This is a reason to vote for Ted Cruz? Is it supposed to be “conservative” to think that the USA should be a lot more involved in stopping the Russians in Ukraine, when the Germans are doing nothing at all? I did not read of a single shot fired by a Ukrainian in defense of Crimea. Maybe there were shots fired but it never made any news I saw. So the “conservative” position is supposed to involve being more concerned about the defense of Crimea than the Ukrainians were / are? Similarly, we pay far more of our GDP on defense than does any other NATO member even though every one of them is far closer to Russia than we are. We even put more our GDP into defense than do Russia’s near neighbors the Baltics and Poland (which are great countries BTW!) - so once again Trump is correct that we are being asked to do more heavy lifting than the people with a far more immediate self-interest. NATO’s time has come and gone - but like any government program, it is very hard to shut down.

It’s Pro-Cruz in the sense that Cruz would be a continuation of Neocon Bush foreign policy.

Of course, don’t you get it? If Donald Trump doesn’t want to further bankrupt the country and send troops to die in social experiments cooked up in posh lounges by “conservative” Washington think-tanks, he obviously hates the troops and the military.
