The Russians don't want to hear from Hagel? I can't imagine why....

Meanwhile, CNBC was calling for Obama to come up with a "Military Option" for this situation. Are they nuts????

If you want respect, you got to earn it.

All over again.

Because the previous Administrations of the US Federal Government once had this respect, and it was acknowledged all over the world.

But the Current Regime has drizzled it completely away, all in the name of wanting to be “loved”.

So they have ended up neither loved nor respected.

Military options are perfectly fine for liberals. They only don’t work when conservatives use them.

Liberals love a great war...as long as they entered us into it.

What?

Do they know what the Russian force doctrine is? Is the Crimea worth a nuke on New York?

What is Hagel going to do?

Invade Russia? I can’t see why on earth Russia has to pick the phone when he calls.

The Americans should restrain the Maidan regime. But I can imagine Shoigu doesn’t want to hear a lecture from Hagel about Russia not living up to its commitments.

I wouldn’t take Hagel’s calls either.

He’s a loser.

If Russia invades, what is the US under this bunch gonna do? Seriously?

It’s always funny when Peaceniks and anti-war activists try to talk tough.

Sounds as if the US under this cockamamie Administration has amateurishly wandered right up to the brink of war.

My hope is that FR folks use judicious and wise use of their words on FR, at least until we are past what appears to be coming.

Hagel will have to go out in front of the cameras like Rodney Dangerfield used to do and say “I don’t get no respect, no respect....”

Seriously, the whole strategy right now is containment.

The Ukrainians being advised by guys like Hagel are limiting their military action to avoid a massive Russian response.

The Ukrainian operations are right out of the Robert McNamara playbook, the Donald Rumsfeld playbook.

The Russians are being held back like the Communists in Vietnam were 50 years ago and the Taliban and Al Quaeda were in Afghanistan in the W Bush era. There was no desire for a “wider war” with nuke countries like the Soviets and or Pakistan.

George Patton and Douglas MacArthur aren’t in charge of the situation, here.

I tend to think we should stay out of this situation since it would only humiliate this country to be a loser if we get in.

I don’t think that, “Don’t you know who I am?”, is going to work for Hagel in this situation.

“We have made it clear to the Russians that Secretary Hagel is available for a phone call at any time,”

Pathetic,,

No problem, Hagle can use the social media like our stateless department to contact Sergei Shoigu and Putie. Then, warn them of a severe HashTag if they don’t respond.

State Department: Twitter, “Promise of Hashtag” Can Stop Russia from Invading Ukraine
Pundit Press ^ | 4/26/14 | Aurelius

Posted by therightliveswithus

In what might be the worst sign of weakness yet from the Obama Administration and its followers concerning the crisis in Ukraine, on Thursday the State Department put forward the idea that “hashtags” on Twitter could prevent Russia from invading Ukraine.

“The world stands #UnitedforUkraine,” began Jennifer Psaki, the current spokeswoman for the State Department. She continued, “Let’s hope that the #Kremlin & @mfa_russia will live by the promise of hashtag.”

Why won't they take our calls? One word:

FLEXIBILITY

When Vlad heard that word he *knew* he was dealing with a weakling.And still not a *word* of apology to either Governor Palin *or* Governor Romney for having clearly told Osama Obama what Vlad was all about.

Hey,Obama...it's the 1930's on the phone...they want their policy of weakness and appeasement back.
