After Hitting the Snooze Button for Two Months Sec. State Kerry NOW Says Ukraine is a "Wake up Call" for the West

Anyone with an ounce of sense would have said this weeks ago and acted accordingly. Not Kerry. Not Obama!

Russian backed insurrection continues to spread while Obama and Kerry do next to nothing.

Speaking to the Atlantic Council on Tuesday Secretary of State John Kerry declared that Russia's slow walk invasion of Ukraine was a "wake up call" for the Western alliance. Just as British Prime Minister realized his attempts to appease Hitler had failed and left Britain vulnerable, Kerry's pathetic response to the Ukraine crisis has created a larger crisis of confidence in the Western alliance upon which peace and economic prosperity have depended since the end of World War II.

Kerry also added:

"not one single step has been taken by Russia in any public way that seriously attempts to live by the spirit or the law of what was signed in that agreement. In fact, it's fair to say they have escalated the crisis even further."

Kerry and Obama should have realized they were being played for fools when Putin lied about putting troops into Crimea. What more does it take to wake them from the stupor of "give peace a chance" and actually take some action that might make a difference?


American leadership is the primary bond of the alliance and under Obama a vacuum has been created giving Putin and other bad guys a free hand. The damage in confidence and unity has been great and the consequences may be greater still!

P.S. Once again, the Obama Administration has turned down Ukraine's request for military aide. They did send socks and sleeping bags. PATHETIC!
