Ron Johnson Puts Out A Call To Arms on Conflict with Russia: "Send in a Military Mission" with "C-130s"

In a recent interview with conservative talkshow host Charlie Sykes, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) criticized President Obama's lack of action in dealing with Russia's recent annexation of Crimea and offered up his own solution:

How about we send in a military mission? We all agree that the Ukrainian military is hollowed-out, why don't we send military advisors-- not boots on the ground-- not combat boots-- le't assess what the Ukrainian military needs short term as well long term. That will send a pretty strong signal. Why don't we send those MREs in, why don't we fly those in with C-130s and get an American aircraft on the ground to show Vladimir Putin that we are going to, finally, stand our ground and we are going to stand-up for other freedom seeking people.

Earlier in the interview, Senator Johson also criticized President Obama for refusing a request from the Ukrainian Prime Minister for firearms.

He needs to either volunteer to go in the first wave or STFU.

12. Your advice is exactly what my father used to say

back in the 1950's. Both of you are correct.

2. Sure, let's escalate tensions. What could possibly go wrong?

The GOP would love it if Obama got us into a war. Not only could the MIC make money, the Republicans could criticize the Democrats for starting a war, and then criticize every move Obama made in the execution of the war. It would be a win/win!

3. Johnson really is one proud simpleton, isn't he?

He's got my vote for dumbest senator.

The only other person dumber than he is in Congress is ol' Louie G.

"A dead military advisor smells just as bad after 3 days in the sun as a real corpse in a real war."
