Kerry: “All options are on the table” in response to Russian invasion of Crimea

Hot Air ^ | March 2, 2014 | Ed Morrissey

[Hoosier-Daddy]

The very French, bloviating asshat, John Kerry.

He served in Vietnam Nam, did you know that?

We’re still trying to figure out for which side

[Mariner]

These people are not only incompetent, they're crazy.

Direct military action against Russia?

It would be laughable if it were not so dangerous.

That would CERTAINLY lead to nuclear war after the first substantial loss by either side.

[Ghost of SVR4]

Ooh, the milquetoasts are keeping “all options on the table”.

So scawey!

To me it is. If these idiots feel politically weak here at home, they may just make the wrong decisions to bolster their "image" and escalate this thing where it does not need to go. It was a democrat (and the UK) that talked the Ukraine into disarming of their nukes and now it is democrats (again) that will fuq things up even worse over politics and posturing. Yeah, I am a little worried.

[Mariner]

"And they're going to kill anyone who dares speak Russian in their presence. "

And that's why they will be relegated a small portion of the "Ukraine" with no access to the sea, no industry, no agriculture, no money...and no prospects.

[dfwgator]

And Poland will reclaim Lwow.

[Mariner]

"And Poland will reclaim Lwow."

After they seek, and RECEIVE Russian permission.

Certainly the Russians don't want that headache. Let the west maintain law and order there!

[autumnraine]

I don’t disagree.

[Little Bill]

There are fools, and then there are damned fools, and then there are DemocRATS.

[Fedupwithit]

I would bet that “Shelter in Place” is on the top of the list...knowing these pantywaists...

[Mariner]

Folks, these folks in power today in the USA are dangerous.

My only hope is that the JCS is, at least, willing to ignore such orders. Ideally they would remove them all from office and hang them.

But, I suppose that's all wishful thinking.

Can one hope for such an outcome without being charged for advocating it?

[adorno]

Crappola. Putin could invade Puerto Rico and Obama would do nothing.

Some people right here on FR would think that to be a good thing, as they believe that P.R. is just a burden on the U.S. So, they're rather have Russia take over the "burden".

[adorno]

“All options are on the table”.

That’s such a stupid phrase.

It’s meant to give cover to those that will otherwise leave all options on the table and do nothing at all; or, they’ll have all the options on the table, but, with a clear objective of doing only as they wish. It’s a statement that is intended to show compromise, while offering none at all.

All the options are not on the table, but, they are for media consumption and public relations only.

[CodeToad]

All options:

1. Hide and hope no one notices you are not there.
2. Talk tough and hope the situation is settled before every notices that you are a coward and will do nothing anyway.

[dfwgator]

Kerry makes Von Ribbentrop look competent in comparison.

[Luke21]

“walk loudly but carry a limp d*ck?”

Funny stuff.

[Impy]

And some people seem to reveling in it.

I enjoy mocking the SOB as well but I’m more concerned for the people of the Ukraine facing down Russian invasion.

RE :”I enjoy mocking the SOB as well but I’m more concerned for the people of the Ukraine facing down Russian invasion.”

Weooo, for a second I thought you posted ‘I love mocking SOL’

:)

[NFHale]

Yeah, I did a double take on that one as well! hahah!!!

[GOPsterinMA]

“I enjoy mocking the SOB as well but I’m more concerned for the people of the Ukraine facing down Russian invasion.”

Yep. The folks in that country have been kicked around by some of the most ruthless political movements ever. They deserve peace.

[NFHale]

"...most ruthless political movements ever. They deserve peace..."

Man, you got that right...

But to deserve peace, oftentimes, you have to fight for it, and I think this is that time for them.

They must think the whole world is against them right now, and that is a sh*tty way to feel.
