Russia invades Crimea (in the Ukraine) and attempts to destabilize the Ukraine, in clear violation of international law. The Obama administration with great indignity accuses Russia of interfering with Ukrainian sovereignty. But wait!
The Obama administration is violating the sovereignty of Syria in clear violation of international law. Washington Post article: "Syrian rebels who received first U.S. missiles of war see shipment as ‘an important first step’". Essentially both Putin and Obama are reading from the same foreign relations script. Both falsely justify the need to interfere in other countries based on fabricated trumped-up moral obligations. Putin to "protect" Russians, Obama to "protect" Syrian civilians.
Obama in denouncing Russia once again demonstrates that his rhetoric is nothing more than meaningless hot-air. Obama, like Putin, does not feel constrained by any laws. Laws are simply something to be whimsically applied and/or ignored as needed for political purposes. For Putin, the arrest Pussy Riot. For Obama to use the IRS to persecute the "Tea Party".
Russia needs to be denounced for violating the sovereignty of the Ukraine. With that in mind, the US has no business arming so-called rebels in Syria. Arming the so-called rebels is Syria keeps the war going and only increases the humanitarian tragedy in Syria. That is blatantly contrary to Obama's so called assertions that Obama is not pursing regime change in Syria and that the so-called aide is being provided to help Syrian civilians.
