It appears that Donald Trump is taking a practical view of American foreign policy, putting an emphasis on regional stability over the spread of political reform.
“Sometimes the bad guy is better than the people we’re going to put in,” Trump said on an interview on Fox News’ Hannity. “You just have to see what happened in Libya and what happened in Iraq.”
Trump criticized what he believes is the administration’s wasteful support of unknown elements on the ground in Syria, including the Free Syrian Army and supposed “moderate” elements of the Syrian resistance.
“It’s hard to get enthusiastic about backing people for billions and billions of dollars, that we have no idea who they are. This has happened to us so many times over the years we’ve been scammed by people.”
When asked to address Russia’s recent escalation of its presence in Syria, the billionaire real estate mogul didn’t appear too concerned with President’ Putin’s aggressive support of Bashar al-Assad. Trump suggested Russian policy could lead to a repeat of the Soviet Union’s ill-fated, 10-year war in Afghanistan.
“Russia will probably be in a quagmire; they’ll be stuck in there for years to come. If you remember what happened to them in Afghanistan, that broke up the Soviet Union.”
Trump suggested we turn our attention to pressing domestic issues.

Trump is right again.
ReplyDeleteAnd Donald Trump is completely correct.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Putin is pursuing his doctrine of "Russia for Russians" and attempting to stop the Muslim invasion at any cost. The exact opposite of Obama's machinations.
ReplyDeleteI disagree; the Carter administration was the dumbest but Obama isn't far behind.
ReplyDeleteeither way, Trump scores high once again!
ReplyDeleteA leader doesn't throw insults out, he shows a plan that puts his competitors to shame. He shows how HE would make it better, and plants that seed into the voters mind. With all of the support for Trump, it shows that the low information voters are on all sides of the political spectrum.
ReplyDeleteTrump is telling the truth. All you have to do is look at the news, or listen to the great "o" telling the citizens how wonderful things are.
ReplyDelete1:44,If the solution is to let foreign powers settle it on their own, why demand a "plan"from Trump?
ReplyDeleteThat's been our problem for centuries; we keep meddling in wars that are going along just fine the way they are.
Carter was this countries stupidest president, this is way God has given him cancer.
ReplyDeleteThat is an ignorant, appalling statement. If your religion makes you think this, you need to put down the book and start thinking as a lucid, logical and humane person.
DeleteIf you are capable of it.
