Greg Gutfeld Wants The U.S. To Invade Ukraine To Get The MH17 Black Boxes

Greg Gutfeld seems never to have spent a day in his life either in the military or involved in military affairs. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know better than our Commander-in-Chief that it’s time to put our troops in harm's way in Ukraine. Why? To retrieve the black box on behalf of the one (dual) American citizen who was killed in the crash.

Gutfeld may have been busy plotting military strategy but he still found time for humor – at Obama’s expense: “In certain crises, Obama’s more MIA than Casey Kasem,” Gutfeld quipped.

Well, maybe you had to be there – although I was and I still found it profoundly unfunny.

Nevertheless, Gutfeld seemed to be deadly serious about his plan to invade for forensics’ sake:

GUTFELD: I don’t know why we were asking Russia for help in this. …What they’re doing is they’re violating a law. This is a crime scene that involves no Russians, as far as I can tell. So this is about other countries finding about their loved one and finding out what happened.

The other thing is, saying that there are no military options is a really stupid thing to say. Because there is a military option. It doesn’t mean war, it means troops. It means sending troops to certain countries nearby which would tick off Putin.

Armchair General Gutfeld’s military strategy didn’t end in Ukraine.

GUTFELD: And also, a military option is building up our military. We’re drawing down right now. Maybe it’s time to build back up because the world is a dangerous place. It’s an ugly place and if we’re not here to help fix the problem, then we are part of the problem. You can’t maintain freedom unless you make some ugly, tough choices.

Of course, what Gutfeld really meant is that other people should take the ugly, tough actions he chooses for them so that he can talk tough on TV without ever having to put his fanny where his mouth is.

The conversation went on. “Punchy” Andrea Tantaros predictably blamed Obama for the attack. Next came Bob Beckel.

BECKEL: Nobody in their right mind would consider military action in the Crimea. …This is the worst thing that could happen to Putin. What it’s gonna do is, it is going to galvanize the international community and I think he’s sitting back there saying “I blew it.” And, by the way, who’s going to go get the black boxes? We going to invade to get the black boxes?

GUTFELD (with enthusiasm): Yes! Absolutely! …We already have people nearby. We should be going in there and getting that.

I'd like to think that was another of Gutfeld's jokes. But I don't think it was.

Gutless can take Ruthless Rupy’s private jet to the Ukraine and retrieve the black box himself. He should put his money where his month is.

@anne-Claire Souza, we are also the main victim in this tragedy.

These people are leaving plenty of evidence of the slime that they are that will be judged in the not-too-distant future much the same as Joe McCarthy videos are today.

@peter King I second your comment since the Netherlands is my country also.

NOW he wants the US to be a global citizen? But not when child refugees from violence are at his doorstep, I’ll bet….

Regarding the title of this thread:

Hey Greg Gutfeld: HOW ABOUT YOU SHOWING US THE WAY BY SENDING YOUR MILITARY AGED LOVED ONES TO UKRAINE FIRST? It’s WAY past the time for PFCs (Privileged Fascist Chickenhawks) like you to PUT UP OR SHUT THE F**K UP!!

What a moron, if there is any country that deserves the black box then it would be my country, the Netherlands.

@ Erich Pomfret Good for you Erich. Obviously, like all Faux Spews viewers, this woman you described was SEVERELY LACKING in critical thinking skills. Generally speaking, people who do not possess or are severely lacking in critical thinking skills have been trained from childhood to BELIEVE AND OBEY people in authority positions — not to THINK FOR THEMSELVES AND ASK QUESTIONS.

Chickenhawk Gutfart squealed: It doesn’t mean war, it means troops. It means sending troops to certain countries nearby which would tick off Putin.

Note to Gutfart: That’s how wars generally start.

I dated a woman once. Seemed to be going well until she had me over for dinner and turned the TV on to Fox. When The Five came on, she turned up the sound, saying she never missed it. I’d never watched it before and never saw her again.

Disgusting little worm. Yet another unprincipled cretin not talented enough to make it in the real world so he goes for the mess of potage and sells his soul to Monster Ailes.

So-called ‘liberal’ (or, as I call them, ‘human’) comedians have to battle it out against thousands of other talented individuals – think Maher, Stewart, Colbert, Letterman. But call yourself a conservative comedian and you are guaranteed audience. Old, stupid and chronically bigoted they may be, but jeez, don’t the Fox faithful keep the Gutfelds and Millers in a style they don’t deserve.

@ Joe Marsh: from your NYT link:

Mr. McCain said that Mr. Obama is running a “cowardly administration that failed to give the Ukrainians weapons with which to defend themselves.”

Right. Obviously the best way to resolve a situation in which there are far too many weapons is to insert more weapons into the mix.

Hey — that’s what our own NRA has always been in favor of . . .

Macabre humor, given that Kasem remains missing in death as he was in life.

Gutfeld is showing his complete ignorance as the black boxes will contribute little or nothing to the investigation as the plane was hit by a surface-to-air missile. No systems failed on the plane, and the pilots surely never knew what hit them, so what could they have said before dying?

Anyway, (not to disappoint my fans), here’s a good piece that mentions Slanthead:

Just because Gutfeld never served a day in his life doesn't mean he can't plot military strategy on Fox News.
