Rudy Giuliani Watch: What Are You Going to Do About Putin?
Republican presidential candidate, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, speaks during a town hall meeting in Boca Raton, Florida November 30, 2007.
At a town hall meeting in Florida this afternoon, a questioner asked Rudy what he was going to do about Russian President Vladimir Putin?
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Friday advocated a strong military build-up by the United States as a bulwark against the oil-rich Russian President Vladimir Putin and his increasing consolidation of power in the country.
“The good part with Russia is we’re not in a Cold War, there is no longer a Soviet empire, their desires are still of a matter of concern but they’re not nearly what they used to be and we don’t want to get ourselves back into that,” said Giuliani, who described Putin as both “good and bad.”
“Long term the way we prevent getting ourselves back into that, both with regard to Russia, and even China, is to become militarily even stronger.”
Of course! And a good answer by the Mayor. The military was weakened by Hillary Clinton’s husband, Bill, and while he used the “peace dividend” to pay down budget deficits over the long term America’s military might still suffers.
The Mayor has not lost a step with the “political hits” over the last few days and is playing to his leadership role as America’s next President.
When the chips are down, who does America REALLY want as President to lead them against Russia, China, Iran and the rest of the Islamofascists?
Rudy
Stay tuned…….

I love this statement:
“The military was weakened by Hillary Clinton’s husband, Bill, and while he used the “peace dividend†to pay down budget deficits over the long term America’s military might still suffers.”
It’s so true. Maybe this a good time for him to revamp his position on gun control. If he takes a quick look at history, I’m sure he will realize that our founding fathers, who wrote the second amendment, intended for us to defend ourselves from the future immoral people who wish to kill us or our fellow countrymen. Hey, who know’s, may a few hours hunting with Mike Huckabee may make some real conservatives jump on the Rudy bandwagon :).
All and all, it was a good article, although, I don’t believe that Russia will be as dangerous in the future as some other nations. The Russian population is vastly decreasing. Meanwhile the Chinese still continue to vast populate this planet. I would be more worried about them if I had to choose one. I really hope whoever is elected will increase our miltary power, because history has proven that diplomacy will not work with some people and that is why Americans must be prepared.
