Dem Sen. Blumenthal Accuses Putin of “Act of War”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/16/2018 4:53:23 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

For a guy who lied about his military service, Richard Blumenthal is sounding mighty bellicose this morning.

Appearing on Morning Joe today, the Dem senator from Connecticut said:

“We are facing a continuing act of war by Vladimir Putin. He has tried to divide us, cause disarray, and he will stop at nothing to destroy these Western democracies.”

As a combat veteran of Vietnam, Blumenthal knows war.

Senators, in general, are long on rhetoric and short on action. Democrat senators even more so. They are as useless as teats on a boar hog.

Why are you insulting Blumenthal? He and Brian Williams were the first ones to land on the moon. You should give him a little credit for that.

Let me get this straight ...

We face "a continuing act of war from Russia," and yet we've been sending NASA crews to the International Space Station on Russian rockets since 2011?

And on most of those NASA missions, U.S. military personnel have been reporting to RUSSIAN mission commanders.

Blumenthal is a really good banjo player. I saw him play in a Burt Reynolds movie when he was younger.

Um, dick, it’s not Putin dividing our country. It’s the left, of all persuasions, that are dividing this country. Pure deflection on his part and Joe “dead intern” Scarborough just goes along with it.

Then again, the left always has to have a boogie man. Not realizing that the American people KNOW that the left IS the boogie man

OK, say it was an act of war. Russia cannot hope to compete with us on any measure save one, they have as many nukes as we do. So what is Trump doing in Finland now? He is talking publicly about nukes while insisting on having a conversation in private, which is the only way to admonish a man that is so invested in “mine is bigger than yours” without having to go to war.

“Tries to divide us...”

Sounds like the Rat Party to me.

I thought it was Mars they landed on, where they planted the flag that Sheila Jackson Lee is so proud of.

Well, when all this perpetratin’ was goin’ on, the administration in power took powerful steps to stop it, like telling Putin to ‘cut it out’, and ordering concerned agencies to ‘stand down’ rather than investigate.

Now it’s a big deal.

Ho, hum...

Blumenthal is a mental midget who is always in over his head.

Who thought we would see the day when the communist in Russia were too conservative for Democrats?

I am beginning to think that the communist in Venezuela are too conservative to the new Socialist Democrats.
