Earlier today, Secretary of State John Kerry warned Russia that intervening in Ukraine would be “a very grave mistake.” This afternoon, fellow clown Jay Carney doubled down on the paper tiger diplomacy:
Carney says US watching closely to see if Russia crosses "intervention line" in Ukraine.
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) February 28, 2014
So what does that mean, exactly?
What would constitute Russian "intervention" in Ukraine? Carney declines to "speculate" or "frame" the meaning of the term.

@markknoller At what point do we cross the thin red line? What about the interjection line? The interpolation line?

Look, let's call it what it is: the US is now "closely monitoring" the Russian annexation of Crimea.
