Begala: We Should Debate Whether to ‘Blow Up’ Russian Agencies in Retaliation
freebeacon.com ^ | 7/13/17 | David Rutz

Posted on 07/13/2017 11:36:27 AM PDT by ColdOne

CNN commentator and longtime Clinton ally Paul Begala said Wednesday that the U.S. should be debating whether to "blow up" agencies like the GRU in an apparent call for President Donald Trump to bomb Russia.

Begala, who like many Democrats praised Barack Obama for mocking Mitt Romney's description of Russia as "our No. 1 geopolitical foe" in 2012, said on CNN that Russia is a "hostile foreign power" and the Trump administration should be "retaliating massively" for Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election in 2016.

"We were and are under attack by a hostile foreign power, and they seem to be abetting that hostile foreign power," Begala said, according to the Daily Beast. "We should be debating how many sanctions we should place on Russia, or whether we should blow up the KGB or GSU, GRU [Russia's foreign military intelligence agency.] We should be retaliating massively. By the way, if I were a Trump supporter, I would want to retaliate massively because it has tainted his victory."

Begala and Carville always were evil and psychotic. Now we see The Forehead trying to start a shooting war with Russia over a meeting with a lawyer. What a psycho nut.

If a right wing guy said something like this, he’d already be in jail.

I’m not even asking for evidence, just one specific allegation.

It’s amazing how this guy now takes the Romney position, and Trump supporters now agree with Obama.

Paul Begala, “We Should Debate Whether to ‘Blow Up’ Russian Agencies in Retaliation.”

Whoa, slow down there princess...you’re getting awfully squirrely for such a pajama boy.

While if I had to guess, the toughest thing you ever did was open a difficult jar of pickles, why don’t you just calm down swishy pants before you hurt yourself, take a couple hits off your puffer and chill.

There are adults, actually very adult males now in charge of DOD that took over from your little sister Ashlyn Carter who practically did everything in his power to ruin the world’s most exquisite fighting forces ever assembled in the history of the world.

Here’s a thought Paula, why don’t you go back to hyperventilating about Trump, you know, stick with what you know.

I am totally mystified as to all this call for war on Russia.

I don’t really care about the Ukraine or Georgia. Historically the Russians going back to Peter the Great and before have always desired to have a warm water port on the Black Sea. They can sort it out themselves.

I remember when Nixon went to China and the Soviet Union in 1972 and most of the country and politicians supported the efforts to bring China into the world and the efforts to calm tensions with the Soviets with Glasnost. Most all thought they were good ideas.

Now we have people on the Right and Left that seem to want war and Trump is the only person who seems to be trying to avoid it and have stable relations with Russia.

So someone please explain it all to me.

He means SVR and GRU.

This is insane though - we’re going to begin a war against a nuclear superpower over allegations the Left and its captive media have been unable to substantiate?

Keep in mind the Russian conspiracy is a diversion to insulate the Left from accepting Trump won the election fair and square.

Attacking Russia won’t change it.

Trump supporters do not agree with Obama on Russia. Just because somebody is a strategic competitor does not mean you shouldn’t talk with them.

Reagan called them the “Evil Empire” and continued to negotiate with them.

Just because you sound like you are taking the Begala position doesn’t mean you are like Begala? or are you?

Well, the media has reported two types of “allegations”:

Type 1: According to unnamed sources...
Type 2: If there was collusion, this might have happened...

This kind of reporting would have gotten you laughed out of the profession years ago. But now, it’s par for the course.

The democrat insiders and their Neocon pals are absolutely desperate to start a war with Russia. They know how badly Obama damaged the US economy and that before long the chickens are going to come home to roost.

With Hillary in, they could have a war and the war would not only be an excuse for the economic mess, it would be reason to Federalize everything still not under Federal control.

With Trump in, they know he won't sit quietly in the Whitehouse and let the media lie about him the way Bush did, he'll go on the campaign trail giving explicit details of what Democrat fascist program or EO caused which aspects of the problem. He'll also have solutions that will work, not solutions that further the Globalist agenda which includes turning Americans into little more than serfs with the government selecting who can to go college, where you can work, how much you can work (wanna share those minimum wage hours, doncha know), and so on

Very simple, to get rid of the evidence.

Then Russia retaliates by nuking the NSA. Then WW3 follows. Brilliant.
My God, these people are barking mad.

Hey, Begala—pussy boy. You go “blow up the Russians”. Let us know how fashionable your head looks on that stick in front of the Red Square.

Sounds like Paul is volunteering for a mission, we should crowd source a ticket to Moscow for him and give him a fake prop suicide vest. See how well it goes for him.
