Obama Spoke To Putin For One Hour: White House Summarizes The Conversation

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A week after Obama held his first crisis photo op holding a phone while supposedly talking to Putin, he has followed up with another, hour-long conversation. Below is the official White House statement on what was said.

Readout of President Obama’s call with President Putin of Russia

 

President Obama spoke for an hour this afternoon with President Putin of Russia.

 

President Obama emphasized that Russia’s actions are in violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, which has led us to take several steps in response, in coordination with our European partners.

 

President Obama indicated that there is a way to resolve the situation diplomatically, which addresses the interests of Russia, the people of Ukraine, and the international community.

 

As a part of that resolution, the governments of Ukraine and Russia would hold direct talks, facilitated by the international community; international monitors could ensure that the rights of all Ukrainians are protected, including ethnic Russians; Russian forces would return to their bases; and the international community would work together to support the Ukrainian people as they prepare for elections in May.

 

President Obama indicated that Secretary Kerry would continue discussions with Foreign Minister Lavrov, the government of Ukraine, and other international partners in the days to come to advance those objectives.

And here is the just released Kremlin version:

At the initiative of the American side was held a telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and the President of the United States Barack Obama.

 

The acute situation in Ukraine was the topic of the continued conversation. The discussion revealed differences in the approaches and assessments of the causes of the current crisis and situation.

 

Vladimir Putin, in particular, noted that as a result of the anti-constitutional coup that does not have a national mandate, the current Ukrainian leadership is imposing the Eastern and Southeastern regions of Ukraine and Crimea absolutely illegitimate decisions. Russia can not ignore any appeals for helpd addressed to it in this regard, and is acting appropriately, in full compliance with international law.

 

The Russian President stressed the paramount importance of Russian-American relations to ensure stability and security in the world. These relations should not be sacrificed due to individual - albeit very important - international problems.

 

The two leaders agreed that the foreign ministers Sergei Lavrov and John Kerry will continue intensive contacts.

In other words, even more of the same. We eagerly await the Kremlin's take of the same phone conversation. In the meantime, while we await for the official visual from this particular photo op, here is the one from last Saturday.

If the conversation happened, it was to divide Ukraine between USA & Russia. Like Hitler, and Stalin agreeing to share Poland.

An Hour??? No. This is something far more critical. The respective State Departments will have to work for weeks on a deal like that.

 

I think that there is a US Warship trapped in a harbor over there.

Diplomatic pronouncements are renowned for hypocrisy and double standards. But western denunciations of Russian intervention in Crimea have reached new depths of self parody. The so far bloodless incursion is an "incredible act of aggression", US secretary of state John Kerry declared. In the 21st century you just don't invade countries on a "completely trumped-up pretext", he insisted, as US allies agreed that it had been an unacceptable breach of international law, for which there will be "costs".

-

That the states which launched the greatest act of unprovoked aggression in modern history on a trumped-up pretext – against Iraq, in an illegal war now estimated to have killed 500,000, along with the invasion of Afghanistan, bloody regime change in Libya, and the killing of thousands in drone attacks on Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, all without UN authorisation – should make such claims is beyond absurdity.

JC remember the child-hood defnition of insanity, "Doing same over and over and expecting different results" ...

Panama, Grenada, Falklands, Nicaragua, ... Iraq, Somalia, Afghan, ... it was all going so good, and predictable,

Then SYRIA they got bitch slapped, and now they're getting fucked back with their own shit, ... trouble is now the USA has lost all fucking credibility.

Telling how long LURCH/HILLARY can use the MSM to feed the "We're the good guys"

That said, ... the USA needs a BLACK-SWAN an bad,... they need to do something really fucking NASTY to CHINA-RUSSIA to get them to do something STUPID.

*

But for now the USA is like the proverbial chicken with its head cut-off, all dressed up, and  nobody willing to be FUCKED.

The ONLY ACE the USA has left is the USD, pull the plug on that FIAT to INFINITE WHORE and the entire house of cards  implodes.

Did ZIO- plan all along to GRIND the USA into the fucking dirt? Yes, I think so.

Even the BRAIN-DEAD know that ISRAEL in PALESTINE is not a long term solution, better would be to ANNIHILATE the hair-lip in the USA, engineer a civil-war, mass genocide, the pay Palestinians to clean up the Mess so God's Chosen People can immigrate to the New ISrael in the West.

USSA of Trayvon is a joke now.  MIC should be mildly concerned because no one wants their shitty weapons systems.  The Chinese and other countries know the Russians have the best weapons now.  MIC has to be worried about any war because the USSA of Trayvon shit will be exposed for the junk that it is.

The F-35 and F-22 have been exposed as junk.  The US Navy cut back the buy on the F-35.  Foreign countries are cutting their orders as well because it is garbage.   No one wants USSA technology, software, cloud hosting or anything because any foreign company using US technology, software or hardware knows any secrets will go back to the NSA and those secrets will be sold to USA companies.

Countries implode due to total corruption which is where the USSA is headed.

Let's apply some quick logical analysis here: Everyone knows Putin is fluent in English and about fifty other languages. Obomba is only fluent in that ghetto jive and partially fluent in English. Since there's no translator, this means the two must be conversing in Ebonics, which, with a Russian accent, must sound ...very interesting.

Putin Listens to Obama talk about fucking Reggie, and Reggine wearing dresses, and Photo's of Reggie,

Yep we're supposed to believe that PUTIN listened to OBAMA shit for an hour.

Most likely Russian Rep's of PUTIN listened, and had a pre-recorded "YEP", and let Obama go on and on.

*

I don't think PUTIN would take a call from OBAMA even for more than one mintue, ... remember PUTIN knows that OBAMA is a man-whore dressed up as an OREO. Why in the fucking hell would a REAL man like PUTIN want to talk with OBAMA?

Ok, now BIDEN, or NETANYAHU, then PUTIN will at least listen to the those that OWN/CONTROl the USA

If Cass Sunstein put a call in PUTIN would take it, and listen.

"American Beauty"

In the movie the NAZI guys kills the Kevin, becuase Kevin rejects the homosexual advance.

Obama goes to PUTIN and offers the only thing he knows, a "MAN FUCK" and PUTIN tell's OBAMA to "FUCK OFF", Now what is OBAMA to do, he's shamed, but he does have the "CODE BOOK" and release key's to NUKE Russia.

This is the kind of shit that starts mega-wars when you put a man-whore in the position of POWER, but then ZIO- ( CASS SUNSTEIN ) knew all along what the outcome would look like.

What I think the bottom line is, the EU and US want's Russia to join them and stop partnering with China.

 

Putting Nukes on their border is just an incentive.

Things are going perfectly in accordance with my earlier observations about world peace.

 

i have gone on record on zh with the position that oblastaboma lucked out in syria when a handful of brits decided to vote to not join in with the us of a and the obedient french on an attack on syria, (and that assad will be gone in now under three years), that the egyptian reset of democracy was going to be far less violent the ours was, that a brave man from iran spoke out courageously and shattered the 'iran is evil' myth in plain view of all to see and hear, that there is an unstoppable train of events that is leading to world peace.

i kid you not.

just eight years ago russia took by power and war. now, they enter the world of language. voluntarily.

ukraine is the last one before all major powers, including china, have resolved the standards of conduct. or should i say non conduct. there are fewer and fewer tools for nations to war with. soon it will be down to only words.

full reset. peaceful. all options open. the ukraininan two state solution coming up.

that card plays everywhere. pick a country.

world peace my friends.

and its accompanying peace dividend, for those of you interested in that play.

:)

russia makes a desperate attempt to rig the election in crimea by limiting the ballot to two options:

http://ukraineanalysis.wordpress.com/2014/03/07/crimean-referendum-a-gro...

"1.  Are you for the Crimea re-uniting with Russia, as a subject of the Russian Federation?

2.  Are you for the reinstatement of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of the Crimea and for the status of the Crimea as part of Ukraine? "

 

this will tell tale. i hold that the people of crimea do not want their children and their grandchildren to be a 'subject' of czar putin. whatever the interpretation of '2' is, '2' leaves some hope for their future as a free people.

time for me to double down: russian attempts to rig the election by excluding independent crimea with no tags w/ eu nor russia nor the rest of ukraine fail. crimeans overwhelmingly vote '2.'. so overwhelmingly that putin folds. he knew going in that he is not wanted there. perhaps a different russia, but not with the now-seeking-at-least-his-fourth-term czar putin-take. now putin-take will know that crimea is spelled afghanistan.

he bows out gracefully and tries to then force threw his agenda legislatively. that fails too as the new crimea sorts out that one ukraine with at least two states is what they want for their children and grandchildren.

Putin is not a very smart person but he is a ruthless mobster and a thug.

He doesn't care about either Russia or Russian people but it is his territory. Mobsters do not negotiate about their territory. If one tries to move on your turf then either you kill your invader or you are dead.

Few years ago, he protected his territory from Georgia. It took a lot of efforts to stop him. Now with Ukraine, he put himself a corner. As I wrote many times, Russia does not have a capable army since Putin does not trust them. But he has nukes and he will use them if pushed too hard. 

Obama fucked up Ukraine affairs very badly. If Putin is not overthrown by his domestic enemies, the West and NATO is up-to very ruff times. Putin is not Qaddafy or Saddam, i.e., he will not wait for NATO move. He will strike first and hard. Presently, he is not made his mind yet. But one thing is clear: there will be a major confrontation with the West. Putin is fighting for his and his family lives and he will not take prisoners. Remember, he is a ruthless mobster and a thug. And now, he trust to nobody.

Finally, we have Obama, his homosexual and Banking Mafia puppeteers. We are in fucking big trouble!

Yesterday I wrote that 'denial is a river in Ukraine' but apparently it also flows through Washington.

I don't think that Russia will accept nanny guided talks with Ukraine.
