Republicans see Obama as more imminent threat than Putin: Reuters
Reuters ^ | 3/20/15

- A third of Republicans believe President Barack Obama poses an imminent threat to the United States, outranking concerns about Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

A Reuters/Ipsos online poll this month asked 2,809 Americans to rate how much of a threat a list of countries, organizations and individuals posed to the United States on a scale of 1 to 5, with one being no threat and 5 being an imminent threat.

The poll showed 34 percent of Republicans ranked Obama as an imminent threat, ahead of Putin (25 percent), who has been accused of aggression in the Ukraine, and Assad (23 percent). Western governments have alleged that Assad used chlorine gas and barrel bombs on his own citizens

A muscular showing against the Russians with BO as CIC is a recipe for disaster. He follows the reverse Teddy Roosevelt policy, speak loudly and carry a wet noodle.

Neville Chamberlain achieved better results against Adolph Hitler and then had the decency to resign when it became clear he couldn't lead. BO has no such decency.

Exactly. ObaMao is less of a threat than the dumbed down electorate and their enemedia cheerleaders who put him in office twice. There are plenty more lined up to take his place who would be at least equally bad, if not worse. Need I list them all?

I imagine that Putin's army runs drills to round up American citizens in the middle of the night. I know that Obama's military runs drills to round up American citizens in the middle of the night. Thus Obama is the more immediate threat.

I prefer walker to Cruz but if Cruz gets the nomination I will vote for him.

I’d bet that you would not vote for Walker if he gets the nomination.

So you are for a weak reaction to Putin.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry

capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency.

It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama

presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and

good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man

for their president. The problem is much deeper and far

more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what

ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind

anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their

prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is

less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those

who made him their president.”

Translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010

LOL, so you will vote for Cruz if you have to, is your pushing him back because he is against citizenship for illegals, or because he is strong against Putin?

Making citizens of illegals destroys what appears to be the point of your post.

Post #46 says it far better than I could explain.

Until we have a citizenry, including a CIC, capable of united action against Putin, then doing much more than what we are doing now is a recipe for disaster.

If you can give any logical argument or historical parallel proving otherwise, then I'm willing to listen.

BO refused to pursue wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to final victory and turned them into disasters. What makes you think he would do anything differently with a real military opponent like Russia?

Meh.

Twenty-seven percent of Republicans saw the Democratic Party as an imminent threat to the United States, and 22 percent of Democrats deemed Republicans to be an imminent threat.

What you'd expect, I guess. They played up what they thought would get them a juicy headline.

I fail to see how Bashar al-Assad poses any threat whatsoever to the United States.

Who is talking about more?

So far you seem opposed to what we are doing so far, unless you mean that you oppose Cruz’s position yet approve of us sending in trainers and the other things I mentioned in post 30.

What I really hear from you is one, trying to divert the threads, and then when caught out, admitting that you do not want us to strongly oppose the enemy I accused you of defending.

As far as post 46, that poster supports a candidate who approves of citizenship for illegals, so his post was silly.

America has never faced an enemy as dangerous as Obama.

Obama is the biggest threat we’ve ever faced because he puts our foreign enemies at an advantage. He makes them strong and us weak. And they are taking advantage of the situation.

We’ll be fortunate if Obama doesn’t get many of us killed. Under Obama, the continental USA is in danger.

With Obama our enemies can sit back and watch us implode and strengthen themselves.

I'm not opposed to the Ted Cruz position or doing up to and including basically what we did under Lend-Lease before we became actively involved in World War II.

I'm vehemently opposed to an American military weakened and sabotaged by the current CIC being dragged into a war that we wouldn't be allowed to win.

Your opposition to post #46 on an issue totally unrelated to what was posted does nothing but further your further decline into irrelevance. What is said on that post is 100% correct. Good day!
