MIC chief (aka US
President) Barack Obama 'The Baby Bomber' says he and leaders from other allied regimes in the Orwellian NWO Group
of Eight (G8) have decided to oust Russia from the group over the
crisis in Ukraine and the status of Crimea.
UK BANNED Press TV: The Autonomous Republic of Crimea declared independence from Ukraine on March 17 and formally applied to become part of Russia following a referendum a day earlier, in which nearly 97 percent of the participants voted in favor of the move.
On March 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law the documents officially making Crimea part of the Russian territory. Putin said the move was carried out based on the international law.
"International law prohibits the acquisition of part or all of another state's territory through coercion or force," the White House said in a statement on Monday. "To do so violates the principles upon which the international system is built. We condemn the illegal referendum held in Crimea in violation of Ukraine's constitution.”
"We also strongly condemn Russia's illegal attempt to annex Crimea in contravention of international law and specific international obligations," the statement added.
Earlier in the day, Russia brushed off the Western threat to expel it from the G8.
"G8 is an informal organization that does not give out any membership cards and, by its definition, cannot remove anyone," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during a news conference.
