Ukraine- What would Reagan do?

[JakeStarkey]

Reagan would never have announced to the world that we were going to reduce our military to the point where we would no longer be dominant in space, on the seas or in the air. He would never have proudly told the world that our military would henceforth be incapable of fighting a war on two fronts.

Sigh. We would still be the strongest military force on the planet, on the ground, on the seas, in the air and space.

Where do you come up with this nonsense?

Ukraine- What would Reagan do?

Nothing, because U was part of the USSR when he was alive.

If he was alive today? Nothing.

Would it even be happening if Reagan were POTUS today?

berlin walls were torn down not built when Reagan was president

The Berlin Wall came down sometime after St Reagan was out of office.

 

[Trajan]

We have members of the Putin loving right on the Board and have since last year. Distressing, but weak heads will be weak heads.

like?

 

[boedicca]

Well, for one thing, Reagan would not have gutted the defense budget in order to funnel taxpayer money to expanding entitlements and Big Government Cronyism...thus emboldening Putin to engage in rebuilding the USSR.

 

[Trajan]

Nobody likes Putin. He's an asshole.

You don't have to be on Putin's "side" to know that Obama is an effeminate pansy with a feckless foreign policy.

Obama is like Jimmy Carter II. You get all the weakness and incompetence, with none of the southern charm.

to be fair to Carter his def. budgets are often maligned, he increased it every year, especially in his last 2 years as he had seen soviet intransigence, Afghanistan etc. he LEARNED and he started the funding of and tacit sppt. of Charlie Wilson to sppt the "Mujaheddin" , a general term heavily mischaracterized and used a cudgel by the self willed ignorant dupes ( Reagen created Mujaheddin they took down the towers, ergo Reagan is to blame ) .

WATCH: Stewart Mocks Conservative Chorus on Ukraine?'What Would Reagan Do?' | Alternet

Jon Stewart made merciless fun of the recent outpouring of conservative pundits calling for President Obama to be more Ronald Reagan-like when it comes to dealing with the unrest in Ukraine. "What would Reagan do?" has been the common hue and cry on Fox news and other news outlets. Especially rich was having Reagan lackey Oliver North commenting that Reagan, unlike Obama, did not draw "red lines," he simply acted. Yes, Stewart pointed out, that's Oliver North, the one illegally sold arms to Iran, and illegally funded the Nicaraguan contras. That's the one we should be listening to all right.

Stewart then gave several examples of how well Reagan's action-oriented policies yielded such fantastic results. Funding the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan to fight the Russians. Of course, it was the the extreme elements of the Mujahadeen that became the Taliban, but, we didn't have to fight them for another "12 years," said Stewart, long after Reagan had left office. And, of course, Reagan selling arms to Saddam Hussein, whom we did not have to fight for another "two years . . . and then another 12 years after that."

Needless to say, the video is hilarious and factually spot-on.

Therefore, its entirely unsuitable viewing for the Putin-loving right.

Ironic that your most trusted and effective spokespersons are comics......

 

[Trajan]

This never would have happened while Reagan sat in the oval office. It would have been solved before anyone knew what was going on. See...President Reagan was a real president. Not a piss-ant community organizer with a TV addiction.

You mean like Beirut? Which Obama mistake has been as bad or worse than Reagan's tragic, colossal fuck-up in Beirut?

you want that in bodies or ?

 

[whitehall]

Another example of the radical left depending on the comedy channel for news analysis. That's funnier than Stewart's rants.

Reagan, or most any other Republican President wouldn't project the weakness that Obama does.

I'm remembering when Romney said during the election that Russia was America's number one geopolitical threat, Democrats and the liberal lapdog media lambasted him for it. Yet here we are five years later and Obama has been humiliated on the world stage by Putin several times now.

Obama opening the door for Russia to expand their power is just his way of being more "flexible".

Myth. Berlin Wall was still standing when Reagan left office. So was the USSR.

He napped most of the time and left criminals like poindexter secord and ollie north running amuck. By far the administration with the most criminal convictions. Way over a hundred. Many pardoned by poppy bush. Obama and company are choir boys compared to the reagan gang.

 

[jasonnfree]

Iranians hate Jimmy Carter to this very day because of the support he gave the mullahs.

And they loved reagan because he was the guy that got them (muslims) weapons. The nitwit also made sure afghanis had stinger missiles that were later used on US troops.

Reagan was a better president while napping than Obama's best day. But if Republicans take over the Senate and White House I think you'll be seeing criminal convictions on a scale not seen before.
