Trump: Crimea is Europe's problem
CNN ^ | July 31, 2015 | Tom LoBianco

Posted on 08/01/2015 5:10:41 PM PDT by conservative98

"Let me explain first of all — this is Europe's problem much more than ours, OK?" Trump told CNN during a trip to Scotland.

"And Europe isn't complaining as much as we are. But this is more of a Europe problem," Trump continued. "And when Europe comes to us and says, 'We want your help, we want your help,' but they're not really doing that. They're dealing with Russia, they're taking in the gas, they're taking in the oil — they're not really doing that. And you know, we're making a big deal out of it."

"But why isn't Germany leading this one?" Trump asked. "You know Germany is a very rich, very powerful nation. Why aren't they dealing on it moreso? Everything the United States — we're like the policeman of the world."

You could not be a bigger baffoon at this point.

You have no argument to present. You don’t accept straight forward historical facts, nor do you offer to refute them.

You ask the same idiotic question ad nauseum, as if it constitutes an argument.

It’s in our national interest for Russia not to control Ukraine, and it’s in our interest for Ukraine to develop into a freer society like South Korea has.
The risk that Russia will launch nukes at us, because we aid Ukraine in defeating their proxy rebels is nill.

The chances that you will answer a single question, admit you were wrong about the Founders, or defend your position with any facts at all, is clearly less than nill.

A buffoon says he is against Imperial worldcop duty while calling for the US to be Imperial worldcop.

Thats you.

Facts are stubborn things.

So Washington, Adams,Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe were all World Cops in your opinion. OK, stupid opinion, but everyone has one.

What you have is an assertion, not an argument.

You’ve offered nothing in support of what we must surmise is your belief that Russia is of no concern to the United States. You’ve offered nothing but an unsupported assertion that the Founders were isolationists.

You’ve shown nothing but the trappings of an ignorant mind asserting itself forcefully.

Big people bring facts and logic to an argument, not your empty assertions.

There is an argument to be made for not getting involved in Ukraine, I’ve heard that argument, but not from you. Sadly, I know your position better than you do, and have even offered some of it up, so that I would at least have a salient point to refute.

You’re a joke. Hey, why don’t you call me sweety again and ask me your stupid world cop question for the fourth time? That is all you apparently have.

There you go blasting text with no context again.

Which founder ever got us into a foreign entanglement that was devoid of American interest? Not your Unicorn farm where we have one in the Ukraine. A real historical example.

Zbigniew Brzezinski.. who bragged in 1999 that he was the founder of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, that turned into Al Qaeda, that turned into the FSA (Free Syrian Army) and that turned into ISIS.

Good another reason to support Trump.

We have no Imminent National Security Threat in Ukraine.

It’s none of our dam business!

It’s not worth going to nuclear war over.

All I keep seeing when I read your posts is the retarded kid from “Something About Mary”, but instead of dancing around yelling “frank and beans”, it’s “world cop”.

The only salient point that I can even infer from your nonsense, that you are still holding onto, is as a rational person would state it, “I don’t think helping Ukraine resist Russian domination is in any way a benefit to our national interset”.

Got it. You’re wrong, but at least we’ve cracked that little peanut for you.

Who’s “we”? You and your poorly developed sense of reality?

You’ve still got nothing, I see.

Says the guy that needs a remedial history class.

We are the only ones left here so your performance isn’t winning converts. Let it go. You aren’t changing reality.

I’m here, all here, you are not.

Every single historical fact I gave was spot on. You ran away from it, offered zero to counter any element of it. You’ve yet to list one thing, one single thing, that I’ve said that isn’t factual.

Obviously you know it, so you’re just being a child. A dull, obtuse, bratty child. You didn’t get what you wanted and you can’t express yourself.

Spot out of context too.

Dishonest, out of context and reinventing reality is no way to go through life.

you blew Barbary, you want worldcop both ways and you quote out of context. Childish indeed.

Out of context, you petulant child?

Please do explain the mitigating context under which Washington involved the U.S. in Haiti and the Founders debated aid to the French Republic. I’ll wait, while you suck your thumb and refuse to engage.

So come on dumb ass, give the mitigating context. Just once, come on clown, stop hiding behind your oafish ignorance and take a stab at it.

You’re terrified now, aren’t you, but you can’t admit that you’ve got nothing, not a shred in your own defense.

Now youre just a dolt that has ahold of a live wire and can’t let go. You’re only remaining hope is that I’ll turn off the current. Nope, every time that you insist on continuing with your stupid little charade, I’m going to smack you harder.

The best part is that this thread is here for posterity.

Yes it is thank God and I will be sending people here often as an example of what your pathetic argument looks like.

So far the emails on it are hilarious ;)

Your mommy emails you, how sweet. But can’t you just walk up stairs and talk to her?
