This type of insane rhetoric alone should be enough to disqualify Rubio as a legitimate candidate for president:
"It is important for us to be very clear that we will respond and defend Turkey if they come under assault from the Russians. Otherwise the entire NATO alliance comes into question," Rubio, who is running for president, said on Fox News.
"If Russia believes that they can respond and retaliate against Turkey because NATO is not going to do anything about it, what they are basically doing is making the argument that NATO is no longer viable, that it is a feckless alliance."
The incident was the first time a NATO member has shot down a Russian target since the Cold War, and it threatened to escalate the political tensions surrounding the 4 year old civil war in Syria."
The neocons are still smarting over their failure to start World War 3 during the Cold War. It was the one that got away.
Note: The fact that Trump isn't being advised by these lunatics is one of the strongest arguments for his candidacy. It was his shining moment in the last debate.
Not only “No,” but Hell, No!
Rubio is a loose cannon for a fact.
Carson has said nothing. Is he at the “take the Money and Run” stage? Always said Carson was only in it for the money.
“No way should we let Turkey drag us iinto a war with Russia.
Rubio is an idiot.
Someone here has a picture of Grahamnesty, McCain and Rubio with the jihadis they were arming in Syria.
“There is no radical Islam, there is only Islam†- Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan
Turkey is run by Islamists. They have been aiding ISIS.”
Agreed.
Erdogan wants to establish/run the Caliphate...the more Islamists killed in Turkey/Syria by Russia the fewer we have to deal with.
Exactly. I kind of see this like the russian front in WWII.
Rubio is as nuts a O wanting us to defend the Islamists in Turkey.
No - the responsible action is to boot Turkey from NATO.
bad call Rubio...and wrong side.
Carson couldn’t have been very serious. He knew he was going to run in 2013, but did nothing to get informed on the issues and it shows. I think you are right about the money making aspect. He calls Armstrong Williams his “business manager”.
Concur; Rubio is not ready for the big leagues; sort of embarassing for a Senator to say this as well.
yea lets defend Turkey which props up ISIS, Rubio just piss off will you.
“No - the responsible action is to boot Turkey from NATO.”
Exactly right. How many times does Turkey have to align itself against the other countries in NATO until they figure that out?
defend Turkey!?
sorry, this isn’t 1958 and Turkey has far too great an IslamoNazi enemy pall to it these days
Just said the same
Pat Buchanan has been warning of this kind of thing for 20 years. NATO should've ceased to exist in 1991. Instead, we keep adding to it, right up to Russia's doorstep. Someday, some little skirmish like this is going to trip WWIII.
Time we stopped supporting Islamic hell holes. Israel needs all of our attention.
Good link. Thanks!
Legally, he’s right (we are bound by the NATO treaty to respond). However, he should not have even made the comment given who is in the White House., as it’s no secret King Putt is totally clueless when it comes to foreign affairs, and he’d likely get us smacked.
It will be great to have a President in the White House who treats Israel with respect again.
