Secretary of State John Kerry took a shot at Donald Trump during his Friday commencement speech at Northeastern University, by saying no wall is big enough to keep dangerous terrorists out of the United States.
"Many of you were in elementary school when you learned the toughest lesson of all on 9/11," he said. "There are no walls big enough to stop people from anywhere, tens of thousands of miles away, who are determined to take their own lives while they target others."
"So I think that everything that we've lived and learn tells us that we will never come out on top if we accept advice from sound-bite salesmen and carnival barkers who pretend the most powerful country on Earth can remain great by looking inward," Kerry added. "And hiding behind walls at a time that technology has made that impossible to do and unwise to even attempt."
Kerry didn't mention Trump by name, but Trump has repeatedly called for a wall on the southern U.S. border, and many Democrats, and some Republicans, have taken to calling him a carnival barker.
Kerry also seemed to dismiss the importance of national borders, and said technology has reshaped the world into one that the U.S. must engage at the risk of being left behind. He said Trump and others who want to look inward are making a mistake, even in the face of rising tension and violence in the world.
"For some people, that is all they need simply to climb under the sheets, close their eyes and push the world away," Kerry said. "And shockingly, we even see this attitude from some who think they ought to be entrusted with the job of managing international affairs."
"The future demands from us something more than a nostalgia for some rose-tinted version of the past that did not really exist in any case," he said. "You're about to graduate into a complex and borderless world."
The only time we have a borderless world is if America leads, and the world is armless except us.
We could after WWII had a borderless world with us in charge.
NOw I’m not sure.
Trump has the idea. Strongest military on the planet.
Then countrie will have to trust us.
We can have robots manning places of hostility.
“...tells grads to prepare for ‘borderless world’....”
Does that include Kerry’s estate?
I heard Hillary came out with an ad the other day, that you would swear was Trump ad until the end...Then you realize it was her’s.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!
Tribalism can thrive even within the nation state. #BLM
Personally, a barnacle encrusted rust bucket Liberian flagged freighter would work. No need to foul the hulls of our flag vessels. Some stains never come off you know.
Trump should send some of his guys over to Kerry’s “tony” Beacon Hill Townhouse to remove all the Exterior Door Locks.
Mexico has a wall on her southern border.
Says Kerry who hides behind a giant walled compound surrounded by armed security.
“The future demands from us something more than a nostalgia for some rose-tinted version of the past that did not really exist in any case,” he said. “You’re about to graduate into a complex and borderless world.”
Every word that comes out of these jackasses mouths creates more votes for Trump. And, here’s another trick that the Uniparty uses: the past did not exist and/or was evil, unlike the wonderful world we offer you today. Every American, black or white over the age of 50 knows that to be an outrageous lie. Too bad the younger people don’t know this because they were taught out of liberal history books.
Take your one world govt and stick where the sun doesnt shine, Kerry. You snake oil salesman.
“Personally, a barnacle encrusted rust bucket Liberian flagged freighter would work. No need to foul the hulls of our flag vessels.”
Those were dirty and terrible looking ship decades ago.
Now they might be worse night mares.
When that border between Rhode Island and Massachusetts goes away so will John’s tax shelter for his yacht.
Now they might be worse night mares.
So....you're on board with my idea?
;>)
And Kerry by advocating a borderless world shows everyone that the establishment wants a one world government for maximum fun and profits.
“So....you’re on board with my idea?”
As long as we could hire the deck hands on a Liberian Tramp Steamer to do a good job of removing the barnacles with Kerry and other traitors.
More condescension from a left wing nutjob...
Kerry fails to recognize that WALLS have been built by humanity throughout history and have been VERY EFFECTIVE at defending populations. Think of all the Medieval castles with moats. Think of The Vatican today. Think of the Great Wall of China.
Hey, in fact, TRUMP should use The Great Wall of China as an example to defend his wall idea. Our future wall would be about 1/6th the length of The Great Wall of China. He needs to say “We’re just doing what China did 2000 years ago.”
From web: “In an archaeological survey that took five years to complete, China’s State Administration of Cultural Heritage announced yesterday that the wall measures 21,196.18 km (13,170.69 miles).”
"And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
As WRONG as Kerry has been about everything thus far then I'd say he's going to look like a BIG A$$ fool on his current comment.
Treason IS what the anti Constitutional, anti American Democrat party IS all about. They take pride in their treason. It’s them.
The Democrats could not exist if they didn’t have treason to support. They hate America, and everything it stands for, so treason is the reason of the Democrats, and who they are.
