saying that those within the ukrainian government feel abandoned, but what are the option options at this point, michael? well, it would be an option to send arms to the ukrainians, but it is not a likely scenario, because the obama administration wanted to stays a wway from the military conflict, and shooting war and american involvement in confrontation, and the issues are economic. we have applied light and targeted sanctions on moscow, and the people around putin, at this point, and we could substantially escalate them, and you would start to talk about economic sectors like energy, mining, banking. potentially do harm to a russian e con mae is pretty wobbly right now, and the problem is blow back. damage to american businesses and economic interests, and more so european ones, and we would have to get the europeans on board, and so it is a test of will to get the firm sanctions
starting to reemerge in the republican party today. paul rejected the finding of the agency. and made other false assertions about iran nuclear program. this and the general tenor of debate on iran. this is a president that the drone is brought down and he says pretty please? foreign policy based on pretty please? we should be fighting a missile a strike against their facilities and say if you do not open up the facilities and not close them down we will close them down for you. it struck some analysts as dangerous in its own right. if you are going to be president you need to be extremely cautious about talking about military option options. whenever anyone who is senior in the united states does not stick to the facts is not exceptionally careful about what they say, they discredit america s effort to really bring it in to iran s program.
folks. what do you do besides calling the airline, listening to a television and radio to find out if your flight might be among the many that have been canceled but then you are put on hold for upwards of an hour. what are your option options. the first thing is departure boards don t tell the truth. they reflect what s scheduled to leave on time. the real key here is where your aircraft is. it has nothing to do with weather where you are but weather where your airplane that s coming to get you. if you don t have that understanding, you ll never leave the airport and might as well never leave home. i have a flight tomorrow to the northeast. i already called today to find out are those flights scheduled to be canceled tomorrow. i had to wait an hour and 20 minutes in order to get an answer. it depends on whether you will get a refund or whether you can try to schedule for another flight. peter, what s your best advice on how people try to plan ahead?
extremists who are also targeting bashar al assad s regime from hijacking the aid, the chances are uncomfortably high that those anti-aircraft missile also one day be turned against american or western targets. syria is a big reason our allies do not trust us and our adversaries do not fear us. the president violated lyndon johnson s maxim that you shouldn t tell a man to go to hell unless you re prepared to send him there. while there are no good option options to syria, in the days ahead as the president listens to his closest advisers, you have to do something, he will decide what the least bad option is. in response to every report that the white house is reconsidering, the response is something, hey, this is not extraordinary. it s something the president is always doing. translation, they want a nothing to see here response, so don t get caught up in a new drumbeat for military action.
