Cruz: Trump 'wrong' on NATO

The Hill ^ | 3/22/16 | Jessie Byrnes

Not the way to get the Euros to contribute more.

Trump is all over the map. He is neutral on the Palis as well.

Attacking Ted Cruz along with Nikki Haley and many others wont help.

[Harpotoo]

Cruzifer is an idiot! What use has NATO been for Crimea, Ukraine, Georgia? What use is NATO against NK? Hell what use are they anywhere?

[Jane Long]

Can you believe we ever supported this schlemiel??

[scooby321]

Teddy , Donald J. Trump predicted this attack and you?

[FreeReign]

Damn - i liked Cruz - but he just abandoned an important issue which Trump correctly grabbed. NATO’s mission ended 25 years ago.

Did Trump say that NATO's mission has ended?

Not exactly.

[Harpotoo]

Oh like Israel where the President’s deal states the US must PROTECT IRAN from any Israeli attack be it military or Cyber?

[martinidon]

You are spot on! One thing about Trump, he doesn't care about being politically correct with these other countries. He will absolutely make sure America we are making better deals!

[driftdiver]

you should put the kool aid down.

[Psalm 144]

Love it.

Keep it coming, Felito. You are my favorite neocon, ever.

[driftdiver]

We’re letting muslims flood our country.

Who should pay for our security?

I had a friend recently call me up with thoughts of suicide. I was just leaving for an appointment, but I needed to help my friend out. He was 300 miles away and in a tough spot. His medication was messing him up. It took me three hours to help him figure out what to do - long distance. It took every ounce of finesse and prayer to give him what he needed.

What did it cost me? Especially, since I could not stop and call my appointment to let them know I was not going to show up for it. About $100. Plus, my ear hurt and my hand holding the phone hurt. But my friend needed me. I know he would have done the same for me.

We have made commitments that we have no right to back off on. Yes, Obama does that as a matter of course. But, we conservatives are not Obama. We have responsibilities and duties that set us apart from the libs.

Every person running for office on a Republican ticket should do no less.

[Psalm 144]

“So, you are for abandoning our friends?”

Parasites are not friends.

[kabar]

Most NATO members are not adhering to their own recommendation to pay 2% of GDP on defense. NATO is a hollowed out alliance. The US should stop being the patsy for the Europeans and Canadians who are not pulling their fair share.

[miss marmelstein]

I don’t drink that childish beverage; do you?

[GBA]

Hey, Sarah Palin!

Remember back in 2012 when you told US about Ted from Texas, who wanted to be a Senator and we all should support him?

Why didn't you tell US that he also was, in fact, a Canadian citizen running for the U.S. Senate?

And now, just a few short years later and even before finishing the job he asked for, "that guy" is now a "Natural Born American Citizen" running for President!

Yeah, sure he is. And Bruce Jenner, the guy from my childhood on the box of Wheaties with all the Olympic gold medals, is really a woman named "Caitlyn".

Boy howdy, the delusion is strong in our times.

From what I've read that seems to mean tiddy-up your stuff, for these times they are a-closin'...

[Harpotoo]

Right they don’t even know how to blockage their own countries from invaders!

Cruzifer a day late and a trillion $s short!

[conejo99]

“You’re wasting your breath, these zealots have made up their mind, common sense be damned.”
I wonder how many would find some reason to be just a vocal on the other side if Trump came out in support for Nato or missile defense in Poland?

[virginia9000]

I’m starting to think Cruz is a Punk!

[Trump20162020]

"It is striking that the day after Donald Trump called for America weakening NATO, withdrawing from NATO, we see Brussels, where NATO is headquartered, the subject of a radical Islamic terrorist attack," Cruz told reporters in Washington on Tuesday.

Cruz sounds like such a weasel here. NATO's existence didn't do jack to stop that attack, did it?

It's time Europe starts paying its fair share. Many of these leeches don't even spend the paltry 2% pledge on their own defense.
