Fiorina: 'We must be prepared’ to use force on Russia
The Hill ^ | 10/1/15 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 10/01/2015 7:54:38 AM PDT by jimbo123

Amid conflicting reports about Moscow targeting U.S.-alllied groups in Syria, GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said late Wednesday that she backs military readiness against Russian forces.

“I believe we must tell the Russians that we will conduct [and] we will secure a no-fly zone around anti-Assad rebel forces that we’re supporting,” she said on Fox News’s "Hannity."

“Does that mean we might use force against Russian jets?” host Sean Hannity then asked. “Well, hopefully not,” Fiorina responded. "Hopefully, if we are signaling clearly to the Russians are intention, it will not come to that.”

“But if it does come to that, I think we must be prepared,” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO added.

Well I agree they must be “dealt with appropriately.”

Shooting at them, however, is not appropriate, especially as a bluff, per Carly. Because they WILL shoot back.

Escalation is a bitch when you don’t have an endgame.

I agree that we must “be prepared” to use force against pretty much anyone. But actually using force is a matter for huge discussion. We have zero interests in Syria other than the human issue. Even then I see absolutely no reason to criticize Russia for bombing ISIS. Let them “have” Syria so to speak. It’s been theirs for about 50 years already.

I’ve got a daughter and a son-in-law serving. No way I would ever condone them fighting for Syria. Only country in the entire Middle East worth fighting for is Israel. And even then only as a last resort.

You are someone qualified to comment and someone with a brain.

dungo tried to get us into this fight in 2012. It was a terrible idea then to confront Russia in their claimed area. It is also a bad idea to depose another dictator like Assad and further destabilize the region like was done by deposing Saddam.

dungo wants us in this fight because the Russians are siding with Iran, who he has sided with but he is also siding with the Saudis is all I can figure, the Sunni arabs who want to be rid of Assad who is neither sunni or shite...

It is all a mess and we need to stay out of it.

Hillary Clinton told an AP reporter if Russian continues it’s airstrikes in Syria, the U.S. should nuke the Russian Embassy in Washington.

Trump is more likely to get us in a shooting war with the Russians than iCarly is.

Really?

Why? Has Trump said anything about a no-fly zone over a sovereign nation to exclude an invited ally of theirs?

Snarly fiorina has. So have Cotton from Arkansas and Mcarthy etc.
