Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Friday the United States should establish no-fly zones and sanctuaries along Syria's border with Jordan and Turkey, and warn aggressors, specifically Russian President Vladimir Putin, that they violate those buffers at their own risk.
Campaigning in New Hampshire, the Republican presidential hopeful said the U.S. must send a message that military retaliation is a guarantee, not an idle threat, if conditions are not met.
"You enter that no-fly zone, you enter at your own peril," Kasich said. "No more red lines, no more looking the other way. If any hostile aircraft should enter that, there will be a great consequence to them."

And should Islamic State extremists attempt to enter the sanctuaries, Kasich said, the U.S. and regional partners, including Saudi Arabia, should be ready for ground combat to repel them.

A “no fly zone”......?????.....FOR WHAT INSANE PURPOSE???
Good grief, the whole lot of them are insane. Just what happens when Russia fires back? Letting Americans die for Muslims? What has a Muslim ever done for us that was good?
In the dymanics of it all, I'm wondering if OH voters being fed up with Kasich will cost Senator Portman re-election.
We should be telling the “Free Syrian Army” (assuming the darn thing actually exists and isn’t just a scam to funnel US money and weapons to ISIS) to suck up to Assad and the Sov, er, Russians, and WELCOMING the Russkis into Syria.
At least they won’t give a darn about stupid RoEs that protect ISIS and they’ll shoot any NGO types that provide them support. With a little Russian style ruthlessness we might finally get this crap cleared up.
Another “invade the world invite the world “ nutcase.
Let’s give Kasich a rifle and send him.
He sounds like the insane war hawks, Juan McCainiac, Carly FioRino , Hilliary and ???!
If Kasich woofed at me Man to Man I would laugh at him...
If he pressed me I would show him why
Tough Guy, he looks like he does not even have to shave...
Girly Man

The more I hear from Johnny boy, the more he disgusts me.
Yes. The RINOs seem to be a real chickenhawk bunch, don’t they?
A no fly zone......?????.....FOR WHAT INSANE PURPOSE???
Agree. He sounds like Obama who protected ISIS and let hundreds of thousands of Christians be slaughtered.
I am okay if the Russians want to remove the ISIS from the face of the planet.
The Saudi/McCain candidates show their hand today.
I am not so sure that Putin and Zer0 are not on the side. Removal of the missiles in Eastern Europe. Working against Netanyahu from be beginning. Supporting the Muslim Brotherhood ousting a friendly, stable government in Egypt. No retaliation on the “red line” drawn in Syria. Barely a whimper from Zer0 when Putin took Crimea. Working with Putin’s buddies in Iran to reach a nuclear deal clearly NOT in our national security interest. He has been steadily degrading our military and its readiness. No real effort to thwart ISIS. You know, he has more “flexibility” during his second term.
I am sorry, the totality of what Obama has done in foreign policy and defense clearly spells treason!!
Have all the candidates started snorting cocaine?
Viagra more like it. Carly included.
What’s wrong with him? I agree it’s insane and not something that will gain him support among voters.
John Kasich will not even stand up to the unions in Ohio by supporting Right to Work! How the hell is HE going to stand up to the Russians?
