Obama executive order declares national emergency; Ukraine crisis an “extraordinary threat” to U.S. national securityDr. Eowyn:

To call Russia’s occupation of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula “an extraordinary threat” to the national security of the United States is patently absurd.

Even more absurd is to use Ukraine as the pretext to declare a state of national emergency in America.

But that’s exactly what President Lucifer did this morning.

For what is he setting the stage? Another war?

Today, at 1:05 pm, U.S. President Barack Obama issued a statement to the press that:

“This morning I signed an executive order that authorizes sanctions on individuals and entities responsible for violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, or for stealing the assets of the Ukrainian people.

According to my guidance, the State Department has also put in place restrictions on the travel of certain individuals and officials.  These decisions continue our efforts to impose a cost on Russia and those responsible for the situation in Crimea.  And they also give us the flexibility to adjust our response going forward based on Russia’s actions.”
