"you stay out of ukraine!" "no you stay out of ukraine!" seriously, if there has ever been a moment where people should realize that the US has ZERO moral high ground in the cold war (i'm calling it, the cold war is going to make a come back) its this one.
Obama was a retard to begin with. That "Red line" is a political threat, one that putin knows would have absolutely 0 backing or legitimacy. Its all smoke screens and parlor tricks anyways.
The US Secretary of State John Kerry has condemned Moscow's "incredible act of aggression" in Ukraine, and warned of "very serious repercussions" including sanctions to isolate Russia economically.
"You just don't in the 21st century behave in a 19th century fashion by invading another country on a completely trumped up pretext," he said.
If I were the president of the United States I'd surround Cuba with warships right now, and tell him to back the @#$% up. It's an equivalent trade if Putin wants to play Hungry Hippo on strategic positions, and both sides have clearly burnt the rule book. If Putin didn't do what I said I'd have Cuba flying my flag in the morning and sailing the rest of my fleet towards Venezuela.
