Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with Vladimir Putin tomorrow:
Kerry, Putin to meet in Sochi to discuss Iran, Syria, Ukraine http://t.co/tMpHpHgJfM

Garry Kasparov, world chess champion and chairman of the Human Rights Foundation, continued his ongoing criticism of the Obama administration’s handling of Putin:
Kerry going to Sochi to meet Putin. Sochi! Why not Yalta?! "To convey US interests clearly." They were made clear by this meeting already.

How long will Putin make Kerry wait this time? Last time was 3 hrs. Putin's way of telling him to go to hell before actually saying it.

Maybe Kerry will adopt Putin's line & refer to Stalin's "alleged atrocities". Wouldn't want to offend, you only represent the United States.

At this point Putin has to believe there is nothing he cannot do. He invades Ukraine, annexes Crimea, and Kerry still runs to see him.

This isn't just pathetic by Obama admin; it's very dangerous. When a dictator feels invincible they raise the stakes, take more risks.

This is why the list of thing "Putin would never" do that he has done keeps getting longer. He'd never annex Crimea, never invade Ukraine.

Saying "Putin would never" go after a NATO country should see it from his side. Why not? They won't defend Ukraine, won't even argue Crimea.

It’s almost like Romney was right.
