Putin Caves: Calls Obama to discuss U.S. proposal on Ukraine

[kidrocks]

So let me get this right. Kerry presented a proposal for a diplomatic solution earlier in the week and Putin responded to the suggestions.

But Putin is caving? Responding to a US proposal is caving? OMG you people are really jumping the shark here.




Putin called to discuss a U.S. proposal for a diplomatic resolution to the Ukraine crisis, which Secretary of State John Kerry again presented to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a meeting at The Hague earlier this week

Yeah..you see that is how it works.

It's called diplomacy.

You give your opponent an "out" as opposed to bombing them to smithereens.

And given the fact that doing that would end all life on earth?

If this works out? It's a win.

Only in your world is this a win.

Leadership would have seen the crisis and made moves to have prevented it to begin with.

Now, Putin can afford to call Obama and talk diplomacy. He has Crimea and Ukraine properly shaken up.

Do you even understand how the world works? Obama has lost this round, and Putin hasn't agreed to anything. It was likely a phone call to gloat.

Keep dreaming commie-lover.

Diplomacy? It's about it time. You haven't displayed any from Washington. Neither from Ottawa, nor London.

Sanctions won't work on Putin and Russia. The G7 couldn't even ban Russia. They had to suspend themselves.

A little early to be drinking, darling. Of course they would work, because they are working NOW! The only reason why Putin is calling President Obama (praise be unto Him!) is because he is getting heat from the money people, the billionaires and oligarchs. Their stock market has lost a lot of value, and these businessmen see only future losses ahead on this path.

Russia needs the world economy a helluva lot more than vice versa.

Obama is fucking brilliant!

You have to understand you are nothing to the Russian economy. You hold no sway whatsoever.

You really need to expand past your media outlets to see what is happening the real world.

Putin just had a meeting with a mega investor in Russia from Germany. Hehehehe. The gentleman has no intention of cutting ties.

I see you have been promoted to the position of head-cheerleader of the Putin Fan Club. Here's a cheer for you... "KGB - KGB - KGB!"

 

[1776]

You think because you watch Russian news on your cable TV makes you "informed."

Tell us what Putin is doing to those "elites" that have spoken out against him in Russia....I know.

Tell us about what is happening to non-Russians in Crimea.....I know.

Tell us about the Russian goons currently in Ukraine trying to start riots...I know.

Are you going to claim Putin has the right to invade the rest of Ukraine and most likely killing thousands and displacing millions??? You're such a scumbag....

Ukraine says 100,000 Russian troops near border

 

[kidrocks]

It didn't even amount to a bone.

Sanctions won't work. Putin effectively checkmate that by announcing an intention to turn Crimea into Monte Carlo by building hotels and casinos.

Putin is six steps ahead of obama every time.

How big is that man-crush hole of yours for Putin?

 

[Katzndogz]

Hmm maybe that investor is part of the new proposal to turn Crimea into a gambling capitol. Don't assume that they discussed what you think they did.

 

[deltex1]

I just called to say I'm sorry!

RIYADH (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin called U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday to discuss a U.S. diplomatic proposal for Ukraine, the White House said.

Must have been that last hand job...

Obama calls Putin, proposes solution to Ukraine dispute
Actually Obama called him first. Now he has around 100,000 troops amassed on the Ukraine border.

Putin puts 40 , 000 on the border. obama sends MREs. And obama wins? In what alternate universe is this obama wins? obama has been begging. Putin might have called to tell obama to stop bothering him.

More than likely though, what Putin did say was that he is forced to take additional steps to protect the oil pipelines from sabotage.

Putin called Obama to say....

"Good morning Mr. President. Just calling to ask you to... Please stop humiliating me all over the world. Please, please, I'm begging you please".

"Thank you MR. PRESIDENT!"

Wow! You are getting desperate to call that wrap up of how she reads the situation a man crush.

 

[mudwhistle]

I can see the Libs proclaiming another outstanding achievement for Obama...

It's like Kim Jong IL announcing he just got a 38 in 18 holes of golf.

Yeah right, that's what they all say... you commie-lover you.

Whatever the white house has to say about the Putin obama phone call it will be as much of a lie as the white house report of the obama Pope meeting. Total fabrication.

 

[mudwhistle]

Russian President Vladimir Putin called U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday to discuss a proposal for a diplomatic resolution to the Ukrainian crisis, the White House said in a readout of the call.

Obama asked Russia to "put a concrete response in writing" to the U.S.'s proposal for a diplomatic solution and agreed that Secretary of State John Kerry would then meet with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, to discuss the proposal.

The Kremlin gave a very different version of the call. Though it said Putin "suggested examining possible steps the global community can take to help stabilise the situation," the Kremlin also said Putin drew Obama's attention to "continued rampage of extremists who are committing acts of intimidation towards peaceful residents" in various regions of Ukraine.

The call came as Russia has amassed tens of thousands of troops at the Ukrainian border, reportedly bringing the total near 40,000. A U.S. intelligence report on Wednesday warned of a "more probable" Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Will be interesting when the most transparent regime in U.S. history releases the word-for-word transcript. Then, should Russia release the same, to compare the two.

But since the first will never happen there's not much point in waiting for the second.

100,000 troops? Why stop at that lie? Why not say 1 million?

What planet are you on? He just doubled the number of troops and made a speech about mother Russia.

Um..

(Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin called U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday to discuss a U.S. diplomatic proposal for Ukraine and Obama told him that Russia must pull back its troops and not move deeper into Ukraine, the White House said.

It was believed to have been the first direct conversation between Obama and Putin since the United States and its European allies began imposing sanctions on Putin's inner circle and threatened to penalize key sectors of Russia's economy.

Russia's reinforcement of troops near Ukraine has brought the total forces there to as many as 40,000, U.S. officials estimated on Friday in a build up that has increasingly worried Washington in recent days.

The White House noted specifically that it was Putin who called Obama, who is ending a four-nation trip in Saudi Arabia and had just returned to his Riyadh hotel after talks with King Abdullah.
