Regardless of your party affiliation, can we agree that was a pathetic weak statement that basically said nothing?

ETA:
He said he's sending John to negotiate a peace between Israel and Hammas. Yes he actually called him John. 

He also said the Russian backed separatists better let out investigators in there or else the pressure from the International community will uhhhhh increase. 


Then he said It's time for Putin to uhhh

Why was he giving another presser? Didn't he have one Friday?

He gave a "warning" to Putin and Russia. I'm sure they're terrified now.

Say the international community will use force to gain full access to the wreckage. If Putin opposes, he has the US and the rest of Europe to deal with.

Can we send John to Detroit so he can be used by all the water bill protesters?

Uh huh. But we're not going to arm the Ukrainians, are we?

We'll arm Mexican cartels, rebels in Libya and Syria, but not a US ally who is being attacked in a proxy-war by the USSR.

You do understand making such a statement would require a prior agreement from European nations and the US to basically invade Eastern Ulakraine to secure the crash site?

You cant just make shite up to sound tough.

There's tons of news out there about what a huge corner Putin has backed himself in politically, and how the sanctions have Russian billionaires in a panic and captial continues to leave the country, and you think we're the ones failing here?
