RUSH: I want to go back to March 26, 2014, in Brussels. After the European Union-U.S. summit, President Obama spoke about Russia\u2019s annexation of Crimea. Now, I recall that we had a deal with Crimea that we had promised… We basically engineered a disarm deal with Crimea so that they would be less provocative to European nations, and in exchange for them disarming, we pledged to defend \u2019em against any aggression. Well, here comes Putin aggressing all over Crimea and we didn\u2019t do diddly-squat. Here\u2019s Barack Hussein O talking about it. Remember, now, Christiane Amanpour said that Obama was standing up to Putin, whereas Trump is in bed with Putin and all this kind of stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"Listen to this bite and see if this sounds like Obama standing up to Putin.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: Crimea is not a member of NATO in part of because of its close and complex history with Russia. Nor will Russia be dislodged from Crimea or deterred from further escalation by military force. Understand as well, this is not another Cold War that we\u2019re entering into. The United States and NATO do not seek any conflict with Russia.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s why NATO exists, to stop Russia from doing things like that — things like this — and they didn\u2019t. Here\u2019s what Obama said (summarized), “Yeah, that\u2019s right. They don\u2019t qualify for membership in NATO. They got too complex a history with Russia — and everybody knows we\u2019re not gonna kick Russia out of Crimea, military force. We\u2019re not starting another Cold War. United States and NATO don\u2019t seek any conflict with Russia, so if Russia wants to own Crimea, then that\u2019s the way it is.” And that\u2019s the way it\u2019s been.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
