Biden to Putin: 'Don't Tells Us, Show Us'

Source: ABC News

Vice President Joe Biden took aim at Vladimir Putin on Saturday, telling him, "Don't tell us, show us," after the Russian president said he did not want war and wants to cooperate with other world leaders.

"Too many times, President Putin has promised peace and delivered tanks and troops and weapons. So we will continue to provide Ukraine with security assistance, not to encourage war, but to allow Ukraine to defend itself," Biden said. "The Ukrainian people have the right to defend themselves," Biden said, drawing applause.

Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry met Saturday with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who on Friday traveled to Moscow with French President Francois Hollande to meet with Putin and propose a new peace plan. Merkel will visit the White House to meet with President Obama on Monday.

"We don't want war with anyone. We intend to cooperate with all," Putin told a trade union on Saturday, The Associated Press reported. Russia has denied accusations from the U.S. and western European allies that it has supplied soldiers and heavy arms to bolster pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine.

pull his troops on a permanent "military exercise" away from the border and allow UN monitors along the full eastern Ukrainian border.

But he will not

I notice all of the "pro-Russian" soldiers all have new winter uniforms and coats. Where did that come from? They also have and endless resupply of munitions and tanks.

He plotted the whole thing from day one without ever telling President Obama. God, he is so brilliant.
