Trump's Rhetoric on Russia Throws US Under the Bus
NRO ^ | 2/08/2017 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 02/08/2017 6:52:11 AM PST by nikos1121

The president's own words make him sound like he has contempt for American ideals. Once again, Trump has come to Putin's defense by throwing America under the bus.

I thought I'd give this guy another chance, but no he can't help himself. He's the worst, the absolute worst of all the writer, thinkers, pundits etc. This is nothing more than another example of mental masturbation from the never Trump crowd.

I guess he doesn't recall us killing Ghadaffi and gloating over it, or the countless drone strikes on our enemies.

I'm not sure what his point is other than it's another Trump bashing. In fact, I doubt if you'll see one solitary positive article on Trump from this guy.

When this guy comes on Fox, I turn it off, even though the station is off 90% of the time. I'm watching pretty much only Fox Business.

You are right - the USA had no right participating in “The Arab Spring” let alone HELPING THEM by killing Khadaffy and deposing all the leaders of those other countries

I’ll have to put the National Review in the Fake News category.

Trump said this and I immediately thought of Hillary and Her escapades.

Jonah Goldberg is a #NeverTrumper whose opinion should be ignored. His hatred of Trump is palpable. I am not sure why you post this crap.

I'm watching pretty much only Fox Business.

Me too. I love Lou Dobbs and am getting used to Kennedy, but man what a hair style she has.

joanna goldbitch is a pimp, that gets air and print time because of his momma, I can no longer watch or read the little bitch's screed.

The Five, the First 100 Days, shep-puppy, cavuto, almost all daytime stuff, all weekend stuff except Judge J, and a little water and gut-busten...all gone from my TV/DVR.

I rarely watch any live TV, why bother when I can get through an hour program in less than 35 minutes and watch no "gold/silver/insurance/hard-onpills/catheter/depends/and re-fi commercials.

No, Trump just threw the neocons and liberal interventionists (including Hillary, Samantha World Power, and Noodlehead) under the bus.

GOOD!!!!

You would think that Goldberg could at least place Trump’s comments in context that Trump is soon going to meet with Putin and it wouldn’t be wise to alienate him because the US needs Putin in any dealings with Iran. So no, Trump did not throw the US under a bus, but maybe Goldberg needs to get a job as a busboy.

Well, there is indeed the list of Hillary-related Arkancides.

But what also comes to mind is Obama’s quote in 2013, “I’m good at killing people.”

We’ve had a corrupt mobster from Chicago in the White House for 8 years, and Jonah Goldberg wants Trump to defend him? Trump should turn Obama over to an international tribunal for prosecution for war crimes and that old liberal favorite, “crimes against humanity.”

Yah think maybe Putin could arrange charges to be brought? ;)

The anti-Trump Goldigger just can’t help himself. Reverting back to his leftist ways.

Typical.

So-called "Conservative" believes he and his neocon globalist pals are the US and the other 99% of the population are all just little serfs.

If anybody knows anything about “contempt for American ideals” and “Throwing the US Under the Bus” It’s sadly Jonah.

He wrote a good book on “liberal fascism” and when confronted with a screaming example at Berkeley compared both sides to the Iran Iraq war. Really?

#TrumpDerangmentSyndrome has made him no longer an conservative. Wow.

Jonah is a total turdbucket.

I believe in American exceptionalism, hell, I wrote what I think is the ONLY really good definition of it in “A Patriot’s History of the Modern World.” But JFK had the CIA try to assassinate Castro, and DID assassinate Diem. There are plenty of others the US was implicated in.

Now, it’s realpolitik, I get it, sometimes you have to protect yourself, but when Trump said we’ve had some killers he is absolutely right.

Poor lil’ Jonah Goldberg. He’s just upset that Trump isn’t a war mongering neocon chicken hawk like him. If you like wars so much, suit up Jonah, you chickenhawk!

Unfortunately Trump is correct. Since the end of WWII, the US has a history of using political assassination, fomenting rebellion, and instigating regime changes in sovereign nations in order to advance our own foreign policy interests. These so called conservatives are really just shills for the War Party bought and paid for by the military industrial complex.

What bothers me is that he often sounds to leftists like me that he has contempt for those ideals in the first place.

There...fixed. Just another example of picking words to support your point. Anytime I see nothing but single sentences or sentence fragments being quoted, red flags go off. This guy's the worst.
