Donald Trump Talks Aggressively About NOT Being the Policeman of the World

[Chieppa1]

I was uncomfortable reading this article. Mostly because it sounds much better than the Neo-Con Imperialist Rubio. Not antiwar by any means, but a bit refreshing. Rand Paul's foreign policy has a place.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says America will be glad if he’s the president next time the nation is attacked.

"If we are attacked, somebody attacks us, wouldn't you rather have Trump as president if we're attacked?" he said at a rally in Milford, N.H. "We'll beat the shit out of them."

He added that America needs to stop "playing games."

"We've become the policemen to the entire world," he said. "We take care of the world. They pay us peanuts."

Trump said under him, the U.S. would get along better with Russia and other countries.

"We can use them to knock out ISIS with us so that maybe we don’t always have to pay for it,” he said.

“Knock the hell out of them, but let them drop some of their bombs that cost $1 million apiece, let them use some of their weapons that cost billions of dollars," Trump added.

"Let them beat the shit out of ISIS also.”

Foreign Affairs: Bush promised a humble foreign policy with no nation building. He had criticized the Clinton-Gore Administration for being too interventionist: "If we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road. And I'm going to prevent that."[1]

Yes, yes I know. Pointing out that the whole GOP isn't into nation building.

Let the Chinese go broke doing it for a few decades.

^Exactly. This works.

The last time I believed a guy like Trump saying this stuff, we ended up with 2 wars that have lasted twice as long as America's involvement in WW2. The rest of this country can be okay with having the word "sucker" tattooed on their forehead, I'll pass.

Yes, yes I know. Pointing out that the whole GOP isn't into nation building.

But almost the whole GOP is into nation bombing.

I like Donald Trump except for his foreign policy.

After Paul, Bernie and Trump are the lesser evils of the mainstream parties from appearances. I'm not voting.

Trump gets some amazing endorsements like this one: http://www.weeklystandard.com/kristol-i-have-come-to-loathe-donald-trump/article/1072091

Trump, the man who cannot be bought and who isn't interested in any sort of profit that might result from policing the world... Is that how I'm supposed to see this one?

Nope, it's that if we let Russia take care of it we will get something, (safety) for the cost of (nothing). Its the same thing Sanders is selling you. It's the millennial mentality eating the American mentality like the ouroboros.

I don't believe for a second that a President Trump wouldn't be involved in the ME. My point was that, sadly, this type of policy is actually a step in the right direction. Rubio and Cruz will dive right into the next conflict Israel or the UN asks them to get into. Trump has the possibility of saying "handle it yourself". Or at least that's how he views things now.

If this type of policy stance starts to hurt Trump, he's also the type of guy that would call out the voters themselves for being too hawkish. Which is what no politician would ever do.

Trump has the best foreign policy of the remaining Republican candidates.

Some of the hawkish figures who Ted Cruz recently dismissed as "crazy neo-con invade-every-country-on-earth and send our kids to die in the Middle East"...say they'd consider supporting Cruz anyway if he's the last man between Donald Trump and the Republican presidential nomination....
The neocons' willingness to consider Cruz stands in sharp contrast with a new line of current conventional wisdom in Washington that Cruz, who is the object of particularly intense personal dislike from establishment Republicans, is actually less acceptable to the establishment than Trump. The logic of many of the Republican interventionists: Cruz, according to this argument, doesn't really mean his criticism, or at least might change his mind; Trump, by contrast, has longstanding, if sometimes incoherent, isolationist impulses.

Which makes it surprising so many people here are voting in the poll in favor of Cruz.

Trump's foreign policy is solid, only guy talking about actually being friendly with Russia in either party. Everybody else seems to want to have another Cold War and double defense spending.

He also stated that Israel is the main obstacle for peace in the Middle East.
