Another one of the insignificant GOP insects tries stinging the Democrats and fails. The GOP is SO irrelevant to anything important going on in the world today.
they have become so deluded from so much disinformation it is truly frightening. almost like some kind of scifi thing. pod peeople united. i do disagree on one thing. standing in the way of addressing climate change and global warming is not irrelevant. it is criminally stupid and dangerous to this planet.
Republican presidential candidate New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie argued
Sunday that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton got the
United States āinto the WWII situationā with President Obama
ā¦
Chris Christie: Clinton Got Us āInto The WWIII Situationā With Obama
ā¦
Ummm ā¦ WW2 or WW3 ā¦ which is it? If Christie is saying WW2 then heās way off cuz the Japanese and Germans are now allies.
Likely WW3 will be a bit different. Betācha.
This over-hyped blow hard has no accomplishments to his credit as governor and his biggest appeal to the American people is eagerly starting WWIII with Russia. Christie would sell out our country to Russia if they gave him a big enough check. Has anyone asked Christie to detail how HRC āgot us into the World War III situation with Barack Obamaā
We have to stop talking about how we are in WWIII. A number of the Republican candidates have discussed committing ground troops to fight ISIS and two have suggested or implied that they would use nuclear weapons. If we generally accept that we are in a global world war, then the bar for greater military involvement, including nukes, is lowered. This is dangerous and will lead us into a place we do not want to be. We cannot defeat ISIS with military strength alone. We can degrade their ability to capture land we do not own and have little real interest in, but we have to defeat them ideologically if we want to āmake America safe.ā We do not do that by killing even more innocent civilians or starting a holey war against the worldās Muslims.
Deflection, as usual from an establishment GOPāer. He knows that ISIS is around because his old friend W took out Saddam and didnāt plan for what would happen in his absence.
Right wing rule #1 - Blame others for the mess you made.
I donāt know what youāre talking about, AntiSachet: America was at total peace with the world when weak-kneed warmonger Obama took office. As Bob Dole once said, Democrats are the ones who always get us into wars (one of his examples was that FDR got us into WWII ā¦ seriously ā¦ it was!).
so says the man who blusters that he will shoot down russian planes that dare to overfly syriaā¦ heās just trumping (so to speak) clinton by threatening to destroy the fucking planet ā or certainly both countries. because any such confrontation will escalate to nuclear attacks.
itās horrifying watching this language become normalized talking points.
What strategy has Sec. Clinton proposed in dealing with ISIS? For that matter what strategy has Christie proposed? Heās a governor. He does not get the briefings the Sec. If State or President get and he does not have a Joint Chiefs to council either. So what would Christie actually know in so far as dealing with ISIS is concerned?
No President is going to set policy or strategy in dealing with ISIS. Obama doesnāt do it now and Christie would not do it if elected. That is a theater level military operation and career Military pros ( General Officers ) are the folks that do that. If any POTUS tried to micromanage or direct a fight like that heās have a pile of 3 and 4 star resignations on his desk.
Christie has no military experience. He has almost no exposure to the world outside of NJ. And heās not in possession of the knowledge a man must have to talk competently about ISIS. But heās a blowhard enough to try. We tried a President like that. Thatās how we got ISIS.
I remain ever intrigued by individuals who are happy talking about war, or world war, when at the time their beloved country was in need of their service, they were somehow too busy to, you know, serve. But they are experts, arenāt they?
My experience has been that those who served really donāt care to talk about their experiences, or to get into discussions that eventually lead to how war will sort āthisā out, whatever āthisā might be.
The reality for these folks is: they have no idea how awful war is on almost every level. Pathetic poseurs one and all.
Full disclosure: my grandfather served with Black Jack Pershing in WWI, my father rode destroyers in WWII hunting German submarines in the Atlantic (and helped sink 2), and I served in the Navy '68 - ā 88 (by then we were friends with the Germans, but not the North Vietnamese).
Q: Youāre getting better numbers in some polls than several candida-
A: Iām the most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far. Nobodyās ever been more successful than me. Iām the most successful person ever to run. Ross Perot isnāt successful like me. Romney ā I have a Gucci store thatās worth more than Romney.
Q: Specifically, what would you do to address the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria? A: I have an absolute way of defeating ISIS, and it would be decisive and quick and it would be very beautiful. Very surgical.
Q: Military on the ground? Drone strikes? A: If I tell you right now, everyone else is going to say: āWow, what a great idea.ā Youāre going to have 10 candidates going to use it and theyāre going to forget where it came from. Which is me.
Q: Do you have advisors on issues like this?
A: With very successful people, we sort of have our own ideas. A lot of people hire consultants. Well, if the consultantās so smart, why arenāt they rich?
A third of Republicans polled ***LOVE*** this blowhard asshole. We're doomed.
P.S.-Wouldn't keeping a quick, foolproof plan for defeating ISIS secret from the nation's military, for the express purpose of maintaining an electoral advantage over your primary opponents, constitute treason?
Lew Looking at Governor Christie I had thought he suffered from food issues, apparently the reality is too much bullshit stuffed into too small a body. Ah well, live and learn.
