The nation’s foreign policy is “a manifest disaster.”
Its approach to cutting a deal with Iran on nuclear development is “catastrophically reckless.”
Its policy on assisting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia is “incoherent.”
This White House is home to the “most hostile administration to Israel in modern times.”
That’s Sen. Ted Cruz’s scathing assessment of President Barack Obama’s foreign policy, a blistering critique that is positioning him as the most blazingly hawkish Republican to potentially run for president in 2016. He also tellingly dubbed it “the Obama-Clinton foreign policy,” a subtle hint that he’d lob much of the same argument against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she seeks the White House.
The Texas Republican spoke at a pair of foreign policy events in Washington this week, appearing before the Concerned Veterans for America on Tuesday and at the Foreign Policy Initiative conference Wednesday.
In a 45-minute conversation with The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol on Wednesday afternoon, Cruz called for a larger defense budget, accused the Democratic administration of using politics to drive Pentagon decisions and cited what he viewed as “repeated mistakes.”
“It seems the whole world is on fire right now,” he said....

Go Ted Go!
We need a Reagan desperately now, and Cruz seems to be the man.
I agree 100%
Considering you were writing in another thread that the Ukraine conflict was started by the Illuminati, or the forces of the NWO, or some such thing, what do you think of Cruz’s opposition to Russia and support of the Ukrainian people? Is he a reptilian? Is he a cold war nutter?
I never used the word “illuminati” newbie, and perhaps you will remember that Bush 41 and many other officials have admitted to a “New World Order” so what’s your point? I served in military intelligence, so I’m well aware that there are all kinds of forces, most behind the scenes, that really control the world. If you don’t believe that, nothing I say will make any sense to you.
No wonder the Russkies got away with infiltrating our country from top to bottom. We had you in there hunting for reptilians instead of commies.
You’re an ass. Begone!
Oh, btw, please throw your military service out there so that we may be enlightened as to your expertise and background, realizing that there are literally thousands of veterans here and we’ll pull your story apart at the seams if it’s at all fishy.
You slimy poser. When have I ever claimed to have military service? Where did you even get that?
You’re the one who claimed my craziness, slacking and ineptitude caused the Russian Communists to infiltrate this country. Actually, I was usually facing the North Koreans, not the Soviets and I did it well enough to garner five promotions and win the Army Achievement Medal twice.
Before you insult his service tell us about yours.
You're right, I apologize. I shouldn't have wrote that.
That said, your intelligence service obviously did not make you an expert on Ukraine and Russia, otherwise you would not be making claims that there is a NWO conspiracy in that country, suggesting that Russia is in the right to invade.
‘Most Hawkish of Them All’?
What is that?
They want people to think, “Most Hated of Them All”, and go from there.
Well...the haters will come out on FR.
Cruz IS the most hated.
The guy that comes in to fix this is going to be very hated. And if he doesn’t care about it, like Cruz doesn’t, he might get somewhere.
A Stopped Clock is right 2 Minutes a Day.
Ted Cruz is right 1440 Minutes a Day.
Because there are Russians posting pictures of boxes containing the decapitated heads of their victims on their Russian version of facebook. There are women survivors with faces turned to mush, telling stories of how Russian soldiers gang raped and tortured them because they said something mildly critical of the Russian regime. There are dead copies being found in mass graves with signs of torture with fire, bullets to feet, and other horrible wounds. There are Russian "Orthodox Priests" killing Catholic Priests and Protestant pastors, who also turn around and scream about "Yiddish Banderovites" (Jewish Nazis) secretly being behind the Ukrainian conflict.
I don't see any NWO guys, or Free Masons, or anybody else, sitting around just forcing Russia to do this.
The reason why Russia airs guys like Alex Jones on RT and push these kinds of conspiracies, even blaming the United States for 9/11 and all sorts of crimes, is very naturally because NWO conspiracies are at the very core useful for their purposes. Instead of believing in Russian criminal acts, which are right out in the open, we're turning on ourselves.
And I never justified Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
If you do not believe that Russia has a right to invade Ukraine, or that the Ukrainians have no right to defend their own country from these fake "separatists," and if you backup Cruz 100 percent in his condemnation of Russia, then we have no problem.
I could give a $#*+ less if I have a problem with someone from the Class of 2013. What makes you think I value your opinion?
You don't have to value my opinion. You just have to value my facts, and bow to them, or else complain very loudly if you do not like them (I like that).
Talk about delusions of grandeur. Wow.
