EXCLUSIVE - 'You don't defeat a crazy man with nuclear weapons, with weakness': Navy SEAL who killed Bin Laden slams US response to Putin, the Pentagon for pushing their climate change plans and says Russia and China are 'laughing at us'
Daily Mail ^ | 12 March 2022 | WILLS ROBINSON

Rob O'Neill was the Navy SEAL who shot the 9/11 mastermind in 2011 in Pakistan.

He has left the service after 16 years and 400 combat missions for his country .

Decorated veteran says Russians are dying for a 'leader who's lost his marbles' .

He also criticized the U.S. and their 'nonsense' ploys and showing 'weakness'.

The example he uses is the canceled nuclear missile test last weekend.

Also said the Pentagon is 'wasting resources' by 'trying to turn warships green'.

...

the decorated veteran criticized the Biden administration for cancelling a nuclear missile test last weekend while Russian forces started to attack Ukrainian citizens and how the Pentagon is more concerned with their climate change agenda than trying to deter Putin.

'You don't defeat a crazy man with nuclear weapons, with weakness. It's like trying to stop a schoolyard bully by appeasing him, it's nonsense.

'When I was in the service, the main concern was whether you could perform the task at hand. Now they (the Pentagon) are wasting time and resources making warships green. The unfortunate truth is Russia and China are laughing at us when we talk about climate change in the military.'

He said he doesn't care about his legacy, despite slaying the founder of Al Qaeda after a decade-long hunt, and is only focused on making sure his children are cared for.

O'Neill also said politicians like Lindsey Graham shouldn’t be talking about assassinating Vladimir Putin for TV ratings...

...

The level of corruption is as high as it has ever been in the United States. These politicians talk from both sides of their mouths. They say one thing and vote for the other.

...

The SEAL was decorated 52 times, leaving as senior chief petty officer.

The two guys in charge of launching 98% of the world’s nuclear weapons are mentally inept.

Why don’t the Climate Change crazies let the Capitalist System work and it will bring about electric and solar battery systems as it is needed without destroying the economy of America.. Change will occur as demand develops.

It has nothing to do with engineering and economic efficiency.

1. Putin is not crazy.

If you couldn’t figure that out, you are a fool who should be the “quiet” professional.

There is a certain amount of humor in seeing the admin trying to act/talk tough about war when it’s emphasis and direction so far has been transvestism and global warming.

How many SEALs have come forward so far to claim being the one who killed Bin Ladin?

I think just him, but I may very well be talking out of my rear end.

Probably wants a headline.

Putin’s behavior is perfectly rational from the standpoint of Russian nationalism. As he sees it he’s returning wayward fellow Russian Slavs to the motherland. Unfortunately he forgot about the impression Stalin made on them.

I agree. I don’t think he’s crazy at all, but he senses the total weakness of both the Western European leaders and especially from the senile potato in DC. He’s playing a dangerous game of chicken to see who blinks first.

This SEAL is a realist and a real conservative, unlike the very loud Liberaltarians on here.

Nice to see some Peace Through Strength, common sense.

I don't want to take anything away from a brave hero, however, he wouldn't be the first person to parlay overwhelmingly great personal accomplishments into an opportunity to make a fool of himself on the world stage talking about things where his expertise is no greater than the next guy. I would not want this guy hunting me down, but that does not make him an expert on international affairs or grand strategy.

It has nothing to do with engineering and economic efficiency.

It is not at all about expertise. It's about about keeping a circle of incompetents in positions of wealth and power, and we are watching as that system has running up on the hard rock of reality. The only thing as difficult to change as geological features are cultural realities. Since WWII where we were on the right side of geopolitics, We have lost our wars all over the world because of this simple fact. Vietnam, Iraq, Arab Spring, Afghanistan.

Much of the world rejects our globalists view of liberal democracy and their version of economic freedom. It has very little to do with individual well-being.
