On Thursday Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations used her inaugural statement to condemn what she described as Russian aggression in Ukraine.

During her confirmation hearing last month, Nikki Haley accused Russia of committing war crimes in Syria and said she favors a continuation of sanctions.

“United States continues to condemn and call for an immediate end to the Russian occupation of Crimea. Crimea is a part of Ukraine. Our Crimea-related sanctions will remain in place until Russia returns control over the peninsula to Ukraine,” Haley said.
On March 6, 2014 a referendum was held in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. 95.5% of voters supported joining Russia. Following the vote, Russia officially recognized Crimea. The EU and the United States condemned the vote as illegal.
Despite Trump’s campaign trail insistence he would thaw relations between Russia and the United States, after he assumed office he did not take action to end sanctions imposed on Russia.
Additionally, he has not indicated if he will continue sending troops into the Baltics or reconsider the deployment of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System in Poland.
In 2009, the US said it would discontinue the project. Republicans protested the decision and Senator John McCain said it was “seriously misguided.”

Are these neo-con wackjobs saying this stuff to hear themselves talk? Most “real” American citizens know that it is all a bunch of horseshit to bow to the New World Odor!
May be she is the neighbour of this clown and traitor of his own country, McKane?
Native Americans….. part of Israels 10 lost tribes.
I think it’s time to rein in Nikki if Trump wants to improve relations with the Russians. She sounds like a loose cannon.
WTF is Trump doing putting this idiot in an ambassadorship? Crimean citizens voted overwhelmingly to rejoin Russia. The US destabilized Ukraine. Maybe Trump thought it was an assador post.
And I was hoping with the election of Trump we were in for a more reasonable and diplomatic approach but sadly to say I only see more of the same from some new heads with talking points.
The wacko’s are still in control and are now broadening their Horizon to attack China Russia and Iran and of course everyone’s favourite North Korea so should be able to create a spark to get some real fireworks going soon. They need to read that book called “how to make friends and influence people”
Too bad governments are not in “make friends” business 🙂

She is of the Zionist policy, pro-Israeli lobby. The Greater Israel project is not a hoax, it is real and can only be accomplished when the Persian lands are under the Zionist heel. They desire no powerful opposition to stand in the way of Zionist Manifest Destiny. We were warned.
Mr. Trump gave us quite insight of his stance towards IsraHell, In the beginning as president-elect and shortly after the UN vote for a Palestinian state under Obongo’s regime also America voted a yes vote for Palestine.
Remember that The Donald right after this declared loudly full support for IsraHell?
This is The same Donald upon we all put so much believe and trust toward a bit of peace everywhere.
And now he put the next clown in the UN circus who has instructions to mean by her words nothing less than that Russia is the Aggressor in Syria and Ukraine.
We were so happy Samantha Power was finally gone, out! And now this.
I think the start is so stupid and naive. It will take from now on a long journey to get it returned.
The European and American public are being systematically lied to about the Ukraine crisis.Flash forward to 2014 and Ukraine had a new president, Victor Yanukovich who made the controversial decision to refuse E.U. membership for Ukraine in favor of closer ties with Russia
This woman seems to be following the Obama, McCain war mongering on the Ukraine. Did she not make a point to study what’s going on before opening her mouth and spouting weasel juice.. To find that the U.S under the Obama democrats and certain Rhino’s McCain and Rubio have supported Svoboda a neo-Nazi group we have put in their government. .U.S interference caught on a Nuland Telephone call and posted on line. We have enough problems with the UN without this. America has no right taking down sovereign government’s and putting in puppets. How did putting in Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood work out for Obama in Egypt. Obama took down our alliance with Egypt, and look at Libya, the U.S and shadow army NATO slaughtered Libyans with no mercy even cutting off their water supply.
