December 8, 201510 yr We have the resources, we have an inept Congress and a POTUS with no stones. We don't have to go it alone but we have to be willing to do it. An air campaign alone will not get the job done. So we're doing what, exactly? Going after Russia, Syria, ISIS, the Iranian regime and Chinese bad faith trade negotiating and saber-rattling all by ourselves? How does that work? These aren't pieces you move on a board. Merkel, Cameron, Hollande, Jinping, Abe... these are proud people with dignity and national interests of their own. They're not going to help us just because we say it's time to roll.

December 8, 201510 yr I think Trump resonates with people not only because he speaks so openly and unedited, but because he has ripped everybody! I'm not sure thats gonna get him elected, but it sure has been entertaining.
December 8, 201510 yr They have in the past because we had strong leadership. Not the hand wringing type we have now. ISIS understands one thing, power. They did? Seems like we had the Brits and the Aussies in the invasion of Iraq with a huge opposition from France and Russia. Remember freedom fries?
December 8, 201510 yr Trump is no more dangerous than the person in charge right now. Obama is reckless and has pretty much made America lose what little respect we had from the Bush yrs. Obama has made the ME a hotbed for terrorist and has caused all this turmoil by supporting the Arab Spring in getting rid of Egypt and Libya leaders. They may have been bad guys, but at least they kept them there and somewhat subdued. Obama created terrorism in the Middle East. That's better than Gore saying he created the Internet. :jump:
December 8, 201510 yr The actual dangerous ones are Hillary and the current President and his Administration. More dangerous than Trump? Really?
December 8, 201510 yr He knows exactly what he is saying. I agree. he's not terribly bright but there is a plan in all of his madness. He knows what crowd he's playing to.
December 8, 201510 yr They did? Seems like we had the Brits and the Aussies in the invasion of Iraq with a huge opposition from France and Russia. Remember freedom fries? Yeah, let's just discount England and Australia. They don't count. France and Russia didn't want in because that's where they were getting their oil.
December 8, 201510 yr Obama created terrorism in the Middle East. That's better than Gore saying he created the Internet. :jump: Your as good as the liberal media putting words in someone's mouth. I never said he created terrorism, I said he allowed for it to be a hotbed for it more than it was before. He created a vacume in the ME in Egypt, Syria, and Libya and no one filled it. Obama tried like heck to allow the terror group Muslim Brotherhood fill it but even the Muslims there don't trust them. Then that allowed that JV team known as ISIS fill the vacume in Libya and almost Syria. Thank God the Egyptian military had more sense than Obama and stopped the madness Obama so much wanted and allowed to happen
December 9, 201510 yr Not a big Trump supporter. With that being said' date=' he is no idiot or moron. You can't be that successful and be and idiot or moron. As Beechwoodfan said, he has no diplomacy skills. Then again, with leaders like Putin, why would you need any?[/quote'] Trumps very business savvy and an economic genius. However, in my opinion he's still an idiot. Most of his rants, tirades, and not so well thought out comments prove that. I just don't want a mad man like that in the White House building 1,000 mile high walls and pressing buttons on nuclear launch buttons.
December 9, 201510 yr Yeah, let's just discount England and Australia. They don't count. France and Russia didn't want in because that's where they were getting their oil. I mentioned them. Glad we had their support. You do realize the Brits just got Parliment support last week to combat ISIS? I might add we still haven't gotten Congressional support. This makes us look weak.

Then that allowed that JV team known as ISIS fill the vacume in Libya and almost Syria. Thank God the Egyptian military had more sense than Obama and stopped the madness Obama so much wanted and allowed to happen I'll agree he contributed in creating a vacuum by withdrawing troops before a strong government was established in the region. We have to remember he was elected on that promise. The nation was tired of the Bush war in the Middle East, so the majority chose a leader that would withdraw troops. TBH I think Obama wanted to leave them longer once he got into office, but the polls were so bad plus Osama Bin Laden had been found and killed, and the distaste only grew. Our nation doesn't have the stomach for 10-15 years of war.
December 9, 201510 yr Let's not forget, Trump said he would ban immigrants, Jimmy Carter did. Jimmy Carter Blocked Iran?s Immigrants ? Is Donald Trump?s Muslim Immigration Ban The Same?
