR! LIAR! PANTS ON FIRE!

Does Barry really believe that to be true, or does he just say that to stuff for window dressing?

He can't be that stupid & naive, can he??
