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."

No it’s history.

Okay you think you have your history right and I think you have your history wrong.

If you read the post histories of those involved, you will see a perfect record of their support for the furthest left of GOP candidates when the chips are down as well. And lots of excuses.

You can think Rainbow Dash is a cooler pony than Fluttershy. You can think a lot of things.

Doesn’t change the facts. Barry got caught trying to start a war.

We lost almost 100,000 KIA in WW-III. It wasn’t cold.

No surprise...typically it’s INSECURE people that need to push for military action, so as to compensate, I guess.

Believe me, we will lose a LOT MORE than 100,000 in WW-III, more like 100 MILLION, which is why I prefer to fight it when we have a military that HAS NOT been gutted.

In this Trump is right. Most of the people in the disputed lands are Russians. Borders being changed by combat? Thats the History of Europe for the last 2,000 years. We had our hand in Serbian break up. Let Europe handle Europe—we got bigger fish to fry. We have a nation to restore—the USA.

"But why isn't Germany leading this one?" 

For one thing, Germany wasn't a signer of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum guaranteeing Ukrainian sovereignty to get them to return Soviet nuclear weapons to Russia. The US, UK and (snort) Russia were. So much for that guarantee... the next coutry thinking about giving up their nukes will have to remember this event.

The recordings showed NATO's Pyatt asking Nuland to influence who would comes to power in Ukraine AFTER yet another Ukrainian revolution.

Apparently Pyatt wasn't aware that Obama didn't care that much.

Obama didn't start anything in Ukraine and every single action since has showed that.

"Zbigniew Brzezinski and other influential American foreign policy advisors"

In no way shape and form was Zbigniew Brzezinski influential. But wait for it, Lurch John Kerry will go down as the absolute inept Secretary of State.

Are you genuinely unaware of the CIA and various ‘military advisers’ we sent there before, during and after or are you intentionally making excuses for the Obama Admin?

Cool. So now I'm making excuses for Obama?

Typical Norm BS.

Tell me Norm, are you genuinely unaware of all the Putin connections in Ukraine over the last 15 years trying to overturn Ukraine's sovereignty or are you intentionally making excuses for Putin?

And are you genuinely unaware of all the Obama denials to help Ukraine and to appease Putin or are you making excuses for Obama?

There's a boundary between Ukraine and Russia

I'm interested in the boundary between Mexico and the US.

Kiev trying to draw us into their was against Russia is getting tedious.

Me too.

And I'm also interested into making sure that anybody who ever crossed our boundary illegally doesn't get rewarded with amnesty.

And that includes the so called "terrific" ones.
