Barack Obama actually said...

"I don't think that there's any secret on that. And, you know, our approach as the United States is not to see these as some Cold War chess board in which we're in competition with Russia."

"We got a picture in from the White House. President Obama meeting with his top national security advisers in the situation room."

"There will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine."

"We are united in supporting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and its right to choose its own future."
