What could the War Minister of the territory once known as “the United States of America” possibly offer as advice to anyone in a country edging ever closer to all-out civil war? How to bungle it up?

Other nations’ leaders have becoming conditions to assume any phone call coming from this administration will pertain to their stance on “gay rights.”

The Ukrainian army is staying out of the mess. Not sure why Hagel would want to talk to the defense minister.

I prefer the term TRAITORS.
It’s more accurate and fitting.
