More from Trump and Carson

"When people call you brilliant, it's always good, especially when the person heads up Russia... He's running his country, and at least he's a leader, you know, unlike what we have in this country... I've always felt fine about Putin."
—Donald Trump

Putin would eat Trump alive and Trump would never realize it. A friend described Putin as 'able to get in a revolving door behind you and exit ahead. The Donald wouldn't stand a chance.

In an equal bit of idiocy, Turkey said they could take out Russia and be in Moscow in no time. I guess they've never heard of a couple of guys named Napoleon and Hitler.


"We've got a phobia about boots on the ground. If our military experts say, 'We need boots on the ground,' we should put boots on the ground and recognize that there will be boots on the ground and they'll be over here, and they'll be their boots if we don't get out of there now."
—Ben Carson

The problem with what Ben is thinking, in his own inimitable and incomprehensible way, is that Iraq DOESN'T WANT US TO PUT OUR BOOTS ON THE GROUND. Regardless of what Ben and most of the RNC idiotscandidates want to think, if we do put troops in the field there, we are playing to the narrative of ISIS. They want to kill Americans and it justifies their basic reason for being that "The Crusader" is trying to destroy Islam. We can keep up the airstrikes, and should have Apaches and A-10 Thunderbolts ready to bring the pain whenever one of our stolen tanks makes an appearance, but the ground work must be done by Arab forces.
