Ted Cruz: "Stand Up To Putin's Power Grab... Stand With Ukraine"

2/28/2014 9:01:00 PM - Kevin Glass
In the wake of President Obama's tepid response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine - the Obama Administration called it an "unplanned arrival" - Republicans pushed for a stronger response.

Sen. Ted Cruz warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not take the cautious words of President Obama very seriously - and look into suspending Russia from the World Trade Organization and the United Nations Security Council:

Quote

    "As the President and his national security team are apparently the last to learn, Putin has scant regard for international norms when they run counter to his goal of re-establishing Soviet-style regional hegemony over unfortunate states like Georgia and Ukraine who have the temerity to want a more free, prosperous future for their people. And Putin is under no illusions that the President’s vague threats mean any more than his infamous ‘red line’ in the Syrian desert.

    “If we were serious about standing up to Putin’s power grab, we would immediately suspend Russian membership in the Group of Eight (G8), which should consist of nations that can contribute to a civilized order. And if the Russians persist in this aggressive action, we should look into additional measures such as suspension from the World Trade Organization and even the United Nations Security Council.

    “The United States should stand with Ukraine.”

This continues a string of tough talk from Sen. Cruz on Russia and warnings that President Obama is taking the threat of the Russian Bear a little lightly. In January, Cruz said that Putin was "playing chess, and the United States is playing checkers."

Sen. Marco Rubio was more concise and direct, calling Vladimir Putin a tyrant. "The U.S. cannot accept Russian aggression against a neighbor and United Nations member in blatant violation of international law," Rubio said in a statement. "Tyrants like Vladimir Putin may threaten and intimidate, but the clear arc of history favors people's universal desire to be free."

It was only yesterday that American intelligence reportedly assessed that Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine, as The Daily Beast's Eli Lake reported that a U.S. intelligence official concluded that Russian military maneuvers were concerning but "we don't have any reason to think it's more than military exercises."

And, of course, CNN brings us the picture on the ground in Ukraine today:

All this rhetoric and bluster makes my head spin.

I know that Bambi (Mr. I'll be more flexible after I'm elected) and Putin are interested in world domination by two groups, Communists and Muzlims.

Seems to me like the plan is right on track.

YES, I do do know that, a few severed heads not withstanding.
But, the gays, like the negros, are politically ignorant and they will follow their master to the cliff, where he will throw them over when he's done with them.

Supposedly spending time with child filmmakers, or some such thing. No time for national security briefings! I don't know about D.C., but it was almost warm enough here to play golf, and we're about a five or six-hour drive west of Obammyland.  I took a walk instead, but just sayin' ....

I object, Your Honor. Rainbow Dash has too high standards to associate with Obama. One of the key aspects of the series is teaching kids not to lie.  :whistle:

What does Cruz mean by "stand with Ukraine?"  Is he advocating military action?
Trump has created a cult and looks more and more like Hitler every day.
