Clinton Calls For Tougher Response To Russia On Ukraine, Syria
WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state who is now a leading contender to be the next president, has called for a stronger response to Russia's actions in Ukraine and Syria, saying Moscow's objectives were "to stymie, to confront, and to undermine American power whenever and wherever."

In thinly veiled criticism of President Barack Obama's administration and its current approach to Russia, Clinton said that Washington should be doing more in response to Russia's interference in Ukraine.

"I have been, I remain convinced that we need a concerted effort to really up the costs on Russia and in particular on Putin. I think we have not done enough," she said following a speech on September 9 at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.

"I am in the category of people who wanted us to do more in response to the annexation of Crimea and the continuing destabilization of Ukraine."

Any moment, of any day, could be the moment that the Russians and their slave troops moved.

This is an outrageous delay .... what a pansy, a lightweight, an
amateurish wannabe war-monger... not the real deal.

He could use a few lessons from Hillary or Kissinger on perfecting
that "fine art".

...for any purpose whatsoever is automatically disqualified to hold any public office. Nukes are more horrible than most of us can even imagine. The ultimate weapon of mass destruction. Just joking about their use shows an incredibly disgusting lack of judgment and character. Even this long since the bad ole days, you simply don't go there, ever.
