Trump gives great foreign policy speech ....brands Hillary as reckless and bloodthirsty!

Donald Trump gave a great speech today where he laid the wood to that choking harpy. Some excepts from Breitbart News:


"Unlike my opponent, my foreign policy will emphasize diplomacy, not destruction. Hillary Clinton’s legacy in Iraq, Libya, and Syria has produced only turmoil and suffering. Her destructive policies have displaced millions of people, then she has invited the refugees into the West with no plan to screen them. Including Veteran healthcare costs, the price of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could total $6 trillion, according to a report in the Washington Examiner. Yet, after all this money spent and lives lost, Clinton’s policies as Secretary of State have left the Middle East in more disarray than ever before. Meanwhile, China has grown more aggressive, and North Korea more dangerous and belligerent. Russia has defied this Administration at every turn. Putin has no respect for President Obama or Hillary Clinton. Sometimes it has seemed like there wasn’t a country in the Middle East that Hillary Clinton didn’t want to invade, intervene or topple. She is trigger-happy and unstable when it comes to war."

I think this is a key point. Hillary signs on to the neocon consensus and wants to start more endless wars. She is rattling sabers at Russia when our true adversary is China and Russia is a natural ally. 

Trump continues:

"Let’s look back at the Middle East at the very beginning of 2009, before Hillary Clinton was sworn-in. Libya was stable. Syria was under control. Egypt was ruled by a secular President and an ally of the United States. Iraq was experiencing a reduction in violence. The group that would become what we now call ISIS was close to being extinguished. Iran was being choked off by economic sanctions. Fast-forward to today. What have the decisions of Obama-Clinton produced? Libya is in ruins, our ambassador and three other brave Americans are dead, and ISIS has gained a new base of operations. Syria is in the midst of a disastrous civil war. ISIS controls large portions of territory. A refugee crisis now threatens Europe and the United States. And hundreds of thousands are dead. In Egypt, terrorists have gained a foothold in the Sinai desert, near the Suez Canal, one of the most essential waterways in the world. Iraq is in chaos, and ISIS is on the loose. ISIS has spread across the Middle East, and into the West. Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, is now flush with $150 billion dollars in cash released by the United States – plus another $1.7 billion dollars in cash ransom payments. In other words, our country was blackmailed and extorted into paying this unheard-of amount of money. Worst of all, the Nuclear deal puts Iran, the number one state sponsor of Radical Islamic terrorism, on a path to nuclear weapons. This is Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy legacy."

Trump is going to put America first and will demand our so called allies pay their fair share. No more neo-con glory and endless expenditures and endless wars. We have no permanent allies only permanent interests. World War Two was a long time ago. He continues:

"Early in my term, I will also be requesting that all NATO nations promptly pay their bills, which many are not doing right now. Only 5 NATO countries, including the United States, are currently meeting the minimum requirement to spend 2% of GDP on defense. Additionally, I will be respectfully asking countries such as Germany, Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia to pay more for the tremendous security we provide them"

Finally he doesn't want to fight the last war. He wants to prepare for the new landscape and the new area of conflict:

"Hillary Clinton put her emails on a secret server to cover-up her pay-for-play scandals at the State Department. Nothing threatens the integrity of our Democracy more than when government officials put their public office up for sale. We will also make it a priority to develop defensive and offensive cyber capabilities at our U.S. Cyber Command, and recruit the best and brightest Americans. One of my first directives after taking office will be asking the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and all relevant federal departments, to conduct a thorough review of United States cyber defenses and identify all vulnerabilities – in our power grid, our communications systems, and all vital infrastructure. I will then ask for a plan to immediately protect those vulnerabilities. At the same time, we will invest heavily in offensive cyber capabilities to disrupt our enemies, including terrorists who rely heavily on internet communications. These new investments in cybersecurity, and the modernization of our military, will spur substantial new job creation in the private sector and help create the jobs and technologies of tomorrow. America must be the world’s dominant technological powerhouse of the 21st century, and young Americans – including in our inner cities – should get these new jobs."

As Trump noted "Hillary Clinton has taught us all how vulnerable we are to cyber hacking."
Right in her lying coughing face.

Of course the main stream media doesn't know what to do with this calm well stated speech full of details and specific policy proposals which also lists Hillary's corruption and failures. It is sure to be ignored in favor of some bullshit like birtherism or something that Trump didn't say or do. I await the spin of the anti-Trump brigade who will tell us how it doesn't matter and that Hillary has already won.

Just listen to what he is saying. In your heart you know know he is right.

All good points and salient.

All he needed to add wrt Frumpty's war on Russia was Pissy's line about the 80s calling. If anybody wants to go back to the Cold War, or WWII, it's this crowd.

This is the firm of Sessions, Miller, & Ailes doing what it does best.

BTW something to watch for tonight - Frumpty had another coughing fit today. Third in 3 days.

I linked this earlier, but it bears a repost. Look at the featured comment about Sjogren’s Disease.

I watched the speech after it was given and it was a really good speech. He lays out exactly how he wants to strengthen the country militarily. However, what he needs to be able to counter are the RMPC fools and nutjobs who will claim he is now in the pocket of the military industrial complex.

Ed, I think there is a good enough case made now that she has Parkinson's and she's on LevoDopa.

I knew binge watching House would pay off - Candidiasis secondary to Sjogren's syndrome, season 5, episode 5, complete with a bisexual woman. It is an autoimmune disease and while some of the puzzle pieces fit, I am not convinced that is the final diagnosis for Mrs. Clinton.

I have a feeling the autopsy will show a myriad of problems.

Kind of like Errol Flynn who surprised many that he lived as long as he did.

Even If She Wins

Can people be helped?
Do we need big gubmint?
Will it stop Roy Orbison from cryin'?
Remember: no matter how many times the earth has been pinched and poked,
To quote ol' e e cummings,
It still comes back in the spring with wild flowers
- WILD FLOWERS -
So be not afraid.

Autopsy? HA!!! They'll go straight to cremation to destroy all evidence of any illness. Sound familiar?

Even if it does happen and they cut open that shitsack body of hers all they'll find is a jack-in-the-box clown popping out with a post-it note taped to it that says, "Whitewater: The Struggle was Real" and dust.

On another note, sounds like the forum was not Frumpty's Finest Hour.

First crack out of the box, a former Naval officer nails her with what would have happened to him if he'd done what she did.

Then Trump hits her the with the fact Pissy, Frumpty, and Lurch did the exact opposite of what the intel briefings recommended.

edutcher said...

Looks like the Forum did go to Trump, if the Lefties are any indication.

Even with Frumpty wearing an earpiece.

Unless she's got something wrong there, too.

I watched it. Matt Lauer was a friggin tool, but Trump did not rise to the bait and stayed calm and did mostly a good job. Hillary got hit by the audience and did not have a good answer on the emails. I am assuming she might have gotten some feedback through her "ear ring" which happens. Because what almost seventy year old woman doesn't have a piercing in her ear canal?

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

Funny, I thought the opposite.

Sorry Hillary has to answer questions on her emails, but what the hell does she and her supporters expect? That Lauer is not going to ask about it? Who do they think he is, Katie Couric?

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

I thought Lauer overly challenged Trump on point after point. Trump remained mostly unflappable.

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

That was not a pearl in Hillary's ear canal...it was an egg

Amartel said...

Lauer's "aggressive" questioning of Trump was all posturing and interrupting and disrespect; nothing Trump can't handle. Lauer's is a show pony celebrity like his hero Obama; he only looks like he might be able to do the job. He does not have the depth to challenge Trump substantively. His bias was obvious. He probably thought that asking a few relevant questions of Clinton would show his "balance" but it only got him scolded by her team.
