“Our strategy: We win, they lose. - Ronald Reagan
Go, Ted, GO!!”
Do you think Ted Cruz would have levied sanctions on 11 of Putin’s underlings as a “severe” punishment like Hussein Obama has done?
What do you think Cruz’s communication to Putin would have been? The possible choice of his words to Putin boggles the mind. Cruz would be the next Ronald Reagan with the advantage of knowing how to defend every bit of law in the constitution due to his vast knowledge of law that put this country together. Reagan had lawyers advising him but Cruz has lived it in defending Texas in the Supreme Court against criminal Holder several times and other cases for Texas in the Supreme Court.
My God, we need Cruz to save this country from total destruction.
There would've been no need for communication by either Cruz or, e.g., George W. Bush.
Simply stated: Putin wouldn't have attempted his Crimean land grab if either Cruz or Bush had been President. In the first place, he would there would a.) be retaliation and b.) it would be serious.
In the second place, Bush and Cruz would've immediately recognized that Russia had a legitimate interest (and concern) about what was going on in Ukraine -- and would be conferring and coordinating their moves with Putin -- rather than trying to provoke him.
I think Ted Cruz would've long since put our anti-missile shield in Eastern Europe, brought the Ukraine into NATO, and wouldn't have gutted the military...or allowed homos to serve openly. I also think he wouldn't have flapped his gums making empty threats about "red lines" in Syria and Libya, his support for Israel would be staunch, and would've had an immediate response to Benghazi, while the shooting was still going on. I don't think there would have been four dead Americans there if Ted Cruz had been calling the shots that night...pun intended.
Speaking of Benghazi, I would hope that Cruz would put Marines back in our embassies and consulates across the world, and to hell with whatever the "host" country thinks. It's American sovereign territory, and America's best should be protecting it.
At least that's what I hope President Cruz would/will do.
Dawg soldiers up!
