Fiorina: 'We must be prepared’ to use force on Russia
The Hill ^ | 10/1/15 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 10/01/2015 7:54:38 AM PDT by jimbo123

Amid conflicting reports about Moscow targeting U.S.-alllied groups in Syria, GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said late Wednesday that she backs military readiness against Russian forces.

“I believe we must tell the Russians that we will conduct [and] we will secure a no-fly zone around anti-Assad rebel forces that we’re supporting,” she said on Fox News’s "Hannity."

“Does that mean we might use force against Russian jets?” host Sean Hannity then asked. “Well, hopefully not,” Fiorina responded. "Hopefully, if we are signaling clearly to the Russians are intention, it will not come to that.”

“But if it does come to that, I think we must be prepared,” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO added.

It would be a win squared if we dropped off Obama with her.

Not “we”, iCarly. It was planned and executed by your buddy.

Now we know why Obama didn’t go further than threatening during the various ‘red line’ crossings. He probably got a ‘ear whisper only’ relayed from the Russians on what would happen.

You’re telling me you’re so lame you can’t Google this?

Geez.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union_in_the_Korean_War

IN THE VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH:

“Though not officially belligerent in the Korean War (1950–1953), the communist Soviet Union played a significant, covert role in the conflict through its provision of material and medical services and also Soviet pilots and aircraft (most notably MiG 15 jet fighters) to aid the North Korean-Chinese forces engaged in combat with United Nations Forces.”

Like I said, these are established and known facts. Now go look up the Vietnam info on your own. It’s there and if you make me look it up for you I’ll mock you again.

Thank you. Exactly. And BTW, how brilliant is Putin. He invade Europe with a trojan horse, and never fired a rocket nor lost a man. They’re being shipped in. How come no one speaks of this?

As far as I know, Obama doesn’t have congressional approval to “fight” in Syria....only to spend the money to train them and do a little “secret” arming on the side.

Instead of meddling in the Middle East it is long past time to concentrate on rebuilding the USA. No way should we burn out what’s left of the USA in the crap hole of the Middle East. Let the Middle East rectify their own problems. 13 years of war and resulting mega trillions in debt and need for life long VA benefits means it is time for some hunkering in and isolationism.

I know its not politically correct but women don’t have the aggressive gene necessary to be CNC and if they do, you really don’t want them to be in charge of sending our young men to war.

It's the chicks in the Obama administration who start all these conflicts - Hillary/Nuland/Power. They are the acknowledged hawks who started the disasters in Libya, Egypt, Ukraine, and others I can't even remember. They escape blame for the carnage they wrought because no one dares criticize a "strong woman" (unless it's Kim Davis).

If you read up on cops going psycho, an inordinate amount are females. With men, they called it "Napoleon Complex".

I do not want a woman POTUS anxious to prove how "tough" she is.

“And even though we were isolationist non-participants in the first two World Wars, we got drawn in. So we have to have a plan.”

We have been drawn into wars because our “entangling alliances” (that G. Washington warned us about). They have made it not only possible for others to draw us into wars, but likely as others will control the events that inevitably involve us. They will deliberately create the situation that will suck us in because it is in their interest, not ours.

If Trump isn’t the nominee all hell is going to break loose.

1968 will look like a cakewalk.

She’s nuttier than a bag of squirrels and like a lot of women who hold high level corporate positions, its very important for her to show that she has a jackknife just like all the boys have. Because that what the boys would do — attack the bad Russians — so that’s what she would have to do to show that she’s just like one of the boys.

Ukraine has been contested by Russia as a breakaway internal state. We don’t even have diplomatic relations with Syria, which has itself had diplomatic relations with Russia for fifty years. You’re naive because you think nuclear retaliation is the same across the board. That’s how you, and Carly, trigger an actual nuclear war.


Russia is the trigger. Russia threatened Denmark with nuclear war. That has nothing to with Ukraine. Russia flew military aircraft in the English Channel commercial airspace with their transponders off. That had nothing to do with Syria or Ukraine. Our issue should be with one party state fascist Russia and their new BFF Death to America Iran. They are obviously not a benevolent force and must be dealt with appropriately.

I could not agree more. My jaw dropped when I read this.

I agree with the poster above you.... A “Daisy” commercial, indeed. Perhaps some expert Freepers could link to a video. I will try to do so.

She is certifiable.
