Did anyone read Kurt Schlichter’s latest column? He wrote much more eloquently what I wrote earlier this week. Talking tough works. Being a wimp doesn’t. What’s the purpose of having the most powerful military in the world if you don’t make people think you will use it. What did Teddy Roosevelt say? “Walk softly but carry a big stick.” Trump talks tough and has the big stick to back it up.
Then, you have Dimocrats like Jimmah Carter and Obungler. When the Iranians took our diplomats prisoner, in violation of international law, Khomeini was shocked at Jimmah’s response. He expected threats of military force and was getting ready to release the hostages. Then,when Jimmah didn’t make any military threats, he didn’t release the hostages and it cost Jimmah the election, as it should have. Since Khomeini thought Reagan was a cowboy and would take military action, he released them.
If only Dimocrats were as tough on our enemies as they are on Republicans. If only Republicans had spines.
Here is part of his column.
Trump gets it, and of course he does. He’d never get fleeced like Obama did by Iran, and he will end that deadly charade. See, Trump grew up in the smashmouth world of New York real estate, not in some milquetoast academic oasis where competition is considered tacky and Americans interests are secondary to liberal ideology in the eyes of the citizens of the world in charge.
That’s why foreign policy liberals get rolled. They imagine our enemies are as weak, feckless, and afraid as they are. Trump and Kim Jong License to Ill understand each other, not because they are moral equivalents – our morally bankrupt elite believes that – but because for good to prevail it needs to be ready, willing, and able to kick evil’s butt.
Trump has apparently made the simple, crude, and utterly obvious play by leveraging American military power to force the North Koreans to the table. Sure, there is diplomatic pressure via China, information operations designed to destabilize the regime, and promises of money to allies, but at the end of the day, it’s our military that gives our enemy pause. Trump’s vision and his intent are absolutely clear – conform, or the United States will kill you and flatten your crappy little country. Fire up that séance to ask ISIS how defying a Mattis-powered U.S. military works out, Fat Boy.
Obumbler was the black Jimmah Carter. Jimmah gave us the “cowboy and buffoon” Reagan who turned things around after the disaster that was Carter and Oblunder gave us the “cowboy and buffoon” Trump who is Making America Great Again after the disasterous eight years of Obongo.
