Charles Krauthammer: Obama Is Being Ridiculed By Russians

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer made an appearance on the Special Report All Star Panel last night to discuss the latest on the crisis in Ukraine. He wasn’t too impressed with our government’s response to that situation.
“[Obama is] being ridiculed by Russians, especially, because the statement and the policy are ridiculous,” Krauthammer said. He was speaking of President Obama’s statement yesterday that sanctions will be levied against certain high-profile Eastern Europeans who supported Russian President Vladimir Putin’s incursion into the Crimean peninsula.
“He doesn’t have a lot of cards,” he continued, “but he has some cards. And if he thinks that sanctioning seven Russians, out of a population of what? 150 million? is a sanction, he’s living in a different world.”
“The one thing that we could do is to respond to the Ukrainian request — when the president was here last week, they asked the Pentagon for weapons. And we said no because somehow to arm the victim of aggression is a provocation. So we said no. We’re going to offer them rations. Well, that’s going to hold off Russian tanks, I’m sure,” Krauthammer said.
