Obama To Deliver Statement On Ukraine At 4:45 PM - Live Stream

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Obama is scheduled to speak on the Ukraine 4:45pm. He may not even be half an hour last this time. And while we are waiting, we just got this:

  • U.S. BELIEVES GROUND TROUPS IN CRIMEA ARE INDEED RUSSIAN: CNN

Perhaps this confirms there are no Russian troops on the ground after all.

Well that was quick:

  • OBAMA SAYS ‘DEEPLY CONCERNED’ BY RUSSIAN MILITARY MOVEMENTS
  • OBAMA SAYS "THERE WILL BE COSTS" FOR MILITARY INTERVENTION IN UKRAINE
  • OBAMA SAYS "UKRAINE PEOPLE DESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DETERMINE THEIR OWN FUTURE"
  • OBAMA SAYS HE COMMENDS RESTRAINT OF UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT
  • OBAMA SAYS BIDEN HAS SPOKEN WITH PRIME MINISTER OF UKRAINE
  • OBAMA SAYS U.S. SUPPORTS UKRANIAN SOVERIGNTY

And... that's it: no statement on what if anything the US will do if Russia keeps its presence there and continues piling troops and equipment.

Since it is only 12:48, and my time zone is the ONLY time zone, I guess I still have a four-hour wait to hear what he has to say.

 

That was sarcasm, of course, yet I have to excoriate the appropriate Tyler here, with his idiotic article headline "Obama to Speak at 4:45 PM (no time zone indicated)", for being as presumptuous and clueless as most Eastern USA residents in assuming that their time zone is the ONLY time zone.  Why do you people do this?

What's better (or worse) in the context of articulation Union Moronity: an articulate moron, or an inarticulate moron?

I do think the answer is inarticulate moron. Although, I believe articulation is the function that allows us to judge the moronity of the subject. In other words, we can more accurately describe a subject as moron if the subject is articulate. Expressed another way: on average, a moron is more often articulate, and less often inarticulate.

After this thought excercise, I think the answer is inconclusive, and probably inconsequential.

I'm still surprised by the reaction of the blue team fundies.  They wanted to end the red team wars and civil liberty violations but their new puppet continued Iraq for years, refuses to close the concentration camp in Cuba, and the Afghan war has lasted another 6(!) years.  Yet they continue to support him, even when the worst of the red team fundies publically support these policies too. 

Voting is definitely a complete farce.

People very busy since Sun Tzu. Sun was a warrior but sadly he did not have banks, rehypothocation, mark to magic, John Corzine, dark pools or the monetization of war with command economies. Also, Sun could not imagine how corporations, banks and Wall Street could profit from war.

I am optimistic as (I don't think) corporations and banks cannot profit from actual nuclear war, but the threat of it can go one endlessly. History rhymes...again.

   You got that right. Any speech so soon into these developments cannot be promising. He is going to get up there..play President..believe this to be a film or a television series and without question say something that he cannot back off from and I am sure Putin already knows this and simply does not care. There is no public support for another foreign war so much as he would love this distraction from at home economic issues and what he percieves as his chance to look PREZZY LIKE. 

   This is not Iraq, this is not Syria..oh and they are aligned with China.

Another red line speech. Totally laughable. No one in this administration will raise a finger in response to this Soviet style aggression. History it looks is about to repeat itself. I'm having a hard time with this administrations foreign policy to begin with and now this. Sec of State John Kerry and Sec of Defense Chuck Hagle are not exactly giving me any comfort either. We are so screwed in so many ways now. I'm not sure this group could respond to South Florida being invaded much less Ukraine.

 And Putin is about to ask for the condemnation and ask what costs as he continues on knowing exactly what the Anglo/Saxon/EU gameplan already is. He simply does not care. 

 Someone should also refer puppet to this list:

1)USA

2) Russia

3) China

 

And then this one:

2) Russia 8,500

3) Somewhere around 225 LOL

I had to laugh at the 'costs' comment also but in reality the jokes probably on me because he was probably talking about the costs to US taxpayers.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my ukranium brothers. And you will know I am THE OWEBLAHBLAH when I lay my vengeance upon you.

I expected to be underwhelmed.  But he might as well as have just came out and waived a white flag and left.  I suspect Vlad is probably more emboldened than ever following that give up.  Crimea is clearly conceded, the question is how greedy does Vlad get?

The US is broke and beaten.  Russian walks across the "red line" within a week after it is drawn; China is publicly lecturing and openly mocking the US on human rights.  And a growing number of US citizens are starting to realize the problem - that their own government is not even on their side.  And what is this so called "freedom" that we've been told we're fighting for?
