Per MSNBC, former G.O.P. candidate, George Patacki says that both Trump and Cruz are very flawed candidates and that neither are a credit to the Republican party or it's general platform and values..

How true and each for different reasons, equally bad!

The U.S., together with S. Korea and Japan, have warned N. Korea not to conduct a fifth Nuclear Test and have warned that there will be sanctions and further isolation of the rogue country if N. Korea ignores the warning as they have done many prior times.

There has been a wide gulf between warnings from President Obama and actual action. Hopefully this time we won't just see another Obama "Red Line" or another game of "Kick The Can." N. Korea will only get bolder and sooner or later their nuclear tests will become the real thing.

Per Reuters News, President Obama's recent visit to Cuba has been branded as nothing more than an attempt to launch an attack upon Cuba's history and culture and to influence a new business class there so as to undermine the revolution initiated by Fidel Castro. This kind of "blow back" was foreseeable.

Fidel Castro himself stated that Obama tried to sweet talk the Cuban people so as to mislead them into accepting a more capitalist way of life rather than the life the Communist Revolution has provided to them.

While Obama's intentions were to accomplish some policy change on that imprisoned island that would have improved the lives of the Cuban people, all that apparently resulted from the effort was to anger the Cuban government leaders and harden their hearts and minds all the more against American culture and values.

The President had been warned that just such a result would likely occur prior to his visit which ultimately became another vacation for him on our tax payers' money.

The foreign Minister of Poland has warned that Vladimir Putin is planning more aggression against NATO's eastern flank and calls for a summit to discuss appropriate counter measures.

The weak response of President Obama to the recent close buzzing of an American warship near the coast of Poland has predictably encouraged yet more aggression from Russia. After nearly two full terms in office, it is clear that nothing is going to result in any change of behavior from this most ineffective and weak chief executive.

And all Trump would do is pull out of the NATO alliance all together if he was in the Oval Office!

As per A.P., Secretary of State Kerry will be meeting with Iranian officials again to discuss Iran's complaint that the U.S. hasn't lived up to all the sanctions relief promised in the Iranian Nuclear Agreement.

In fact, it is Iran that has failed to live up to the agreement given their continued ballistic missile tests, their unending export of terrorism and their human rights violations together with their transfer of weapons to terrorist groups around the world.

Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, stated that any concessions that may be planned by Kerry and Obama will be resisted in every way possible by Congress as well they should be.

The pathetically weak Obama administration has already made far to many concessions to Iran!

a reply to: Cybercreig:

As per The Drive Magazine, 70% of U.S. Marine F-18 fighter jets can't fly. It appears that Obama's administration has apparently allowed maintenance issues in our national defense and weapons department to get totally out of kilter. Not a good sign at all.

The above will hopefully be addressed and corrected quickly!

a reply to: CrazyWater:

Per The New York Observer, Vladimir Putin has delivered a stark message to the U.S. Navy regarding the harrowing incident off the coast of Poland in which an American warship was closely buzzed by Russian planes recently. And that message makes Putin's challenge very clear-----"Buzz Off."

When will our weak President Obama and his impotent secretary of state, John Kerry, finally understand this and other similar messages and try to show some courage so that America doesn't continue to lose respect around the world!

As per the AP, Major General Yair Golan of Israel has warned the Lebanese based terrorist group, Hezbollah, that another war with them will result in devestating damage to their infrastructure.

Iran has recently been sending Hezbollah dangerous new weapons for use against the Jewish state in greater amounts than ever before, and this warning is a justifiable attempt by Israel to avoid yet another conflict in the area.

Don't know what you're talking about.

a reply to:Wiltell:

As per Reuters, Russia accused America Wednesday of intimidation by sailing a United States naval destroyer close to Russia's borders in the Baltic and Putin warned that the Russian military would respond with all necessary measures to any future such incidents.

When the above is added to the recent buzzing by Russian planes of an American warship near the coast of Poland, it appears more like it is Putin who is doing the intimidating and then turning it around and accusing the U.S. of same.

In any case, things are heating up and becoming ever more dangerous in Eastern Europe and in the Balkins. Russia is apparently getting more and more aggressive and proactive with little respect for the West and NATO.

a reply to: Cybercreig:

As per UPI, China is deploying several thousand troops along it's border with N. Korea in the belief that the rogue state is about to launch a fifth nuclear test even after warnings not to do so from the United States, and even after China's own advice to N.Korea to start a denuclearization process.

Kim Jung Un is defying even it's major benefactor and trade partner, China, as his rogue country continues along a defiant path toward becoming a full fledged nuclear power.

As per Newsweek Magazine, America's allies are worried and concerned by what direction the country might be headed. Statements by Trump about withdrawing from NATO and not allowing any Muslims into the U.S. leave a perception that our world partners can no longer count on our help when threats occur such as those recently experienced with Vladimir Putin near Poland and in the Balkins.

Even though it is Hillary Clinton who will most likely occupy the White House next January, many of our allies in Europe and elsewhere have to wonder whether she will do nothing more than did the outgoing President Obama who basically approached international issues like an ostrich, his head buried in the sand while hoping the issues would just go away.

NATO has to be certain that the United States will honor it's commitments and the current political climate and recent world events leave only doubt and grave uncertainty as to whether our allies can look to us for help during a future world crisis, or as to whether we will even be capable of providing that help!

a reply to: AVoiceOfReason:

As per The Daily Beast, there has been a reduction in violence and unrest during the past six months in the West Bank due to the excellent Israeli Security forces in combination with more help from the P.L.O. security personnel in the area.

Meanwhile, the terrorist group, Hamas, has claimed responsibility for the recent bombing on an Israeli bus in Jerusalem that injured eleven civilians, and another Hamas built tunnel was recently found running into Israel from Gaza that is utilized to smuggle weapons into the hands of their terrorist recruits.

So the indication, unfortunately, is that the recently reduced violence in Israel likely will only be a short lived respite!

a reply to:AVoiceOfReason:

As per AFP, Hamas just carried out yet another suicide bombing attack, again on a bus in the heart of Jerusalem. This time twenty persons were injured in the attack which comes on the heels of the prior bombing that injured eleven.

The brief respite in Israel sadly turned out to be even briefer than I thought!

a reply to: Willtel:

As per CBS News, President Obama's meeting with Saudi Arabia did not go well. The Saudis are angry with the concessions Obama and Kerry made to Iran in the Iran Nuclear Agreement and made it clear that U.S.-Saudi relations will not improve until after Obama is out of office.

During the meeting it was stressed that the U.S. needs Saudi Arabia's help in order to defeat Isis and other terrorist groups in the Middle East.

This is just one more example of our impotent and ineffective President failing to take the necessary steps to lead an effective coalition against Isis that includes Sunni Muslims and influential Middle Eastern countries which is vital to the successful eradication of the Radical Islamic Jihadists!

a reply to:Cybercreig:

As per The New York Post, The Russians and the Chinese are flexing their muscles all over the World and flaunting their military power in Obama's face but our President still took time out to explain to Great Britain that the only reason he moved a bust of the great Winston Churchill out of the oval office and placed it elsewhere around seven years ago was to make room for a bust of Martin Luther King. It was a very good thing Obama did in honoring the great late civil rights leader with a bust in the White House but that is not the point raised in the N.Y.Post.

The point is that the President SHOULD be spending his remaining time in office doing his job to strengthen our armed forces and showing some muscle of our own to Russia and China. The aggression on the part of Russia and China will only worsen the more they see evidence that Obama simply won't stand up to them.

Likewise, Isis remains on the march and Obama's current strategy is nothing more than an occasional bombing raid which has proven ineffective to slow the terrorist group down.

It appears that until this weak and cowardly President is out of office, the sad status quo he has established for our country will remain unaltered. Obama will find any excuse he can to discuss anything else other than his duty to protect the American people!

a reply to:Cybercreig:

As per World Magazine, Russian forces, now once again in Syria, have fired on an Israeli aircraft. Given Obama's weakness in dealing with international issues, Israel will be left to deal with this and any other future such incidents entirely on it's own.

Like our other major allies, Israel feels it can no longer count on the strength or leadership of the United States as long as the weak and cowardly Obama is in office!

a reply to:Cybercreig:

As per World magazine, the Israeli Prime Minister has told Vladimir Putin that the Golan Heights, once under control of Syria, will remain under the full and absolute control of the Jewish state and that it was to be considered a Red line!

While Obama delivered the same message to Putin, the President's red lines mean absolutely nothing. But Putin would be well advised to take the Israeli Red line concerning the Golan Heights very seriously indeed!

There is a good chance that Russia's firing upon upon an Israeli aircraft over Syria is the opening round in this new potentially dangerous development in Russian Israeli relations.
