“Kerry: “All options are on the table” in response to Russian invasion of Crimea”
I think Kerry really means “All options are on the table” for lunch.
No one takes Kerry or hussein seriously.
What options?
Will John Kerry con a river patrol boat up the Dnieper River? An event that will forever seared into his memory?
Face it, we don’t have any cards to work with - military, political, or economic.
BTW - do we have any fans of the late Thomas Leo “Tom” Clancy (1947 - 2013) around? If so, what do you think about the events in his last FICTIONAL novel “Command Authority” (2013) and the events unfolding in modern day Ukraine? I don’t know where he go his crystal ball but I want one! And this is not his first fictional work that has predicted actual world events before they happened.
We don't have options, unless it's between one asinine public statement or another. And if you think the country is going to rally behind a gay activist and a traitorous phony war hero and march off smartly into battle, think again.

There is nothing military we should do in retaliation. It’s not worth going to war. Putin wants the oil spigots, the same as he wanted those in Abkhasia and South Ossetia. However, we should be sending European forces to border countries for “drill.” Get those missile defense bases installed (you know, the ones Obama cancelled) in Poland and Czech Republic.
Obama won’t do anything more than a beer summit and Europe will do even less.
There are no viable options. There is nothing on the table.
Mindless jargon and endless balderdash is all that Kerry can provide.
The level of incompetency being exhibited by the RAT party through it’s currant administration far beyond the suspension of belief and penetrates deeply into the realms of willful ignorance.
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
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.
I would bet that “Shelter in Place” is on the top of the list...knowing these pantywaists...
“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.
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.
Putting all the options on the table when it’s time to ACT is ineptitude.
For all the $billions we spend on the State Department, “options” should be nothing more than pulling out the file stating how to proceed in exactly this scenario.
Putin already claimed Crimea with a flag on parliament.
Obama is still trying to figure out what cards he has to work with.
Hard to play when it’s over already.

Saying “all options are on the table” damages U.S. military credibility because everyone knows we won’t be using our military here. This only waters down the phrase “all options are on the table” for when we need to use it next time.
