This is something Secretary of State John Kerry actually said. It is not from The Onion:
“You just don’t in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pretext.”
He was criticizing Russia’s incursions into Crimea and Ukraine. But the condemnation apparently did not strike him as hypocritical.
Micah Zenko, of the Council on Foreign Relations, noted the hypocrisy on Twitter:
US politicians and pundits newfound commitment to state sovereignty and non-interference in other country's affairs is admirable.
