he was deeply troubled by what he interpreted as an attempt by the president to subvert U.S. foreign policy....What's next? An attempt by the guy in the Oval Office to exercise the veto power? When will the Resistance wake up to this cancer on the Republic?
Apparently LtC Vindman has difficulty with the concept that the USA's interests are primary in foreign policy. His former superior in NATO exercises mentions a verbal reprimand.

ReplyDeleteSo you guys get it here: "It was a legitimate request that an American be investigated for corrupt practices WRT a foreign country. If (I said "if") it was ALSO an opportunity for Trump to kick a political opponent, and he secretly cackled with glee as he said it, that is not different from what politicians always do. We may consider that unseemly, not the straight bat, or unpresidential, but it isn't anything new. Does anyone think that the Democrats have ever been immune from pursuing a foreign policy objective, with the added benefit of kicking Republicans in the balls? That was pretty much Obama's entire policy in the ME.
As with so many topics coming off the left - that America is a polluter, that we have supported disgusting dictators, that the Republicans are hypocrites, that we have many racists and sexists in our history - the key question is "Compared to whom?"
There's something wrong with America, and one doesn't need an Oracle or Ymar to tell them that any more.

Consider Pelosi and Kerry making trips to Damascus to commiserate with Assad on how that horrible Dubya had messed up the Middle East. Coincidentally, David Duke also made a trip to Damascus to do the same. Nary a peep from the MSM about Pelosi and Kerry doing the same thing as David Duke.Imagine if two Republican politicos and David Duke all made trips to a foreign country to denounce the foreign policy of a Democrat President. The MSM would be hammering that point for months-and years.
Democrat Senators voted against theIraq War Resolution of January 12-1991 ,by a 45-10 margin. That to me indicated that the Democrats were treating foreign policy as a domestic issue. On domestic issues, if a Republican President is for it, the Democrats are against it. Sounds rather like the Gulf War I vote, doesn't it?
