The 2016 Sleazy Elitist Democratic Presidential Candidates
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Martin O'Malley announced today. He'll make an excellent Secretary of Something in Hillary's cabinet.

Yeah, after she obliterates Iran, he can call up his developer buddies for some sweetheart deals to rebuild it.Adam54 wrote:Martin O'Malley announced today. He'll make an excellent Secretary of Something in Hillary's cabinet.

I feel that the U.S. has no stomach for the fight it would find itself in vs Iran.

Maybe the US is just tired of always being the away team. We've played precious few games on our home field since the nineteenth century.

Expansionist China and Beligerent Russia potentially higher up the list too.

China is not expansionist, and Russia isn't doing anything the US hasn't done time and again in recent decades.Dalty wrote:Expansionist China and Beligerent Russia potentially higher up the list too.
Iran, however, is a relatively soft target that can be bombed back to the stone age without ground troops. That's what the foreign policy right wingers of the Democratic Party, such as Hilary, along with her Republican fellow travelers, have wanted for years now.
Like the Kosovo crusade, on steroids.

Re: The 2016 Sleazy Elitist Democratic Presidential Candidates
Iran is considerably stronger than any adversary America has gone up against since....... probably Korea.
China's actions in the Spratleys disagree with your non-expansionist statement. America hasn't annexed half of the Ukraine either.

Re: The 2016 Sleazy Elitist Democratic Presidential Candidates
I would not classify it as "expansionism," as in Tibet or Xinjiang. More like great power maneuvering. The Spratleys have been contested by many nations for several years, and China is merely establishing dominance in her rightful sphere of influence.
As far as Russia is concerned: I'm not here to defend Putin's actions, but I don't see how the US government has the moral authority to offer condemnation--particularly if such jeremiads are coming from the Valkyrie-esque Mrs. (Ms.?) Clinton.

Anyone watch last night? Heard Hillary pretty much came out smelling like a rose. Guess Biden missed his chance to make a splash by not showing up. Guess he really doesn't want the nomination.

I'm surprised you didn't go for "automatron."

Re: The 2016 Sleazy Elitist Democratic Presidential Candidates
Dan Quayle might disagree--considering his thoughts on the proper spelling of "tomato."

The best thing about Bush II is that we now know what a Quayle Presidency would have looked like.

Dan Quayle is a very good friend. A very, very good friend.

The quality of Quayle's quailing led to calls for it's quelling.
