So Slow Joe Biden goes to Kiev, and the Russians use the visit as an excuse to threaten the Ukrainians

Good work, foreign policy geniuses.

Via Zero Hedge:


RT reported moments ago that "Russia will retaliate if it is attacked and the interests of the Russian people are threatened" citing Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov. He alleged the US has a hand in the current stand-off in Ukraine between the coup-appointed government and anti-Maidan activists.
In an interview with RT’s Sophie Shevardnadze, Sergey Lavrov said that Washington “is running the show” in the Ukrainian crisis.

“There is no reason not to believe that the Americans are running the show,” said Lavrov, referencing US Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to Kiev and its coincidence with the renewed counter-terror operation on activists in East Ukraine.

“It’s quite telling they chose the moment of the Vice President of the US’ visit to announce the resumption of this operation because the launching of this operation happened immediately after John Brennon’s [head of the CIA] visit to Kiev,” said Lavrov.
Sounds like an invasion of the Eastern Ukraine is right around the corner, and the administration can and will do nothing except hand the Russians the excuse they want to send in the tanks.

  1. It is absolutely mind boggling that Biden is VP, much less sent anywhere to represent what once was a proud Republic.
