Um...no!
He wants to go to war with Russia over Syria? Actually not even over Syria, over helping Assad stay in power. As far as I’m concerned we should be glad if he regains control because the alternative is more chaos.
Rubio is a fool on so many levels.
The last thing we need to do is set up a scenario that would make us look righteous by targeting the Russians. They are not stupid, and they will fight back.
It could be a lose, lose situation for all. Let’s say we do kick their behind side. Are they just going to put their tails between their legs and whimper off? I’d say they’d use the nuclear option.
Let’s say we get our rear ends handed to us in a basket. Just what would our dear leaders do? Probably whimper off and not rebuild our destroyed military assets? Or go nuclear?
Well, yes, we must, but Syria isn't the place and this isn't the time. Save it for when national survival is at stake.
Yeah! Lets start another world war. They have been so successful in the past. Moron!
Rubio getting all Obama-Macho!
Mario, it’s a little different declaring no-fly zones over peaceful countries ( acts of war, of course - but at least you might get away with them depending on circumstances?) — and trying to declare one where a major world power has its Air Force engaged in active bombing raids. Wouldnt work out well now, Mario. Not at all
Thanks for the note on Carly!
So Rubio wants us to go to war with Russia, with President Pushover as CIC? That should work.
It is becoming easier to separate the nuts from the rest of the crowd. Anyone who espouses shooting down aircraft in Syrian air space that, like it or not, have as much or more right (fighting for the established government) as ours have is certifiably nuts. Defending NATO airspace is a separate question and that’s Turkey’s prerogative.
Or possibly he's wearing Carly Fiorina's 'big girl skirt'. Hasn't he got anything original to put forth?

I thought I kept up with issues, but this no-fly concept has me puzzled. Who is it supposed to protect? Is it some kind of affirmative action to benefit ISIS, who has no planes? Is it supposed to keep out the Russians, Americans? Is it supposed to hinder Assad? We have had so much success in overthrowing the established rulers in that part of the world.
Shut the Hell up, you nitwit. (not you, Jimbo)
You go attack them, Sparky, you bellhop.
“Fiorina: ‘We must be prepared’ to use force on Russia”
Why all of a sudden use force on Russia, when if we had used force of ISIS it would have been tamped down considerably.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$............
I never thought Rubio was a neocon, guess I was wrong..
What’s the goal Marco? Eliminate ISIS? Or Assad?
It’s easier to make neocon the default position for any candidate until they say or do something that indicates they aren’t.
Most of them just regurgitate whatever their big donors want them to say.
