Some Republican please tell me what, specifically, they would do any differently than Obama re Ukraine/Russia crisis. Specifically.

Oh, I dunno. I might specifically attend my National Security team’s briefing re Ukraine/Russia crisis. Maybe even skip golf or fundraising or jogging around the White House with Pluggy Joe in order to specifically make time for that. But then again, I’m just a simple Republican hatemonger, so what do I know?

I SPECIFICALLY would formulate a coherent foreign policy for my country. I SPECIFICALLY wouldn’t shoot off my mouth about red lines about which I weren’t serious. I SPECIFICALLY wouldn’t create an aura of weakness of commitment to my stated intentions. I SPECIFICALLY would not establish a pattern of abandoning allies and treaty partners. I SPECIFICALLY would not create an environment in which my country’s resolve were not only questioned, but disregarded as irrelevant.
I SPECIFICALLY would not have fostered a climate where an incursion such as that occurring in Ukraine could occur without swift consequence.
That’s what I would SPECIFICALLY do.
Can’t I just eat my waffle?
The funnest part was when the reporter asked Kerry about Russia saying they didn’t have troops in Ukraine and Kerry was surprised.
I guess briefings are so passe for those who know too much to learn anything.
I would not be playing marbles against a man playing chess. This has been the most
accurate quote I have read about this crisis. Obama is so far over his head, that he
makes Jimmy Carter look competent!
Honestly, this would be the right time for The President to go play golf.
Nothing he can do, so he should just quietly do nothing.
Exactly, what he could have done was not be such a feckless idiot for the last 5 years.
