I read yesterday that Russia gave Kerry their "word" that they would not respond militarily to the crisis in Ukraine and just read this afternoon that Russia is already using military force in Ukraine to "secure their interests".

Jermyn, the cia totally failed on this one. Just two days ago, according to fox, they said that Russia was not going to move into the Ukraine. Then less than 24 hours later we see upwards of 6000 troops on the ground. Sumbody messed up.
Of course Putin gave misinformation to Kerry. Putin was not the head of the KGB for nothing. He did a classic example of keeping your adversary off track until you had done what you intended to do.
Obama is in a crack on this one. If he does nothing he looks wimpy, if he jumps to war like McCain wants then the left will dog him.
Putin moved while Obama is talking. Russia is not going to let the Ukraine go, it is considered he cradle of Russia.
Furthermore, China has now weighed in on the side of Russia of course, demanding that the Ukraine pay up the 6 billion dollar debt that is owed to China. I am sure that if the Ukraine gets back in line with the mother Russia then that debt will then be extended. If not then it is due.
This is what they will do to the US if Obama steps out of line.
