Typifying the utterly ineffectual foreign policy that has been endemic for the entirety of the Obama administration, Ukrainian Defense Minister Pavel Lebedev rebuffed U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, refusing to take even one of the phone calls Hagel made to him.
Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby admitted on Thursday, "Secretary Hagel has been trying, himself, since early this week," adding that Lebedev refuses "to communicate, to accept a phone call" from either Hagel or the Pentagon.

Instead of making the world love us, Zippy has made them hate us and worse; hold us in utter contempt. These SOBs need to fear us.

Why would anyone endure an assaholic lecture as to how he should show restraint and remove security forces from the area when the minority protesters are occupying government offices, destroying the heart of the city, and killing attacking the police with Molotov cocktails?
They have no time to talk to an idiot who will contribute nothing beyond advocating for the rioters.

Looking at it from the Ukrainian Defense Minister's point of view, what good would come from talking to Hagel? All the Minister would get is mushy, preachy “advice” and perhaps a few empty threats.
I doubt if General Meade would have cared to talk to, say, a British official while the Battle of Gettysburg was unfolding.

Given the CW-II appears to be much closer than thought (FCC ruling on news commissars) I truly hope that our military itself will not answer calls from SecDef when the time comes.

Was this to be a public phone cal or a private recorded one?
Seriously, who would trust the USA anymore? and why should they?
Maybe Hagel should try tweeting.

I have decided to reset the Obama administration's reset button.
To: Nachum
For what purpose? To get a scolding or bunch of PR slogans from the US Sec. of Defense?
