Just let it go , peacefully .
Let those with fidelity towards Russia become part of Russia a
allow those with fidelity towards the Euro Union become part of the Euro Union . Set up a process for property and holdings swaps , for those leaving from one region to another so no one is dispossessed and allow this to happen peacefully over the next few years . No rush , no drama , no fighting .
WHEN YOU BASE YOUR FOREIGN POLICY on:
RESET
SOFT POWER
LEADING FROM THE REAR
ETC.
The world understands that America is finished.
No credibility
No Power
No trust
No backbone
No will
No trust
Putin on the other hand is there for his allies and is playing Chess to Obama’s checkers.
Pathetic.
Kerry: “All options are on the table”
The freaking moron doesn’t get it yet.
Russia got Crimea back, wiping out Krustchev’s mistake from 1954.
Crimea was NEVER ukrainian.
Including his resignation, and Zeros? is that on the table?
Obama may even resort to a sternly worded letter filled with ALL CAPS and multiple exclamation points!!!!!!!
The russians are in for it now!
Crimea was NEVER ukrainian.
It was “The Autonomous Republic of Crimea” with its own Parliment, Prime Minister, government and budget.
But if you speak Russian you get a free pass to Russian citizenship??
“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.
How was Crimea separated from Russia?
In 1954, a controversial decision of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, himself an ethnic Ukrainian, transferred the Crimea peninsula to the Ukrainian SSR, extracting it from Russian territory.
Following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev’s “gift” has been widely criticized by many Russians, including the majority of those living in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
In 1991, the people of Crimea took part in a referendum, which proclaimed the region an Autonomous Republic within the Soviet Union, with 93.26 percent of the voters supporting the move.
TODAY the ultimate goal of the ethnic Russian population in Crimea is to hold a referendum on whether the region should retain its current status as an autonomous region in Ukraine, to become independent, or become part of Russia again. In the meantime, they claim to have a right to disobey orders of the “illegal” government in Kiev.
This guy has got more wrinkles than my grandma.
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.
5. Take a vacation.
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.
