Russians Mock This Line From Obama's U.N. Speech
The Internet in Russia blew up over Obama's position on Russia's isolation

“…we continue to press for this crisis to be resolved in a way that allows a sovereign and democratic Ukraine to determine its future and control its territory. Not because we want to isolate Russia — we don’t — but because we want a strong Russia that’s invested in working with us to strengthen the international system as a whole,” Obama said.
Yeah, right, said Russians, arguing that sanctions against the Kremlin and many of President Vladimir Putin’s business associates have crippled the Russian economy.
