“How cool is that to actually make the Chinese politburo sit through a night of American targeted bombing?”
And it’s not a bad Russian translation like Hillary’s “overcharge” of a reset button. Mark Steyn is a NH treasure and here are some words concerning Trump vs Obama and Trump’s messaging to the rest of the world. He campaigned that his main thrust would be America First – certainly Steyn thinks that Trump is delivering on his promises:
How Syria shakes out in three, five years time, we can’t know. and we should be cautious about that after what’s happened in Libya and Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere. But simply as a response to a provocation, I mean, basically, Assad said, ‘The world hasn’t changed. For the last eight years I’ve been able to kill my own people and get away with it.’
They put dead babies on the world’s TV screens and Trump said enough of this. And that’s a change. That’s a real Russian reset button. That’s a real reset button upon the world.
It shows you he responds to things. He’s very nimble and able to respond to things. The disgusting aspect of the last eight years is that Obama mistook the sidelines for the moral high ground.
So he would use all this lofty rhetoric about red lines and he would stand there would be people killing each other, slaughtering each other, dead babies and he’d stand there with his hand on his hip giving a speech. And he stripped words of their meaning. And Trump isn’t as articulate. He isn’t as polished but his words have meaning. And to do that while is he having dinner with the Chinese. You said did he tell him over the salad bowl, as I understand it, he told him over the creme brulee or the tiramisu. How cool is that to actually make the Chinese politburo sit through a night of American targeted bombing?
