Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer slammed President Obama’s statement on the apparent Russian invasion of Crimea, saying he “could not have issued a more flaccid statement.”

Krauthammer spoke with Fox News’ Bret Baier on a panel with Washington Post columnist Charles Lane and National Review’s Jonah Goldberg. He expressed dismay at President Obama’s tepid condemnation of Russia’s incursion into southern Ukraine.
“The Ukrainians — and I think everybody — are shocked by the weakness of Obama’s statements,” Krauthammer began. “I find it rather staggering . . . What he’s saying is we’re not going to really do anything, and we’re telling the world.”
