They're serious.
It would be humorous if it wasn't so serious.
I’ve come to one conclusion over this whole mess including the nitwit in the white house. When this is all done and he is out of office and the mid east becomes a problem for us, I am going to tell our representatives who have done not a thing to reign in this clown: “don’t call me or my family. Grab a rifle, find transport and you drop into whatever hole you are talking about now that you allowed for this to happen and begin shooting. Neither I nor anyone in my family is going to go this time. You allowed it, you own it. Over and out.”
