The fruits of planned irrelevance.Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters Friday that Mr. Hagel has been trying to communicate with Russian officials but has yet to hear back from Mr. Shoigu or anyone else. Pentagon officials have reached out to Russia on Mr. Hagel’s behalf within the past 24 hours, according to Col. Warren.“We have made it clear to the Russians that Secretary Hagel is available for a phone call at any time,” he said. “We have reached out to them and made it very to them that he is willing to speak to his counterpart there at any time.”

Do you really think Hegel, Obama or billions worldwide care? It's Russia and its atavism that is irelevent
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ. Hagel would very much like to talk to Shoigu, because this situation has reached the emergency level. There is the real possibility that Russia has designs on the Baltic states, and perhaps territory even further west. Russia has a spy ship just outside US territorial waters not too far from the state where you currently reside.
ReplyDeleteAs if they are foolish enough to attack us, yawn. Their loss if they won't talk. We are going to cripple them economically without firing a shot.
ReplyDeleteAnd since when do you want us to talk to the enemy? Oh, probably only when the enemy is an enemy of Israel.
ReplyDeleteWell, I spose this is just another indication of how late in the day it is for your ilk.
ReplyDelete"There is little American political will for strong U.S. intervention in Ukraine, a new poll finds. While a majority, 55 percent, say the situation in Ukraine is key to U.S. national interests, 50 percent of Americans don’t think the U.S. should “draw a hard line against Russia in Ukraine because it could mean losing Russia’s cooperation on other issues like Iran and Syria,” according to a McClatchy-Marist poll. Roughly half favor a diplomatic and economic approach, but almost as many 43 percent think the U.S. should not get involved at all. Just seven percent support considering military options."

And Russia has been so helpful on matters such as Iran and Syria.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should ask them who they prefer to deal with from our side. Who would you choose in your paradise lost to shut Russia down and leave the whole world in awe of yheir statemanship or their ferocity? Truth is, it really ain't our fight.
