The Most Fearsome Hawk of All: Donald Trump's Careless, Brutal Plans for the U.S. Put the World in Peril @alternet

The Most Fearsome Hawk of All: Donald Trump's Careless, Brutal Plans for the U.S. Put the World in Peril @alternet:

"Trump’s plan is to use American ground troops to forcibly seize the most valuable resource in two different sovereign countries. The word for that is colonialism. Trump wants to wage war in the name of explicitly ransacking poorer countries for their natural resources"

Robert Gates: Republican Foreign Policy “Would Embarrass A Middle Schooler”

"He’s absolutely right, and beautifully sums up our current predicament with the Republican Party. One of these people will be nominated for the Presidency, but their policies are simplistic fantasies with absolutely no basis in reality."

Former Pentagon chief Robert Gates: Republicans’ grasp of national security is at a child’s level

Former Pentagon chief Robert Gates: Republicans’ grasp of national security is at a child’s level

"Robert Gates , a Republican stalwart and former US defence secretary who served under eight presidents, has derided the party’s election candidates for a grasp of national security issues that “would embarrass a middle schooler”. An ex-CIA director who first joined the White House under Richard Nixon, Gates joked that if frontrunner Donald Trump wins the presidency, he would emigrate to Canada."

Tom Cotton Accepted $1 Million From Israel To Sabotage Iran Nuclear Deal

"And this perfectly illustrates how Israel got Republicans to turn against their own country, and is fitting since a recent NSA leak has revealed that Israel did, indeed, bribe GOP members of Congress to rail against the Iran deal."

Mike Huckabee To Young People: The Only Thing We Want To Give You Is A War To Die In (VIDEO)

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/12/16/mike-huckabee-to-young-people-the-only-thing-we-want-to-give-you-is-a-war-to-die-in-video/
"And that is particularly tough talk coming from a complete hypocrite who never served in the military a single day in his pathetic life. While he gleefully wants to send young people to die in the Middle East, Huckabee himself attended college in his youth before quitting seminary school to take a job in the manipulative industry known as Christian broadcasting. Huckabee took this job when he was 21-years-old in 1976. That means he was of age to enlist in the military in 1973 at a time when the Vietnam War was still raging on. But Huckabee chose to go to college rather than fight for his country. He would deny young people the same choice today, which should drive young people to the polls in 2016 to soundly defeat the Republican Party. After all, Huckabee is hardly the only GOP candidate who wants to wage perpetual warfare in the Middle East. And young voters have the power to do this. 67 percent of young people voted for President Obama in 2012, which was double the percentage Mitt Romney received. Mike Huckabee is a coward, not because he chose college over the military, but because he wants to force young people to do what he refused to do when he was young. Politicians have no right to be so gung-ho about war and sending kids to die when they themselves have never served."
