   Hey Obama!  Putin doesn't like fags.  Like you.   
      
   WASHINGTON--President Barack Obama on Friday warned Russia   
   against conducting a military intervention in Ukraine.   
      
   "We are now deeply concerned about reports of military movements   
   taken by the Russian federation inside of Ukraine," Mr. Obama   
   said from the White House.   
      
   "The U.S. will stand with the international community in   
   affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention   
   in Ukraine," he added, without detailing what actions the U.S.   
   and international community would take.   
      
   The president's statement came amid a day of heightened tension   
   in Ukraine, after heavily armed gunmen surrounded two airports   
   in the restive pro-Russian region of Crimea, which prompted   
   outcries from authorities in the region that Russia was behind   
   the invasion.   
      
   Mr. Obama said the U.S. will continue to work with the   
   international community--and Russia--in what he called a fluid   
   situation.   
      
   But, he said, any meddling by Russia would be condemned and drew   
   a contrast with its recent hosting of the Olympic Games. "And   
   just days after the world came to Russia for the Olympic Games--   
   it would invite the condemnation of nations around the world,"   
   he said.   
      
   U.S. officials said earlier in the day they were trying to   
   determine who was behind the unrest in Crimea.   
      
   Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking Friday to his Russian   
   counterpart for the second time in two days, said Moscow has   
   pledged to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity, but that   
   developments heightened the risk of a provocation.   
      
   Neither Mr. Kerry nor the White House said what the U.S. would   
   do in response.   
      
   "The question is whether or not what is happening now might be   
   crossing a line in any way, and we're going to be very careful   
   in making our judgments about that," Mr. Kerry said.
