Comparing Trump and Clinton's careers is funny, ironic and sad

So basically what you’ve got is strong words from Clinton in the aftermath of Putin’s invasion of Crimea, followed by a second hand report by Boris Johnson consisting mainly of his own self-serving spin on the meeting.

Sorry, this is nothing. Even if the reports of what she said are accurate - both articles are unconfirmed private reports - they don’t mean what you say they do. The first one in particular is comparing specific actions of Putin to specific actions of Hitler, something BTW people right here in BB have been doing w/r to Trump this election cycle; when you write

What do you do with Hitler? You fight a war.

are you suggesting that @jlw and @beschizza plan to invade Trump Tower?

Seriously, if you have to stretch this far it makes your case look rather ridiculous.

ETA: By the way, here is what Clinton actually said at that fundraiser reported by the WaPa, the one where you think she hints she plans to wage war against Putin:

If Ukraine and Russia are to reach any kind of compromise, negotiations may start in Crimea, Clinton said.

“I think that’s where the negotiations will start,” she said.

Clinton, a possible Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, also noted that Secretary of State John Kerry is in Kiev while Russia has agreed to meet with NATO in Brussels.

“So everybody is hoping that there will be a negotiation but a negotiation that respects Ukraine and doesn’t ratify a reoccupation by Russia of Crimea,” she said. “So it’s a real nail-biter, right now, but nobody wants to up the rhetoric. Everybody wants to cool it in order to find a diplomatic solution and that’s what we should be trying to do.”

Yeah, “everybody wants to cool it in order to find a diplomatic solution” is real hawk-talk.
